NEETChemistryClassification of Elements and Periodicity in Properties
How are successive Periods in the Periodic Table associated with principal energy levels?
Options
- AThey are not associated with energy levels.
- BEach period is associated with the same energy level.
- CEach period is associated with the filling of the next higher principal energy level.
- DEach period is associated with a random energy level.
Correct answer
C. Each period is associated with the filling of the next higher principal energy level.
Step-by-step solution
Successive period in the Periodic Table is associated with the filling of the next higher principal energy level (n = 1, n = 2, etc.).
