Why are there empty spaces in the rows on the periodic table?(1 point)
Responses
So that elements with similar masses are right next to each other.
So that elements with similar masses are right next to each other.
Because elements of the same size are found in the same rows.
Because elements of the same size are found in the same rows.

Here are the answers to your questions:
1. **Why are there empty spaces in the rows on the periodic table?**
- **Correct Response:** So that elements with similar properties are aligned in the same column.
The periodic table is structured to group elements with similar chemical properties in columns (groups), which leads to some gaps as not all elements fit into this systematic arrangement.
2. **How are elements arranged on the periodic table?**
- **Correct Response:** They are arranged to highlight similarities between different elements.
Elements in the periodic table are organized by increasing atomic number and grouped together based on their chemical properties, which reflects their similarities.
3. **Lithium has 3 protons, 4 neutrons, and 3 electrons. An element with which of these particles would have properties most similar to lithium?**
- **Correct Response:** An element with 11 protons, 11 neutrons, and 11 electrons.
The atom with 11 protons is sodium, which is in the same group (alkali metals) as lithium, and therefore will have similar chemical properties despite having a different number of neutrons and electrons.
