Answer:
The number of protons you welcome
Explanation:
Group 17 is the most readily reduced elements on the periodic table, meaning that they are so close to being a stable elements, only missing 1 electron to complete their valance electron shell. Thus they will essentially react with anything to get that last electron!
Group 1 elements are extremely reactive because they are the most readily oxidized, they are very close to reaching stability by giving up only 1 electron. Thus they will react with almost anything to give up their electron.

Answer:
A. Occur in gaseous and liquid state
Explanation:
The choice that is not a characteristic of minerals is that minerals occur in gaseous and liquid state.
All minerals are solid inorganic compounds.
- A mineral is an inorganic compound that is formed naturally.
- They have a definite and specific chemical composition.
- Minerals are the building blocks of rocks.
- When minerals aggregates together, they form different rock types.
- There is no known mineral that is in fluid state.
- All minerals are solids.
- Examples are quartz, kaolinite, gypsum e.t.c
The more protons you add, the more positively charged the atom becomes
the charge of an atom determines what kind of an atom it is <span />
