Let's address each question step-by-step:
Question 1: Identify each type of information in the box.
- Drop target 1: Element Symbol (e.g., H for Hydrogen, O for Oxygen)
- Drop target 2: Element Name (the full name of the element, e.g., Hydrogen, Oxygen)
- Drop target 3: Atomic Number (the number that represents the element's position in the periodic table)
- Drop target 4: Atomic Mass (the average mass of the atom, usually found under the element symbol)
(Note: The specific answers may depend on the content of the box in your original prompt.)
Question 2: Complete the paragraph.
The circled column labeled with "1" is called a group. There are 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 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: Determine the two MOST similar elements according to their placement in the table.
The two MOST similar elements based on their placement in the periodic table would be:
Li (Lithium) & Be (Beryllium)
They are in the same group (alkali metals for Lithium and alkaline earth metals for Beryllium) and close together, which means they have similar properties.
If you have further options or a specific periodic table to analyze, let me know!
