Concept explainers
The six elements in blue at the far right of the periodic table are gases at room temperature. The red elements in the middle of the table are the so-called coinage metals. Identify each of these elements using the periodic table inside the front cover of this book.
Interpretation:
The boxes that are highlighted red in colour has to be identified from the periodic table.
Concept Introduction:
Periodic table: It is arrangement of the chemical elements, ordered by their atomic number, electronic configuration and recurring chemical properties, whose structure shows periodic trends, than all elements present usually in rows, so that elements with similar atomic structure appear in vertical columns.
Answer to Problem 1.26UKC
The blue color indicated are Noble Gas family and the elements are Helium
Red color indicated in periodic table is the coinage metals namely, copper
Explanation of Solution
Let us consider the given statement of periodic table.
Above periodic table, and corresponding blue color indicated by Noble gas elements like Helium
Red color indicated in the periodic table is the coinage metals namely, copper
The elements were identified given the periodic table with respective colors.

- Another major use of bismuth has been as an ingredient in low-melting metal alloys, such as those used in firesprinkler systems and in typesetting. The element itself is a brittle white crystalline solid. How do these characteristicsfit with the fact that bismuth is in the same periodic group with such nonmetallic elements as nitrogenand phosphorus?arrow_forwardThe specific gravity of the following compounds are: Ether – 0.715; Bromine - 3.016; Glycerin – 1.25; and Chloroform - 1.476.

What is the empirical formula for this compound?arrow_forwardPolonium is a rare element with 33 radioisotopes. The most common one, 210Po, has 82 protons and 128 neutrons. When 210Po decays, it emits an alpha particle, which is a helium nucleus (2 protons and 2 neutrons). 210Po decay is tricky to detect because alpha particles do not carry very much energy compared to other forms of radiation. For example, they can be stopped by a single sheet of paper or a few inches of air. That is one reason that authorities failed to discover toxic amounts of 210Po in the body of former KGB agent Alexander Litvinenko until after he died suddenly and mysteriously in 2006. What element does an atom of 210Po become after it emits an alpha particle?arrow_forward
