<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option 3.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Elements are distributed in 7 Periods and 18 groups in a periodic table.

Elements which belong to same group show similar chemical properties because of the same number of valence electrons.

For the given options:

<u>Option 1:</u> Br, Ga and Hg

Bromine is present in Group 17, Gallium is present in 13 and Mercury is present in Group 12.

As, all the three elements belong to different groups. So, they do not show similar chemical properties.

<u>Option 2:</u> Cr, Pb and Xe

Chromium is present in Group 6, Lead is present in Group 14 and Xenon is present in Group 18.

As, all the three elements belong to different groups. So, they do not show similar chemical properties.

<u>Option 3:</u> O, S and Se

Oxygen, Sulfur and Selenium are present in Group 16.

As, all the three elements belong to same group. So, they will show similar chemical properties.

<u>Option 4:</u> N, O and F

Nitrogen is present in Group 15, Oxygen is present in Group 16 and Fluorine is preset in Group 17.

As, all the three elements belong to different groups. So, they do not show similar chemical properties.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 3.

Answer the following Question Down Below...

bonufazy [111]

The mass number of the atom is 21, the atomic number is 9, and the element is Fluorine. There are 9 protons, 9 electrons, 12 neutrons, and the elemental symbol is F.

<h3>Properties of an atom</h3>

For every atom:

Protons and neutrons are located in the nucleus and the addition of both equals the mass number of atoms.
Electrons are located outside the nucleus, in orbitals.
Neutral atoms have the same number of electrons and protons

In the diagram:

Number of electrons = 9

Number of protons = 9

Number of neutrons = 12

Mass number = 12 + 9

= 21

Atomic number = number of protons

= 9

Element with atomic number 9 = Fluorine

Symbol of the element = F

Draw the product formed when 2-butanol undergoes reaction with TsCl and Et3N. CH3C6H4SO2Cl.

Pie

Answer:

Explanation:

In organic chemistry, the reaction between 2-butanol with TsCl and Et3N is known as the tosylation of the alcohol hydroxyl group. Alcohol is being changed to tosylate by the use of tosyl chloride under the influence of a base. Tosylation of alcohol is an example of a nucleophilic substitution reaction. From the image attached below, we will see how the reaction between 2-butanol proceed into the product by using tosyl chloride and a base(Et3N).
