Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Atomic number of helium is 2 and its electronic configuration is 1s^{2}. As here n = 1 this means that helium element belongs to period 1.

Since, helium atom has completely filled s-shell this means that it is unreactive in nature as it neither needs to lose or gain an electron in order to attain stability.

And, all the unreactive elements in the periodic table belongs to group 8A. That is why, helium also belongs to group 8A and period 1.

Thus, we can conclude that helium is located in Group 8A, Period 1 .

The answer iiiis... A: Group 8A, Period 1


<h3>Here's why:</h3>

The way I found this doesn't have much thought or explanation--I just remember that helium and hydrogen are in period 1. The only answer choice with "period 1" is A.

How is the polar vortex different from the jet stream?
kolezko [41]
The jet stream is a band of reliably strong wind that plays a key role in keeping colder air north and warmer air south. But when the vortex weakens, part of the weakened low-pressure system can break off. This breaking-off process is what causes a polar vortex.

Without that strong low-pressure system, the jet stream does not have enough force to maintain its usual path. It becomes wavy and rambling. When high-pressure systems get in its way, a collection of cold air pushes south, along with the rest of the polar vortex system

Do you expect potassium iodide to be soluble in cyclohexane
Allushta [10]
Answer is: no, <span>potassium iodide has low solubility in cyclohexane.
</span>Potassium iodide (KI) is ionic compound, salt, that dissolve good in polar solvents (for example water), but it is very low soluble in non-polar solvents (in this example cyclohexane C₆H₁₂).
<span>Cyclohexane has zero net polarity, because it is a symmetric molecule, with sp2 hybridization of carbon.</span>

The lewis structure of pf3 shows that the central phosphorus atom has ________ nonbonding and ________ bonding electron pair(s)
vfiekz [6]
The Lewis structure of PF3 shows that the central phosphorus atom has one non bonding and three bonding electron pairs. In this compound each Phosphorus atom contributes 5 valence electrons while each fluoride contributes 7 valence electrons making a total of 26 valence electrons. The central Phosphorus atom forms single bonds with each of the fluoride atoms. Phosphorus, therefore ends up with a non-bonding pair since the fluoride atoms already have 8 electrons around them. <span />

What is the basic definition of carbohydrates
ikadub [295]

Carbohydrates are substances that are found in foods such as bread and pasta, which provide the body with heat and energy. Chemically, carbohydrates are made of three kinds of elements namely carbon , hydrogen and oxygen.

Carbohydrates are separated into two main categories, simple carbohydrates and complex carbohydrates.  

Simple carbohydrates are those that contain one or two sugar molecules linked together. Complex carbohydrates are those that contain  three or more sugar molecules linked together. In some cases these chains can contain hundreds of sugar molecules.
