Classification of Elements and Periodicity in Properties
Which of the following species will have the largest and the smallest size?
Mg, Mg2+, Al, Al3+.
Atomic radii decrease across a period, cations are smaller than their parent atoms. Among isoelectronic ions, the one with the larger positive nuclear charge will have a smaller radius.
Hence the largest species is Mg and the smallest one is Al3+ .

What are the advantages of periodic classification of elements?
In the modern periodic table, the period indicates the value of:
(a) atomic number
(b) atomic mass
(c) principal quantum number
(d) azimuthal quantum number.
Which of the following statements related to the modern periodic table is incorrect?
(a) The p-block has 6 columns, because a maximum of 6 electrons can occupy all the orbitals in a p-shell.
(b) The d-block has 8 columns, because a maximum of 8 electrons can occupy all the orbitals in a d-subshell.
(c) Each block contains a number of columns equal to the number of electrons that can occupy that subshell.
(d) The block indicates value of azimuthal quantum number (l) for the last subshell that received electrons in building up the electronic configuration.
