Answer 1

The elements on the periodic table are organized by atomic number, atomic symbol, and atomic mass. The elements are not organized alphabetically.

FALSE. There are more metals than nonmetals on the periodic table.

The statement that is true about valence electrons and the periodic table is: The number of valence electrons increases from top to bottom within each group.

Elements with the most valence electrons are not specifically in group 18, as there are elements with different numbers of valence electrons in other groups as well.
