Question

Classify each element as a representative element, transition metal, or inner‑transition metal.

Accepted Answer

Hey everyone. Let's go ahead and practice classifying and identifying each element based on the following classifications. But first let's go ahead and define these. So we have alkali metals. So alkali metals are going to be those elements in our group one A alkaline earth metals are those in our group. To a Nick Pigeons are in our group five A Chalco regions are in our group six, a halogen czar in our group seven A. And noble gasses are in our group ate a. Now for our transition metals. Let's go ahead and look at our periodic table. So looking at our periodic table, our transition metals are going to be those in pink and now our inner transition metals are going to be our land tonight's and our actinides. So our lantern IEDs are going to be these right here and our actinides are going to be the ones directly under them. And our last classification that we have to define is a representative element And that's essentially Any element that is within our group one A 2 a day. So let's go ahead and look at our elements and classify them. So our first one is magnesium and we can see that magnesium is in our group to A. So magnesium is going to be an alkaline earth metal and a representative element. So that's going to be B and I moving on to hydrogen, hydrogen is going to be a representative element which is labeled as I. And even though it's in our group one A. It is not a medal, Going on to chlorine chlorine is one of our religions and it's in our group seven a. So chlorine is going to be a halogen which is represented by E. And also a representative element. Looking at no be liam. Nobile liam is in our inner transition metals which is labeled as H. And it is also one of our representative elements and if we look a little bit more closely no be liam is actually also one of our actinides. So we're going to label this as K as well. Moving on to phosphorus phosphorus is one of our non medals and this one is going to be One of our nitrogen since it's in our group five a. So that's going to be answer choice C. And also a representative element. So C. And I. And lastly looking at iron, iron is one of our medals. So iron is going to be a transition metal and it is also a representative element. So these are going to be our final answers. So I hope that made sense. And let us know if you have any questions
