How is the number assigned to a family related to the electron configuration of each element in that family?

The elements on the Periodic Table are arranged in periods and groups. The periods run across the table horizontally from left to right, whilst the groups run vertically from top to bottom. Elements from the same group tend to have similar chemical properties since they have the same number of electrons in their outer shells. :) You can find which elements are in which groups and more about the groups themselves by looking at a periodic table for the numbers above the columns or searching Google for "group 1" for example.

∙ 9y agoThe number assigned to a family is related to the electron configuration of each element in that family, in that each family contains elements with the same valence electron configuration. The most common element families used are alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, transition metals, halogens, and noble gases.

What i s the configuration for Mg?
The element magnesium (atomic number 12) has the electron configuration of1s2 2s2 2p6, 3s2or the noble gas abbreviation [Ne] 3s2(see related link)The electron configuration for neutral magnesium (Mg) is 1s22s22p63s2. The ion, Mg2+, has two electrons fewer, so the outer two electrons are removed from the electron configuration. This changes the electron configuration to 1s22s22p6, which is the same electron configuration as the noble gas neon.

What is the noble gas notation of scandium?
Electronic configuration of scandium: [Ar]3d1.4s2.
How do you find the number of orbitals in an element?
You would have to determine the electron configuration for atoms of a given element. Each s sublevel contains 1 orbital, each p sublevel contains 3 orbitals, each d sublevel contain 5 orbitals, and each f sublevel contains 7 orbitals. Click on the related link to see a periodic table that shows electron configurations for the elements.
How is the number of electrons is a neutral atom of a given element related to the atomic number of that element?
The atomic number tells you how many protons are in the element. The proton count is the same as the electron count as all elements have a charge of zero giving them the same. Simplified: the atomic number shows you how many electrons and protons are in the element. If it is a compound and it has a charge of +1 that means the element has lost one electron and has a positive charge. If it gained a electron it would be -1 as electrons are negatively charged.

What is the element with a valence electron configuration of 4s2 4p3?
Krypton. In order to find this you have to look at the periodic table. Imagine the periodic table is divided into three sections, the first two columns, 1A and 2A, the middle section, the transition metals, and the right side, 3A to 7A. The first two columns are the s electrons, the middle section is the d electrons, and the right side is the p electrons (oversimplification). 4s2 4p6 means go to the 4th period (row). two s's and 6 p's. Just count it. the 4th element in the p electrons in the 4th period is Krypton.
