Answer:
M is Li, X is boron, and Q is oxygen. MX is LiB, lithium bromide. QX is BO, boron oxide (not Body Odor).
Explanation: The atomic masses don't match exactly with those listed in the periodic table. Boron, Oxygen, and Lithium come the closest.
Lithium reacts with bromine since it happily donates it's single 2s electron to bromine's 4p orbital to fill bromine's 4s and 4p valence orbitals to go from 7 to 8 valence electrons, it's happy state.
Boron reacts with oxygen to form B2O3, which I'll happily write as O=BOB=O, since my name is Bob. This is more complex, but both elements want to move electrons around in order to reach a more stable electron configuration. Boron has 3 valence electrons and oxygen has 6. So each oxygen needs 2 electrons to fill it's outer shell and boron is happy to lose it's 3 valence electrons to reach an outer shell equiovalent to helium. So 2 borons contribute a total of 6 electrons, and the 3 oxygens have room for a total of 6 electrons to fill their outer shell.
<span>The behavior, or reactivity, of elements in a group, or family will behave similarly because they have the same numbers of valence electrons. An example might be the alkali metals (with the exception of hydrogen, H, which is a gas) which form +1 ions in their compounds, have a relatively low melting point, and react violently with water. Other groups of atoms also show similar properties although different from the alkali metals. This type of behavior is one of the things that helps us categorize the elements into the periodic table of the elements. Mendeleev noticed similarities in the behavior of certain elements that originally allowed him to place them into families and develop that periodic chart</span>
The base of the garden in the scale drawing is 30 centimeters. (because 10x3 equals to 30)
The height of the garden in the scale drawing is 12 centimeters. (because 4x3 equals to 12)
The length of the patio in the scale drawing is 24 centimeters. (because 8x3 equals to 24)
The width of the patio in the scale drawing is 12 centimeters. (because 4x3 equals to 12)
