Q

What does the group number represent?

A

The number of valence electrons overall

E.g. Ti = group 4, 4e overall ([Ar] 3d2 4s2)

2
Q

What does the period represent?

A

Period = the s orbital number

Period number-1 = the d orbital number

period number-2 = the f orbital number (if applicable)

E.g. Ti = period 4 so [noble gas in period above] 4s, 3d
