Helium (He) does not have the same number of valence electrons as other elements in its group.
The periodic table is divided into groups with the last number of the group coinciding with the number of electrons that an element in the group has in its outermost or valence shell.
Helium is in group 18 which means that it should have the same number of valence electrons as :
- Neon
- Argon
- Krypton
- Xenon and,
- Radon
Yet Helium only has 2 valence electrons. We can therefore conclusively say that Helium does not have the same number of valence electrons as other elements in its group.

Answer:
I. 0 m/s
II. 20 m/s
III. Part BC
Explanation:
I. Determination of the initial velocity.
From the diagram given above,
The motion of the car starts from the origin. This implies that the car start from rest and as such, the initial velocity of the car is 0 m/s
II. Determination of the maximum velocity attained.
From the diagram given above, we can see clearly that the maximum velocity is 20 m/s.
III. Determination of the part of the graph that represents zero acceleration.
It important that we know the meaning of zero acceleration.
Zero acceleration simply means the car is not accelerating. This can only be true when the car is moving with a constant velocity.
From the graph given above, the car has a constant velocity between B and C.
Therefore, part BC illustrates zero acceleration.
The 78g box, since it has less weight, would accelerate faster. If you had a frictionless surface, and you conducted this experiment, both boxes, without any outside forces, would accelerate at the same rate forever. However, in this problem we must assume the surface is not frictionless. Friction is determined by weight; the more weight, the more friction. Since the 78g box has less weight, it has less friction, making it easier to push with less force.
