Answer:

Selenium

Explanation:

Oxygen is present in the group sixteen.

This group consist of oxygen, sulfur, selenium, tellurium and polonium.

All of these have same number of valance electrons thus they show similar properties.

From the given list of elements only selenium is belong to oxygen family thus it has properties similar to the oxygen.

Electronic configuration of oxygen:

O = [He] 2s² 2p⁴

Electronic configuration of selenium:

Se = [Ar] 3d¹⁰ 4s² 4p⁴

While aluminium, boron and phosphorus are belongs to other groups that's why their properties are not similar to the phosphorus.

phosphorus is present in group 15.

Boron and aluminium are present in group 13.

1. Why do you think pepper behaved the way it did in this experiment? What do you think that sugar and salt would do?
goblinko [34]

The experiment is related to the demonstration using Pepper. When pepper is spread over water, it clumps together This is because pepper is hydrophobic. When repeated with sugar and salt, they instantly dissolved. This means they are attracted to water. When also sprinkled on the surface of the water, it floats. This is caused by surface tension.

To break the surface tension of water, one can use aeration or the use of chemicals such as soap molecules which contain a long chain of hydrogen as well as carbon atoms.

<h3>What is surface tension?</h3>

Surface tension is the propensity of liquid surfaces at rest to shrink to the smallest feasible surface area. Surface tension permits items with a higher density than water, such as razor blades and insects (such as water striders), to float on the water's surface without being immersed.

A force tensiometer can be used to measure surface tension. The forces exerted on a probe situated at the liquid-gas or liquid-liquid interface are measured by these devices.
