Chapter 9, Problem 26E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Some examples of the explanatory power of the quantum-mechanical model are to be listed.

Concept Introduction:

The quantum mechanical model explains that the chemical properties of the elements largely depend upon the number of valence electrons present in the elements.

The quantum mechanical model explains the inertness of helium and also the reactivity of hydrogen.
