D. I or Iodine

This is because they are both in the same periodic family (the halogens) and thus the number of valence electrons are the same

Answer: (4) I (iodine)

Explanation:

Reactivity of elements follow a trend in such a manner that elements in the same group have similar chemical properties since they react in similar ways during chemical reaction. This similarity is as a result of the same number of valence electrons they have in their respective outer shell. This particular similarity is what classifies them into groups.

In this question, Chlorine is in the same group with Iodine and they're referred to as "halogens" and all halogen have similar chemical reactions. Example, they seek one valence electron to be stable. Easy formation of salts with metals etc

What properties of metals are explained by its mobile electrons? Strength, malleability, ductility, heat conduction, current con
earnstyle [38]

Due to the presence of mobile or moving electrons in an atom they are good conductor of heat and electricity. Thus, the heat conduction and current conduction properties of metals are explained by its mobile electrons.

The other mentioned properties of metal are strength which can be explained by type of bonding within the metals, malleability explains the tendency of metals to be flattened into thin sheets, ductility explains the tendency to be stretched into wires, luster means the surface of metal is shiny and opacity is measure of impermeability that is to what extent they can pass light through them, metals are opaque, can not pass light through them or they are not transparent . All these properties are not because of mobile electrons in metals.

Therefore, correct properties are heat conduction and current conduction.
