What is long form of the periodic table? Discuss in brief its salient structural features.
What are the advantages of classifying the elements into s, p, d and f-block elements?
Which element do you think would have been named by:
(i) Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory
(ii) Seaborg's group?
i) Lawrencium (Lr) with Z = 103 is an actinide which involves the filling of 5f orbital andBerkelium (Bk) with Z = 97 is an actinide which involves the filling of 5f orbital (both of them are f block elements).
ii) Seaborgium (Sg) with Z = 106 is a d- block element present in 7th period & 6th column of periodic table.
