Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The element with the lowest ionization energy on the periodic table has to be located.
Concept introduction:
Ionization energy is defined as energy required to remove an electron from a gaseous atom or ion.
(b)
Interpretation:
The most electronegative element on the periodic table has to be located.
Concept introduction:
Electronegativity is the property of an atom which increases with its tendency to attract the electrons of a bond.
(c)
Interpretation:
The group
Concept introduction:
The p-block elements are groups
(d)
Interpretation:
The group
(e)
Interpretation:
The group
Concept introduction:
Semiconductor:
A solid substance that has a conductivity intermediate between that of an insulator and that of most metals, either due to the addition of an impurity or because of temperature effects is called semiconductor.
A semiconductor gives partial conductivity of electricity.
(f)
Interpretation:
The group
