Representive Elements!
Nonmetals
because boron is the first and main element in that group.
Freon-13 is CClF3 and has a total of 5 atoms (1 carbon, 1 chlorine and 3 fluorine atoms)
No. There are 13 elements that are either noble gases or are unstable in nature.
Atoms of elements in Groups 13-18 have 10 fewer valence electrons than their groups numbers.However , helium atoms have only 2 valence electrons.
On the periodic table, aluminum belongs to Period 3. Aluminum also belongs to Group 13. On this table, periods are the horizontal rows of elements that run from left to right. Groups are the vertical columns of elements.
Transition metals
Groups 1, 2, and 13-18.
There are eight groups that make up the main group elements. They are groups 1, 2, and 13 - 18. They are also called the representative elements.
Groups 1, 2, and 13 - 18 are the main group elements, also called the representative elements.
-melting/freezing point -boiling point -density -reactivity with acid -flammability -solubility
elements from group1-2 ,13-18 are called representative elements. Those from 3-12 form the transition elements!
it is the name of the electron subshell that it ends in.
3d-block elements or tranformation elements and 4f-block elements or lanthanides and actinides
Conventionally representative elements are called the chemical elements from the groups 1,2, 13-18. These elements haven't generally variable valencies. The transitions metals are not representative elements.
In the older periodic table, each group was divided into A & B sub-groups. The only problem with that was that there were two different conventions about which elements were labelled "A" and which were labelled "B". Groups 1 & 2 were clearly 'A' (elements like sodium and calcium) and 11 & 12 were clearly 'B' (elements like copper and zinc). But groups 3 through 10 were labelled 'A' in one convention and 'B' in another, and the opposite labels were used for groups 13 through 18.With the second labelling convention, groups labelled 'A' were known as 'main group elements', and groups labelled 'B' were 'transition metals', and that is still the case.Thus in the newer IUPAC scheme, groups 1, 2, and 13 through 18 are called 'main group elements'.
The representative elements are in the groups 1,2, 13-18; the name is given to make a difference toward transition metals.
nonmetals, alkali metals, and halogens, among others.To be precise it is elements in IUPAC groups 1,2, and 13 to 18 -- otherwise designated as the "s-block and p-block" elements.
