Question
Justify the given statement with suitable examples- “The Properties of the elements are a periodic function of their atomic numbers”.
✓
Answer
The similarities in the properties arise due to the same distribution of electrons in the outermost orbitals or electronic configuration which depends upon the atomic number. The elements present in a group or period exhibit similar chemical properties which depend upon the atomic number.
