(((a))) PREDICTION of PERIOD
=======================
In the electronic configuration of an atom , the principal quantum number of valance electron represents the PERIOD of the element .
example :- Ca ( atomic no = 20 )
configuration of Ca : 1s², 2s² , 2p^6 , 3s² , 3p^6, 4s² .
valance electrons = 2 { in 4S }
Principal Quantum no = 4
hence, period of Ca is 4th
PREDICTION of GROUP
======================
The orbital { S, P , d , or f } which receives the last electton represents the block of the element.
➡ The group of the element is predicted from the block of the elements as : -
(1) if the element belongs to S - block , it's group number is equal to the number of valance electrons .
(2) if the element belongs to P -block ,
Group number = 10 + number of valance electrons
= 10 +nS electrons + nP electrons
(3) if the elements belongs to d -block ,
Group number = number of electrons in (n -1)d subshell + number of electrons in nS subshell .
(4) if the element belong to f - subshell , group number is always 3 .
