Here's the information you need for each question:

Question 1: You are requested to correctly identify each type of information about an element box, but since specific terms or labels were not provided, here are the typical components of an element's box on the Periodic Table:

  • Element Symbol
  • Atomic Number
  • Atomic Mass
  • Element Name

(Note: If you have specific terms to drag and drop, please provide them for precise identification.)


Question 2: Complete the paragraph:

The circled column labeled with "1" is called a group. There are 18 groups/families on the Periodic Table of Elements. Elements in the same group on the Periodic Table are similar because they have the same number of valence electrons. This also means they have similar chemical properties. The circled row labeled "2" is called a period. There are 7 periods on the table. Elements in the same period are similar because they have the same number of energy levels or electron shells.


Question 3: The two MOST similar elements according to their placement in the table would be:

Li (Lithium) & Be (Beryllium)

This is because they are both in Group 1 (alkali metals) and Group 2 (alkaline earth metals), respectively, which makes them more similar than those in different groups like carbon and oxygen or manganese and calcium.

If you have any specific terms or elements you'd like to work with, please let me know!
