C. fluid
is the correct answer
Answer: I believe this is the answer: The vertical columns on the periodic table are called groups or families because of their similar chemical behavior. All the members of a family of elements have the same number of valence electrons and similar chemical properties. The horizontal rows on the periodic table are called periods.
Good luck on assignment! :)
Answer:
8

H: Ignoring the coefficient, we know there's 5+3=8 atoms
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
