What property do all elements in the same column of the Periodic Table as boron have in common?
Answer: Boron is metalloid while all other elements in the same column of the Periodic Table are metals, thus metallic character is common in the same column of the periodic table as boron have.What property do all elements in the same column of the Periodic Table as fluorine have in common?
Answer: All elements belong to same column as fluorine, are non-metals and are highly electronegative in character. All of them have valence electrons equal to seven, and thus can accept one electron to complete their octet.An atom has electronic configuration 2, 8, 7. What is the atomic number of this element?

Nitrogen (atomic number 7) and phosphorus (atomic number 15) belong to group 15 of the Periodic Table. Write the electronic configuration of these two elements. Which of these will be more electronegative? Why?
Answer: Nitrogen (7): 2, 5Phosphorus (15): 2, 8, 5Since, electronegativity decreases with moving from top to bottom in a group, thus Nitrogen will be more electronegative.How does the electronic configuration of an atom relate to its position in the Modern Periodic Table?
Answer: Electronic configuration of an element gives the information of valence electrons and number of shell present in the element. We get the information of group number after knowing valence electrons. Number of shells present in an element is equal to period number. Thus, by knowing electronic configuration we know the group number and period number of an element, which is the position of element in periodic table.

Answer: Elements with atomic numbers 12 and 38 have the similar chemical and physical properties of calcium.Compare and contrast the arrangement of elements in Mendeléev’s Periodic Table and the Modern Periodic Table.
Answer: Comparison of Mendeleev’s Periodic Table and Modern Periodic Table
| Mendeleev's Periodic Table | Modern Periodic Table |
|---|---|
| Elements were arranged in increasing order of atomic masses. | Elements are arranged in increasing order of atomic numbers. |
| There are 8 groups. | There are 18 groups. |
| Each group is divided into sub groups a and b. | Groups are not divided into sub groups. |
| Group for noble gases was not present, as noble gases were not discovered at that time. | A separate group, i.e. group 18 is present for noble gases. |
| There was no place for isotopes. | This problem was rectified, as slots are determined on the basis of atomic number. |
