- 2-59 You are presented with a Lewis dot structure of element X as X.. To which two groups in the Periodic Table might this element belong?arrow_forward2-47 Which element in each pair is more metallic? (a) Silicon or aluminum (b) Arsenic or phosphorus (c) Gallium or germanium (d) Gallium or aluminumarrow_forward2-69 (Chemical Connections 2A) Why does the body need sulfur, calcium, and iron?arrow_forward
- 28. (a) In Figure P7.7, which sphere could represent a Na atom, Nation, and K atom? Provide an explanation for your choice. (b) In Figure P7.7, which sphere could represent an O atom, S atom, and S2- ion? Provide an explanation for your choice. FIGURE P7.7 (b) (c)arrow_forwardThe most common isotope of oxygen has a mass number of 16, but two other isotopes having mass numbers of 17 and 18 are also known. For each isotope, give the following information: (a) the number of protons; (b) the number of neutrons; (c) the number of electrons in the neutral atom; (d) the group number; (e) the element symbol using superscripts and subscripts.arrow_forward1a. Which ions have the same number of electrons as an atom of argon? (a) S2- (b) P3- (c) Be2+ (d) Ca2+ 1b. Which ions have the same number of electrons as an atom of krypton? (a) Se2- (b) As3- (c) Ca2+ (d) K+arrow_forward
- vi. Answer true or false. (a) Elements in the same column of the Periodic Table have the same outer-shell electron configuration. (b) All Group 1A elements have one electron in their valence shell. (c) All Group 6A elements have six electrons in their valence shell. (d) All Group 8A elements have eight electrons in their valence shell. (e) Period 1 of the Periodic Table has one element, period 2 has two elements, period 3 has three elements, and so forth. (1) Period 2 results from filling the 2s and 2p orbitals and, therefore, there are eight elements in period 2. (g) Period 3 results from filling the 3s, 3p, and 3d orbitals and, therefore, there are nine elements in period 3. (h) The main-group elements are s block and p block elements.arrow_forwardIdentify the element with each atomic number, and give the number of protons and electrons in the neutral atom: (a) 2; (b) 11; (c) 20; (d) 47; (e) 78.arrow_forward66. Which element do you expect to be most like magnesium? Why?(a) potassium(b) silver(c) bromine(d) calcium(e) leadarrow_forward
