The family of elements characterized by an ns2 np5 valence configuration is the halogen family. Halogens are the elements found in Group 17 of the Periodic Table and include fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine. They have seven valence electrons, with two in the s orbital and five in the p orbital.
Elements in the same group or family of the periodic table have the same number of valence electrons, which gives them similar chemical properties. This similarity in valence electron configuration allows them to react in similar ways with other elements.
The halogen family elements have 7 valence electrons. This is because they have 7 electrons in their outermost energy level.
The element with configuration sĀ² pĀ³ is nitrogen (N).
All elements in neon's family (Group 18/Noble Gases) have 8 valence electrons, except for helium which has 2 valence electrons. This full valence shell makes them stable and unreactive.
Elements in a group or family have similar properties because they have the same number of valence electrons, which determines their chemical reactivity and behavior. This similarity is due to their position in the periodic table, as elements within the same group have the same outer electron configuration.
Valence shell configuration and physical and chemical properties.
Elements in the same group or family of the periodic table have the same number of valence electrons, which gives them similar chemical properties. This similarity in valence electron configuration allows them to react in similar ways with other elements.
Elements in the same family (or group) have the number of valence electrons in common. Ex: Family 16 - 6 valence electrons.properties
The halogen family elements have 7 valence electrons. This is because they have 7 electrons in their outermost energy level.
Elements in the same family of the periodic table have the same number of valence electrons. For light elements this amounts to the same electron configuration, but for heavier elements this is not necessarily the case, e.g. Ni: [Ar]4d8 5s2 ; Pd: [Kr] 5d10 ; Pt: [Xe] 6d9 7s1 .However the whole underlying reason for the periodic law involves the number of valence electrons, and this is expressed in the periodic table.
The family of elements that has 4 valence electrons is the carbon family, which includes carbon (C), silicon (Si), germanium (Ge), tin (Sn), and lead (Pb). These elements are located in Group 14 of the periodic table.
The element with configuration sĀ² pĀ³ is nitrogen (N).
All elements in neon's family (Group 18/Noble Gases) have 8 valence electrons, except for helium which has 2 valence electrons. This full valence shell makes them stable and unreactive.
Elements in a group or family have similar properties because they have the same number of valence electrons, which determines their chemical reactivity and behavior. This similarity is due to their position in the periodic table, as elements within the same group have the same outer electron configuration.
