Here are the answers for your questions:

**Question 7**
The modern day periodic table is organized by:
**b. Number of Protons**
(The periodic table is organized based on atomic number, which corresponds to the number of protons in an atom.)

---

**Question 8**
Two of the most unique elements on the periodic table are hydrogen and helium. What makes them so unique and removed from the other groups on the periodic table?
**c. Unlike all other elements, hydrogen and helium only have a maximum of 2 valence electrons**
(Hydrogen has 1 valence electron and helium has 2; this is unique compared to most other elements, particularly those in the groups.)

**Question 9**
The periodic table groups elements into which of the following three categories?
**d. Metals, Nonmetals, Metalloids**
(This is the most widely accepted classification of elements on the periodic table.)

**Question 10**
Which of the following are most likely to form a stable ionic bond?
**b. Lithium (Period IA) and Fluorine (Period VIIA)**
(Lithium, a metal, can readily lose an electron to become Li+, and fluorine, a nonmetal, can gain an electron to become F-, resulting in a stable ionic bond.)
