(a)
Interpretation:
The larger element between bromine and iodine is to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
The elements are organized in periodic table on the basis of their electronic configuration. They are put in different groups and periods according to their
(b)
Interpretation:
The larger element between carbon and nitrogen is to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
The elements are organized in periodic table on the basis of their electronic configuration. They are put in different groups and periods according to their atomic number. This makes the study of these compounds systematic as elements with same chemical properties fall in the same group.
(c)
Interpretation:
The larger element between silicon and potassium is to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
The elements are organized in periodic table on the basis of their electronic configuration. They are put in different groups and periods according to their atomic number. This makes the study of these compounds systematic as elements with same chemical properties fall in the same group.
(d)
Interpretation:
The larger element between chlorine and selenium is to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
The elements are organized in periodic table on the basis of their electronic configuration. They are put in different groups and periods according to their atomic number. This makes the study of these compounds systematic as elements with same chemical properties fall in the same group.
