Why the elements of the second row (first short period) show a number of differences in properties from other members of their respective families?
The differences in the properties of the first member of a group from those of the other members are due to
(i) the smaller size of atom.
(ii) presence of one inner shell of two electrons and
(iii) absence of d – orbitals.
