c. B can lose 1 electron to become stable, therefore its valency is
equal to 1.

mass.
c. State modern periodic law.
Ans : [CBSE 2018]
(a)
Dobereiner Periodic Table
Advantage: It could predict the atomic mass of middle elements quite
correctly. Limitations: He could identify only three triads of elements.
Newlands Periodic Table
Advantage: Every eight element had properties similar to the first if
elements are arranged in increasing order of atomic mass.
Limitations: It was applicable only upto calcium only. No future
elements could fit into it.
Mendeleev’s Periodic Table
Advantage: He could classify all the elements discovered at that time
into groups and periods.He also predicted the existence of new
elements which were not discovered at time.
Limitations: No fixed position of hydrogen. Position of isotopes could
not be sorted out.
(b) Moseley:
Properties of elements are a periodic function of their atomic
numbers.
22.Name the element which has
a. the electronic configuration 2, 8, 1.

b. a total of two shells, with 4 electrons in the valence shell.
