Answer: The correct answer is Option B.

Explanation:

Beryllium is the 4th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration $1s^22s^2$ . This element belongs to Group 2 of the periodic table.

Elements that belong to same group show similar chemical properties because they have same number of valence electrons.

For the given options:

Option A: Hydrogen

This element belong to group 1 of the periodic table.

Option B: Calcium

This element belong to group 2 of the periodic table. Thus, this will show similar chemical properties to beryllium.

Option C: Lithium

This element belong to group 1 of the periodic table.

Option D: Boron

This element belong to group 13 of the periodic table.

Hence, the correct answer is Option B.

Why does a group of warmer atoms take up more volume than a group of cooler atoms ?

const2013 [10]

Warmer atoms expand. There is also more movement. This is also explained when putting it into terms with solid vs. gas. in a solid, the atoms vibrate, but they can't move very far because there is not a lot of space between them. In a gas, on the other hand, the atoms are spread apart, and they move very fast. Putting it into context with water, the steam (gas) version is hot, and the ice cube (solid) version is cold.

The overall reaction of ozone reacting to form oxygen has been proposed to occur in a reaction mechanism of: What is the role of

LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

3) O(g) is an intermediate; 2O3(g)→3O2(g)

Explanation:

The decomposition of ozone to yield oxygen occurs in a sequence of steps. The various non-elementary reactions involved constitute the reaction mechanism. In the sequence of reaction steps O(g) serves as an intermediate.

The overall reaction involves the conversion of two moles of ozone to three moles of oxygen as shown in the answer. Thus the O(g) is merely a reaction intermediate.

How do plants and animals differ in how they get food?

Vilka [71]

Animals get their food by preying on other species or scrounging for scraps they can find. Some eat other animals and some eat plants.
Plants get their food by absorbing minerals and water from the ground and absorbing carbon dioxide from the air through their leaves. They then also absorb sunlight and all of those components are made into food for the plant. Simple answer is through photosynthesis.
