Question 171 Mark
The atomic radii of three elements X, Y and Z of a period of the periodic table are 186 pm; 104 pm and 143 pm respectively. Giving a reason, arrange these elements in the increasing order of atomic numbers in the period.
Answer
Order of atomic numbers of elements:
X < Z < Y. Because as the atomic number increases in a period from left to right, the size of atoms goes on decreasing.

Question 471 Mark
How does the electronic configuration of the atom of an element relate to its position in the modern periodic table?
Answer
When elements are arranged according to increasing atomic numbers, there is a periodicity in the electronic configurations of the elements. The elements in a period have consecutive atomic numbers. The elements having same number of valence electrons in their atoms are placed in a group. All the elements in a group have similar electronic configurations and show similar properties.
