Question
Chapter 2, Problem 2.39P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:Characteristic properties of elements lie from left to right in periodic table along the “staircase” line should be determined.
Concept introduction:Staircase pattern line is seen in group 13 to 17 of representative elements on the periodic table. It is a hypothetical line that separates the metal and non-metal elements and the elements that touch the staircase type line are generally considered as metalloids.
