Answer 1

Answer:

see explanation

Explanation:

Using the periodic table, look at the top of each column => These are group numbers ... Typically (for american tables) the numbers are divided into A-Groups and B-Groups... For this post, you need to focus on the A-Groups, or 'Main Group Elements'... Now, the numbers also represent the number of valence (outer shell) electrons in the elements listed below that number. For example, under Group IA, all elements ( H, Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs & F) all have one (1) outer shell electron. All elements under IIA have two outer shell electrons, IIIA, 3 outer shell electrons and so on. The exception is Helium (He) which has only 2 outer shell electrons and is typically listed under Group VIIIA.

So ...

X· => H, Li & Na

X: => He(noble gas exception), Be & Mg

·X: => B & Al

:X: => C & Si

X(5 dots) => N  

X(6 dots) => O

X(7 dots) => F & I

X(8 dots) => Ne
