Solution

Modern periodic table:

  • The modern periodic law states that the periodicity of elements is a function of their atomic numbers.
  • Its basic structure is based on the electronic configuration of atoms of different elements consisting of groups and periods.
  • The electronic configuration of an element can be used to determine the location of that element in the periodic table.
  • The number of valence electrons determines the group and the number of shells determines the period.

For example the configuration of Li is = 1s22s1

  • This shows that the element Lithium belongs to the 2nd period and 1st group in the Periodic Table.
