Group-14 elements do not transfer electrons. They share electrons to form covalent bonds.

Is water a example of a element?

Yes it is because it's on the periodic table of elements, but its name on it is hydrogen instead of water.

Henry Moseley showed elements in the periodic table should be in order by their atomic number instead of atomic mass.


What radioactive elements are in the periodic table?

This is hard to answer.All elements have radioactive isotopes.Some elements have no known stable isotopes.It might be more instructive to put the periodic table aside and look at a table of nuclides instead. There's a link to one in the Related Links section.


If each orbital had three electrons instead of two then how many valence electrons would oxygen sulfur and selenium have?

Ultimately, the number of electrons would not change, however, the position of elements of the periodic table according to their respective quantizied energy levels would change. For instance, on the periodic table one sharp would have hydrogen helium and lithum, proceeded by two sharp with beryllium, boron and carbon. Two principle would contain nitrogen, oxygen and flouride. This would merely be an assumption.

Why elements are called transition?

Transition elements are called transition elements because the electrons in these elements are not in process of filling valence(outermost ) shell instead they are, in case of d-block elements, in process of filling penultimate shell. and in case of f- block elements, electrons are in process of filling next to the penultimate shell.


Why in the periodic table are elements 57-71 and 89-103 under the table instead of inside the table itself?

In a true periodic table, those two series would actually be inserted between Ba and Lu and between Ra and Lr. These elements have separate properties than others in the periodic table, and adding them directly in their place (instead of just separating them) would disrupt the classical group numbering system, make the periodic table ridiculously long, and just plain make it even harder to understand.


Mendeleev arranged the elements in his periodic table in order of?

Mendeleev arranged the elements by increasing atomic mass instead of like today by increasing atomic number.


What is unique about ionic bonds?

Ionic bonds are unique in that they are strong bonds between a metal and an non-metal in the periodic table. The metal takes the electrons from the non-metal instead of covalent bonds which electrons are shared.


Which two elements on a periodic table be reversed if you used atomic mass?

Tellurium (Te) and iodine (I) would be in reverse order if the elements were placed in order of atomic mass instead of atomic number.
