Lanthanides and Actinides Unveiled in the Periodic Table

The video tutorial explores lanthanides and actinides, highlighting their position in the periodic table and unique electron configurations. It explains the relationship between group numbers and valence shells, particularly for non-metallic elements, and discusses the valency and charge of these elements. The tutorial concludes with a summary of periodic trends and classifications.

Where are the lanthanides and actinides located in the periodic table?

• Below the main table

• In the middle of the table

• Above the main table

• On the left side of the table

What is the range of electron increase in the fourth and fifth shells for lanthanides and actinides?

• 15 to 30

• 18 to 32

• 10 to 20

• 20 to 40

How do lanthanides and actinides relate to transitional metals?

• They are not related

• They follow the same pattern

• They follow a different pattern

• They have fewer electrons

What defines the group number for elements in the main block?

• Number of electrons in the valence shell

• Number of neutrons

• Number of protons

• Atomic mass

How many electrons do group seven elements have in their valence shell?

• Six

• Eight

• Five

• Seven

What is the normal valency of non-metallic elements in group seven for ionic compounds?

• Minus seven

• Minus one

• Plus seven

• Plus one

Why is it difficult for group seven elements to give away seven electrons?

• They are non-reactive

• It requires too much energy

• They have a stable configuration

• They have a high atomic mass

What happens when group seven elements take in one electron?

• They lose energy

• They become negatively charged

• They become neutral

• They become positively charged
