Question

The group number of the element with atomic number 96 is 3. If true enter 1 else enter 0.

Answer 1

Hint: According to the modern periodic table there are 18 groups in the table and groups are vertically arranged in columns sincerely, and these groups contain a range atom with particular atomic number.

Step by step answer: In the given question we have to find out the group for the given atomic number.
Given that, Atomic Number $ = 3$
Group number for element with atomic number $96 = 3$

It is true that an element with atomic number 96 belongs to the third group, and reason for this is as follow:

1.Curium is the element whose atomic number is 96, and it is present in the actinide series.

2.Actinide series is made up from those elements whose atomic number ranges from 89 to 103.

3.As curium has atomic number 96, so surely it is present in the actinide series.

4.Actinide series is located underneath in the group 3 of the periodic table.


Note: Here you may get confused when you have no knowledge about the periodic table, groups and periods, because most of the time many people will confuse between the arrangement of groups and periods in the table.
