(2) three fewer valence electrons is your answer.
Explanation:
The periodic table is a table that arranges elements based on their atomic numbers into groups and periods.
The groups are the vertical arrangement of elements. All elements in a group share similar chemical properties because they have the same number of elements in their valence shell. The periodic table groups are:
Group Other names
1A or 1 Alkali metals
IIA or 2 Alkaline earth metals
IIIA or 3 Boron family
VIA or 6 Chalcogens
VIIA or 17 Halogens
O-18 Inert elements
IIIB-IIB Transition elements
There are 18 vertical columns divided into 8 tall groups or main groups which are 1A to O. The short groups or subgroups are from numerals 1B to VIII.
The periodic table can be divided into four blocks based on the type of sublevels their valence electrons occupy.
- Group IA and IIA constitute the s-block
- Group IIIA to O constitute the p-block
- The transition elements makes up the d-block
- The lanthanides and actinides makes up the f-block

Explanation:
The order of boiling point depends upon the type of interactions present between the molecules.
Potassium fluoride (KF) is an ionic compound and the opposite ions are held together by strong electrostatic forces.
is a covalent compound and the molecules are held together by weak van der Waals' forces.
Formaldehyde is a polar compound due to presence of polar carbonyl group. Hence dipole-dipole force is present between formaldehyde molecules.
Thus the decreasing order of boiling point is:

I believe that when a nucleus undergoes a nuclear decay by gamma rays the atomic number of element remains the same. Atomic number is the number of protons of a given atom of an element. Gamma decay unlike alpha and beta decay does not have an effect on the mass number and atomic number of an atom.
