Silicon, Arsenic, and Tellurium all sit on the metal/nonmetal boundary

Magnesium, Strontium, and Barium are in the same group (Group 2)

Nitrogen, Oxygen, and Flourine are all non-metals in the same period

Calcium, Caesium, and Copper start with the same letter

So (3) Mg, Sr and Ba is the correct answer

Elements in the same group have simimlar chemical properties due to their identical valence electron shells. Since it is mainly the valence shell involved in chemical reactions, chemical properties tend to depend heavily on valence shell electron configuration. That is why the elements in choice 3) have the most similar chemical properties.

Which sentence correctly explains the process and conditions needed for sleet to form?

laiz [17]

Answer:Sleet only happens under very specific weather conditions. There must be a layer of air near the ground whose temperature is below freezing, where water turns to ice. Above this layer of freezing air must be a layer of warmer air. As snow falls through the warm air, it melts or partially melts into raindrops.
