Hi!
Electrons are particles which basically 'orbit' around the nucleus. Protons and neutrons are condensed, in a fixed position inside the nucleus.
With this in mind, the answer will be C.
Hopefully, this helps! =)
You can get the answer on quizlet or google
In the physical properties, it is mentioned that the element has 4 valence electrons. The elements in the periodic table are arranged such that, the number of valence electrons present in the neutral atoms belonging to a particular group is equal to the group number.
Thus, the unidentified element can be best classified as a nonmetal in period 4
Ans C)
