(a)
Interpretation:
The period 2 element that is a halogen has to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Periodic law states that if the elements are arranged in increasing order of
Location of an element in a periodic table can be given by the period number and the group number. The horizontal row in a periodic table where the elements are present is known as Period. The vertical column in a periodic table where the elements are present is known as Group.
(b)
Interpretation:
The period 2 element that is an alkaline earth metal has to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Periodic law states that if the elements are arranged in increasing order of atomic number, then the elements with similar chemical properties occur at regular intervals or periodic intervals. The elements are arranged in a periodic table in which the arrangement was based on the atomic number of the elements and the elements that have similar chemical properties are positioned in vertical columns.
Location of an element in a periodic table can be given by the period number and the group number. The horizontal row in a periodic table where the elements are present is known as Period. The vertical column in a periodic table where the elements are present is known as Group.

- List five nonmetallic elements that exist as gaseous substances under ordinary conditions. Do any metallic elements ordinarily occur as gases?arrow_forwardA fundamental idea of Daltons atomic theory is that atoms of an element can be neither created nor destroyed. We now know that this is not always true. Specifically, it is not true for uranium and lead atoms as they appear in nature. Are the numbers of these atoms increasing or decreasing? Explain.arrow_forwardCopper (Cu) has an atomic number of 29 and a mass number of 64. One copper atom, therefore, has how many protons? a.27 b.29 c.31 d.35arrow_forward
- Certain elements have special affinities for other elements. This causes them to bind together in special ways to form .arrow_forwardThe atomic mass of lithium on a periodic table is 6.94u. Lithium has two natural isotopes with atomic masses of 6.10512u and 7.01600u. Calculate the percentage distribution between the two isotopes. Pure lithium is composed of two isotopes.arrow_forwardYour friend tells you about an article that he read in a tabloid that reported the discovery of a new form of carbon containing eight protons in the nucleus of its atoms. He claims that scientists are eager to explore the properties of this new form of carbon. What is wrong with the tabloid's claim? a. Nothing. The claim is believable. b. The claim must be false because an atom with eight protons would be oxygen, which is already known. c. The claim must be false because all forms of carbon are already known.arrow_forward
- Complete the following table. Atom/Ion Protons Neutrons Electrons S50120n M1225g2+ F2656e2+ S3479e C1735l C2963uarrow_forwardThe chemical name for limestone, a compound of calcium, carbon, and oxygen, is calcium carbonate. When heated, limestone decomposes into solid calcium oxide and gaseous carbon dioxide. From the names of the products, tell where you might find the atoms of each element after the reaction. How does Daltons atomic theory explain this?arrow_forwardWrite isotope symbols for neutral atoms with the following characteristics: a. Contain 17 electrons and 20 neutrons b. A copper atom with a mass number of 65 c. A zinc atom that contains 36 neutronsarrow_forward
