You can answer this question by only searching the element in the periodic table.
The atomic number of iodine, I, is 53. It is placed in the column 17 (this is the Group) and row 5 (this is the Period).
The conclusion is that the iodine is located in Period 5, Group 17, and is classified as a nonmetal.

Full question options;
(Fe, Pb, Mg, or Ca)
Answer:
Iron - Fe
Explanation:
We understand tht metals pretty much form bonds by losing their valence (outermost electrons). But this question specifically asks for metals that lose beyond their outermost electrons; next to outermost principal energy levels.
Pb, Mg, and Ca only lose their outermost electrons to form the following ions;
Pb2+, Mg2+, and Ca2+.
This is because their ions have achieved a stable octet configuration - the dreamland of atoms where they are satisfied and don't need to go into reactions again.
Iron on the other hand has the following electronic configurations;
Fe: [Ar]4s2 3d6
Fe2+: [Ar]4s0 3d6
Fe3+: [Ar]4s0 3d5
This means ion can lose both the ooutermost electrons (4s) and next to outermost principal energy levels (3d). So correct option is Iron.
Answer:
d:more dense and falls
Explanation:
warm air Rises around cold air bc of its lower density. and when you have a lower density fluid or sum the lower density fluid rises and the higher density falls
