Period numbers

The different rows of elements are called periods. The period number of an element signifies the highest energy level an electron in that element occupies (in the unexcited state). The number of elements in a period increases as one traverses down the periodic table because as the energy level of the atom increases, the number of energy sub-levels per energy level increases. 

Periodic table. The group numbers stand above the columns. The numbers at the left of the rows are the period numbers. The black line separates the metals from the nonmetals. [Note A complete periodic table is given inside the front cover.)... 

The two sets of 14 elements listed separately at the bottom of the table are filling f sublevels with a principal quantum number two less than the period number. That is—... 

As in the discussion of hydrogen, in this section we examine the properties of the alkali metals in the context of the periodic table and focus on significant applications of the elements and selected compounds. The valence electron configuration of the alkali metals is s1, where n is the period number. Their physical and chemical properties are dominated by the ease with which the single valence electron can be removed (Table 14.3).

The block s, on the left of the Table, contains the alkali and alkaline earth metals. Each atom of these metals possesses an inert gas core and one or two electrons in the s orbital of the valence shell, that is, an external electron configuration ns1 or ns2 where n is the value of the principal quantum number, and also the period number in the Periodic Table. Notice however that He, owing to its general chemical inertness and to the behaviour similarity with the other noble gasses is generally placed at the far right of the Table. The p block contains elements corresponding to electron... 

Make a rough sketch of the periodic table for elements 1 through 18, including the following information group number, period number, atomic number, atomic symbol, and condensed electron configuration.

The n value of the highest occupied energy level is the period number. For example, atoms of elements that have electrons with n = 3 appear in period 3. Atoms of elements that have electrons with n = 6 appear in period 6. 

You do not have a periodic table. You are told that the condensed electron configuration for strontium is [Kr]5s. Identify the group number, period number, and orbital block in which strontium appears on the periodic table. Show your reasoning. 

From the electron configuration, you can deduce the energy level of the valence electrons, which tells you the period number for strontium. The number of valence electrons and their sublevel enable you to deduce the group number and the block. Therefore ... 

All elements in group 2 (IIA) have electron configurations that end with the notation s. The link between n value and period number is correctly applied. Strontium has an electron configuration with the general notation ns, which is characteristic of s block elements. 

Finally, data can arise as counts of items or events number of epileptic seizures in a 12-month period, number of asthma attacks in a three-month period and number of lesions are just a few examples. 

All the atoms in a given period (a horizontal row of the periodic table) have a common valence shell, and the principal quantum number of that shell is equal to the period number. For example, the valence shell of elements in Period 2 (lithium to neon) is the shell with n = 2. All the atoms in one period have the same type of core. Thus the atoms of Period 2 elements all have a heliumlike Is2 core, denoted [He those of Period 3 elements have a neonlike s12s12p6 core, denoted [Ne]. 

The valence electron configuration of the atoms of the Group 2 elements is ms2, where n is the period number. The second ionization energy is low enough to be recovered from the increased lattice enthalpy (Fig. 14.22). Hence, the Group 2 elements occur with an oxidation number of +2, as the cation M2+, in all their compounds (Table 14.7). Apart from a tendency toward nonmetallic character in beryllium, the elements have all the chemical characteristics of metals, such as having basic oxides and hydroxides.

In order to find the group and period number of any atom, the ground state electron configuration is written first. Then the following points are taken into consideration. 

The biggest principal quantum number (shell number) of any atom shows the period number of that atom.

Since the number of shells increases in the same group from top to bottom (by the period number increases), the atomic radius also increases. This means that the electron cloud around the nucleus becomes larger. The increase in the number of electrons causes them occupy a new energy level and orbitals. A higher energy level is always further from nucleus. Within a period, if the number of protons and electrons increases, the nuclear attraction force increases. This attraction force prevents an enormous increase in atomic radius. Atomic Radius Within a Period...

The alternative derivation of atomic periodicity, based on the distribution of prime numbers and elementary number theory, makes firm statements on all of these unresolved issues. The number spiral predicts periodicities of 8 and 24 for all elements and nuclides respectively limits their maximum numbers, in terms of triangular numbers, to 100 and 300 respectively characterizes electronic angular-momentum sub-levels by the difference between successive square numbers (21 +1) and electron pairs per energy level by the square numbers themselves. In this way the transition series fit in naturally with the periodicity of 8. The multiplicity of 2, which is associated with electron spin, is implicit in these periodicity numbers.
