Answer:
(a) (i) All the elements of a group have similar chemical properties because they have same no. of valence electrons in their outermost shell. (ii) All the elements of a period have different chemical properties because they have different no. of valence electrons in their atoms.
Answer:
A. releases a large amount of heat
Explanation:
A reaction is said to be spontaneous if it can proceed on its own without the addition of external energy. A spontaneous reaction is not determined by the length of time, because some spontaneous reactions are completed after a long period of time. They are exothermic in nature. An example is the conversion of graphite to carbon which takes a long period of time to complete. Spontaneous reactions are known to increase entropy in a system. Entropy is the rate of disorder in a system.
In the combustion of fire, energy is released to the surroundings as there is a decrease in energy. This is an example of a spontaneous reaction because it is an exothermic reaction, which causes an increase in entropy and a decrease in energy.
The last set which is n=4 l=3 m=3 is a valid set
