Short questions from classification of elements

  Answers to Questions a. What is meant by classification of elements? Grouping elements by shared properties. Making the study of elements easy. b. State the modern periodic law. The physical and chemical properties of elements are a periodic function of their atomic numbers. c. How many periods are there in the modern periodic table? There are 7 horizontal rows called periods.   d. What are noble gases? Elements in Group 18 of the periodic table. They are unreactive and stable gases like helium and neon.   e. Why are alkali metals placed in Group 1? They have one valence electron in their outer shell. They share similar chemical properties.   f. Why do noble gases have zero valency? Their outermost electron shells are completely full. They do not need to lose, gain, or share electrons.
