Question 2
A)
Use the periodic table to answer the question.

An illustration shows the periodic table of elements. The elements in the periodic table are arranged in groups (columns numbered 1 through 18) and periods (rows numbered 1 through 7) such that the atomic number increases along a period from left to right. The elements are divided into the following categories: · Alkali metals · Alkaline earth metals · Transition metals · Post-transition metals · Lanthanides · Actinides · Metalloids · Nonmetals · Noble gases · Unknown The elements are also classified on the basis of their physical states as follows: · Solid · Liquid · Gas · Unknown The element sulfur is enlarged with the following properties. · Chemical symbol: S · Name: Sulfur · Atomic Number: 16 · Atomic mass: 32.06 · Common oxidation states: 6, 4, 2, negative 2 · Electronegativity: 2.58 · Ionization energies: 999.589 · Electron configuration: [Ne] 3s2 3p4

Answers

Answered by GPT-4o mini
Here are the correct answers to your questions:

**Question 1:**
A) **Which property do the elements in each column of the representative elements series of the periodic table have in common?**
- **Response:** **number of valence electrons**

**Question 2:**
A) **Which element has six valence electrons?**
- **Response:** **sulfur (S)** (None of the provided answers were correct based on the question statement; the correct response would be sulfur, but since it's not listed, the closest would be oxygen (O) which has 6 in its outermost shell.)

**Question 3:**
A) **Which of the following defines the atomic number of an atom?**
- **Response:** **the number of protons**

**Question 4:**
A) **Potassium’s atomic number is 19, and its atomic mass is approximately 39. How many neutrons does potassium have?**
- **Response:** **20** (Calculated as Atomic mass - Atomic number = 39 - 19 = 20)

**Question 5:**
A) **Which element does not have the same number of electrons in its outermost shell as the other elements in its group?**
- **Response:** **hydrogen (H)** (Hydrogen is in group 1 but only has one electron, while all other alkali metals have one electron in their outer shell too, but this question can depend on the specific group being referenced.)
