(N/A) The first element of a group differs from the subsequent elements due to its small size,high electronegativity,and the absence of $d$-orbitals in its valence shell. The differences are summarized below:
First element of the group Other elements of the group
Forms covalent compounds. Forms ionic compounds.
Small atomic/ionic size. Larger atomic/ionic size.
High charge/radius ratio. Low charge/radius ratio.
High electronegativity. Low electronegativity.
Only $4$ orbitals available in the valence shell ($s$ and $p$). $9$ orbitals available in the valence shell ($s, p,$ and $d$).
