Concept introduction:
Element that means a fundamental substance that can’t be chemically changed or broken into anything simpler is called elements.

- Distinguish between the terms family and period in connection with the periodic table. For which of these terms is the term group also used?arrow_forwardWhat is the name of the element in Group 4A and Period 5?arrow_forwardGiven that the periodic table is an organizational scheme for the elements, what might be some other logical ways in which to group the elements that would provide meaningful chemical information in a periodic table of your own devising?arrow_forward
- 2.41 How does the periodic table help to make the study of chemistry more systematic?arrow_forwardWhat defines an element? How many naturally occurring elements exist?arrow_forwardAre most elements found in nature in the elemental or the combined form? Why? Name several elements that are usually found in the elemental form.arrow_forward
- One application of conductive polymers is in photovoltaic solar cells. Such devices have traditionally been silicon based. What possible advantages might conducting polymers offer?arrow_forward2.26 In what region of the periodic table are you likely to find elements that form more than one stable ion?arrow_forwardThe symbols for most elements are based on the first few letters of the respective element’s common English name. In some cases, however, the symbol seems to have nothing to do with the element’s common name. Give three examples of elements whose symbols are not directly derived from the element’s common English name.arrow_forward
