Best Answer

There are three types of orbitals that involve the third energy level. 3s, 3p, 3d. But when only looking at the third period of the Periodic Table... The 3s pertains to Na and Mg. 3p pertains to Al, Si, P, S, Cl, and Ar. These tables, as you could say, are called Electron Configurations. Therefore, for Argon, Ar, the electron configuration would be 1s22s22p63s23p6 or in shorter version: [Ne] 3s23p6.

Fourth period in periodic table?

This comprises all elements which have one or more electrons in their fourth shell. They comprise the fourth row of the periodic table.


Are elements with similar chemical properties found in the same period or group on the periodic?

Elements with same properties are present in same group. They are not present in same period. For example- alkali metals are present in same group.


What similaries to element in the same period share?

Elements in the same grope share the same amount of energy shells, and valence electrons.


Is Butane in group 2 of the Periodic Table?

The periodic table lists the elements and not compounds. Butane, C4H10, is an organic molecule / compound and hence is not present on the periodic table. The elements that make up butane (carbon and hydrogen) are present on the periodic table. Carbon: group 14, period 2 Hydrogen: group 1, period 1 Besides, group 2 elements are alkaline earth metals.


Write a sentence that describes the purpose of the periodic table?

The elements of the periodic table are arranged in groups and periods. All of the elements in a period have the same number of atomic orbitals where as in a group all the elements have the same number of valence electrons.


Why does the octet rule not hold for many compounds containing elements in the third row of the periodic table and beyond?

Atoms of elements in the third period are less subject to destabilization from additional electron-electron repulsions.The third shell contains d orbitals that are relatively close in energy to 3s and 3p orbitals and provide an allowed energy state for extra electrons.Atoms of elements in the third period have the space and available orbitals to accommodate extra electrons.

The period on the periodic table tells you what?

The group to which the element belongs and, therefore, its chemical properties.


Define periodicity as it relates to the organization of elements on the periodic table?

The relationship is that the elements are organized by periods. Each row is a period and it goes from left to right. Each row is a period identified by different colors. Elements on the same row have something in common. All of the elements in a period have the same number of atomic orbitals. For example all the elements on the 1st row have only one orbital for its electrons. All the elements on the 2nd period (row) have two orbitals for its electrons. This repeats to period (row) 7. - Brian Tui
