Elements in the same period in the periodic table have the same?

A.

number of shells

B.

atomic number

C.

chemical properties

D.

physical properties

Correct answer is A

Elements within the same group have the same number of electrons in their valence (outermost) shells, and they have similar electron configurations. They exhibit similar chemical properties.

But elements in the same period can determined by the same number of shells.

The maximum number of electrons in the L shell of an atom is?

A.

2

B.

8

C.

18

D.

32

Correct answer is B

The maximum number of electrons present in a particular shell is calculated by the formula 2n2, where “n” represents the shell number. For instance, K shell is the first shell and it can hold up to 2(1)2 = 2 electrons. Similarly, L shell is the second shell and it can hold up to 2(2)2 = 8 electrons.
