    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.
