Why might two elements possess similar chemical properties

Biology
1 answer:
RSB [31]3 years ago
5 0
One of the reasons can be because their atoms have the same outermost shell electrons.

For example in elements fluorine and Chlorine, they both have 7 outermost shell electrons. We can know this because they're in the same group in the periodic table, which is group VII. Both of these elements have similar chemical properties, such as they both react with sodium to produce metal halides, which is a kind of salt.

However, note that their chemical properties will not be exactly the same, as they have different number of protons which distinguishs between different elements.

Explain two different perspectives of different marine industries on the carbon cycle.
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

The marine industries affected the marine life and ocean water in many ways. When carbon dioxide dissolves in seawater, the water becomes more acidic and the ocean's pH drops. In the past two hundred years alone, ocean water has become 30 percent more acidic and faster than any known change in ocean chemistry in the last million years.

Hope it helps!
