Which two elements have the most similar chemical properties?

Chemistry
2 answers:
Sedbober [7]3 years ago

atoms are made of 3 types of sub atomic particles- protons, neutrons and electrons

from these 3 particles, electrons are responsible for participating in chemical bonds. therefore chemical properties of elements are based on the number of electrons present.

valence electrons are the number of electrons in the outermost energy shell that are involved in chemical bonds.

atoms with same number of valence electrons are grouped in to columns called groups.

therefore elements of the same group have same number of valence electrons, hence similar chemical properties.

from the options given

only Be and Mg belong to the same group they both belong to group 2 with 2 valence electrons

therefore Be and Mg have similar chemical properties

answer is

1) Be and Mg

Isotopes of an element will contain the same number of protons and electrons but will differ in the number of neutrons they contain. In other words, isotopes have the same atomic number because they are the same element but have a different atomic mass because they contain a different number of neutrons.

True or false; when something heats up, New energy is created, and when something cool down, Energy is destroyed.
Ann [662]

Answer:

This is false.

Explanation:

This statement directly opposes the first law of thermodynamics which states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but can transfer from one source to another.

Which statement is NOT TRUE about elements in group 16?
Airida [17]
The most suitable answer is C becuase they would gain two elctrons to atain that stable OCTET thus becoming a anion with a charge of -2 and by virtue oxidation states of -2.  There is however an exception with oxygen in two cases. But I still remain that the best answer would be C

Answer:

A red giant is a luminous giant star of low or intermediate mass in a late phase of stellar evolution. The outer atmosphere is inflated and tenuous, making the radius large and the surface temperature around 5,000 K or lower.
