Answer:
Elements having same valence electrons are placed in <u>same group.</u>
Explanation:
First, let's start with some basic concepts of modern periodic table:
1. Modern Periodic table : It is the arrangement of element in the increasing order of their atomic numbers
The Modern periodic table is divided into Periods and groups .
Periods : These are the horizontal rows. There are seven periods in the periodic table . Period 1 has 2 element. Period two and three has 8 elements , period 4 and 5 have 18 elements and the period 6 and 7 have 32 elements.
Same period have same number of atomic orbital(Shell)
Group : The group is the vertical columns . There are 18 groups in the modern periodic table.Those element which have same group number will also have same number of electron in their outermost shell. The number of electron in the outermost shell determines the valency of the element.
So, elements showing same valency are placed in same group.
All alkali are place in group 1 and have 1 valance electron in the outermost shell
To determine the molar mass, you need to get the atomic mass of the molecule. To do this, check the periodic table for the atomic mass or average atomic weight of each element.
Mg = 24.305 x 1 = 24.305 amu
O = 15.9994 x 2 =31.9988 amu
H = 1.0079 x 2 = 2.0158 amu
Then, add all the components to get the atomic mass of the molecule.
24.305 amu + 31.9988 amu + 2.0158 amu = 58.3196 amu
The atomic mass is just equivalent to its molar mass.
So, the molar mass of Magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2) is 58.3196 g/mol.
If you mean what group of elements react the most, the answer is the alkali metals and the halogens because they both only either need to gain or lose one electron. If you mean the most reactive element, it would be fluorine because it has the most electronegativity.
