(1 point)
Responses

They are both inert.
They are both inert.

They have the same number of electron shells.
They have the same number of electron shells.

They have the same number of valence electrons.
They have the same number of valence electrons.

They are both classified as halogens.

The correct statement about nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) is: They have the same number of valence electrons.

Both nitrogen and phosphorus are in Group 15 of the periodic table and have five valence electrons.

Neon and argon are both in Group 18 of the periodic table, and they most likely share the property of low or no reactivity. These elements are known as noble gases, which are characterized by their lack of chemical reactivity.

A scientist studies an element that has seven electrons in its outer shell, is fairly toxic, is a gas at room temperature, and is highly reactive. To which group of the periodic table does this element belong?(1 point)
