Question

Show what the periodic table would look like if the order were regular; This is, if the order were 1s<2s<3s<3p<3d<4s and so on?

Answer 1

This is a typical periodic table with 1s orbital filled in alkali metal, 2s in alkaline earth metals and so on. The periodic table would thus be,

A typical periodic table with s group wherein, the valence shell is s -orbital

p group wherein, the valence shell is p-orbital

d-group wherein the valence shell is d -orbital

In the first row, 1s orbital is filled, only two electrons occupancy gives two elements.

In the second 2s and 2p orbitals with an occupancy of total 16 electrons (2s2 and 2p6) gives 8 elements.

and so on.
