Questions and Answers

What is the primary factor that determines the length of periods in the periodic table?

  • Arrangement of electrons in different orbits (correct)
  • Atomic weight of the elements
  • Similar properties of elements
  • Number of electrons in the outermost orbit

Why does hydrogen exhibit dual behavior?

  • Due to its ability to gain or lose an electron (correct)
  • Due to its electron configuration
  • Due to its position in the periodic table
  • Due to its atomic weight

What is the significance of the last member of each period being an inert gas?

  • It indicates the start of a new period
  • It explains the dissimilarity with halogens
  • It shows the similarity with alkali metals
