Identify the group and period to which each of the following elements belongs:
a.
b. element number
c. zinc
d. element number
(a)
Interpretation:
The group and period of the element
Concept introduction:
The elements in a modern periodic table are arranged in increasing order of their atomic numbers. In the modern periodic table, the horizontal rows are known as periods and vertical columns are known as groups. There are seven periods and eighteen groups in the modern periodic table.
