Question

Each element on the periodic table has a unique set of properties: Metal vs nonmetal; number of protons; atomic mass; number of valence electrons, type of bond it usually forms.
Use the periodic table (Periodic Table) to help you answer the following question.

Which answer below is an accurate list of properties for Bromine?

Question 28 options:

Noble Gas, 17 valence electrons, usually forms covalent bonds with other nonmetals


35 protons, 7 valence electrons, usually forms ionic bonds with group 1 or 2 metals


Metal, non-reactive full outer shell, 8 valence electrons


Nonmetal, 7 valence electrons, can make up to 7 bonds

Answer 1

The periodic table arranges elements in increasing
atomic number from left to right and top to bottom.
Horizontal rows on the periodic table are periods.
Elements in the same period have the same number of
electron shells.
Vertical columns on the periodic table are groups.
Elements in the same group have the same number of
valence electrons.
