Chapter 3, Problem 32A
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The position of elements in the periodic table with similar chemical properties needs to be determined. The name of the families having elements with similar chemical properties needs to be determined.

Concept introduction:

The periodic table is a proper arrangement of the elements according to their increasing atomic number. The elements of same group have similar properties. The periodic table is divided into two forms one is a vertical column and the other one is horizontal.

Expert Solution & Answer

Answer to Problem 32A

The vertical column in a periodic table are known as group. The elements with similar properties lie in the same group which is termed as family. Some examples of groups or families with similar properties in the periodic table are alkali metal, alkaline earth metals, transition metals, etc.

Explanation of Solution

The elements with similar chemical properties are arranged in vertical columns in the periodic table. These columns are also known as groups in the periodic table. For example: halogen family (group 17).

Conclusion

The elements are arranged according to their atomic number and chemical properties. The different families define a similar type of chemical properties of elements.
