When we move ...

Question

When we move down a group a shell is added inspite of that the fourth and fifth period both have 18 elements each why?

Solution

The number of elements in each period depends on the number of subshells that is s , p, d and f .
In fourth and fifth period subshells involved are s, p and d .
Number of orbitals of s subshell = 1
Number of orbitals of p subshell =3
Number of orbitals of d subshell =5
Total number of orbitals = 9
Total number of elements = 18 which is twice the total number of orbitals.

Q. Assertion :Atomic size decreases across period but increases down a group of the periodic table. Reason: Moving from left to right across a period, electrons are added one at a time to the outer energy shell. Electrons within a shell cannot shield each other from the attraction to protons, while moving down a group in the periodic table, the number of electrons and filled electron shells increases.
