What is the vertical groups on the periodic table and the elements bonding power based on?

Vertical groups are families. Bonding power is based upon the type of bond, the position of element in periodic table.


What part of the electron configuration of an element corresponds to the periodic of element?

Well, giving the example of Bromine (1s22s22p63s23p64s23d104p5) the s orbitals (represented by the letter s) are the first two groups/families (1-2) with the exception of helium, the p orbitals (represented by the letter p) are the last six groups/families (13-18), and the d orbitals (represented by the letter d) are the transition metals (3-12). Not included in bromine are the f orbitals (elements 57-70 and 89-102)


What element has a similar chemical propertie to Mercury?

The element cadmium is above mercury in the periodic table. And above cadmium is the element zinc. They're similar. Use the link below to see the Wikipedia periodic table. It's an interactive table, and each element is a link to the Wikipedia post on that element. Bookmark this table, friends. It's a great homework and reference tool!Those two elements (Cd and Zn) are similar to Hg because they are in the same group/family. Elements that are grouped into families are done so because they are have similar characteristics.

How does the location of semiconductors on the periodic table differ from the locations of other element families?

Semiconductors are located in groups 13-16 of the periodic table, which is different from the location of other element families like metals and nonmetals. Semiconductors have an intermediate conductivity compared to metals and nonmetals, making them important for electronics. Their position on the periodic table gives them unique properties related to their electronic structure and bonding abilities.
