Solution

  1. The groups extend from top to bottom in a vertical column. The atomic number (Z) increases along a group.
  2. The number of shells increases along a group and due to this the size of elements increases.
  3. The element having larger size will have a larger atomic radius and hence large atomic number.
  4. So, the order of increasing atomic number of the elements of group I will be: X<Z<Y.
