(a)
Interpretation:
The chemical symbol of the element in the period 3 that can be used in making computer chips needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The chemical symbol is the designation for the element. It may be one or two letter symbol. Its first letter is always in capital letter and the second letter is always in lowercase. Some examples of chemical symbols are O for Oxygen, Na for sodium, Ca for Calcium etc.
Answer to Problem 40A
Chemical symbol the element which is used in making computer chips is ‘Si’.
Explanation of Solution
The horizontal rows in the periodic table are termed as rows and the vertical columns are termed as groups. There are 7 period and 18 groups in the periodic table. In 3rd period only one metalloid present, Silicon. Silicon is used in making computer chips.
