Study Notes

Down the Group

  • The valency of elements in a group remains constant because they have the same valence electrons.
  • The group number can be used to determine the valency of an element.

Valency of Elements in Different Groups

  • Group 1 elements have a valency of 1, which means they lose one electron to achieve stability.
  • Group 2 elements have a valency of 2, which means they lose two electrons to achieve stability.
  • Group 13 elements have a valency of 3, which means they lose three electrons to achieve stability.
  • Group 14 elements have a valency of 4, which means they share four electrons to achieve stability.
  • Group 15 elements have a valency of 3, which means they gain three electrons to achieve stability.
  • Group 16 elements have a valency of 2, which means they gain two electrons to achieve stability.
  • Group 17 elements have a valency of 1, which means they gain one electron to achieve stability.
  • Group 18 elements have a valency of 0, which means they neither gain nor lose electrons to achieve stability.

Atomic Size

  • Atomic size is measured in terms of atomic radius.
  • Atomic radius is the distance between the centre of a nucleus and the outermost shell.
  • Atomic radius is measured in picometres (pm), with 1 pm equal to 10^-12 meters.
