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
Take the attached picture of a periodic table as a guide. You are finding for a solid metal. Therefore, streamline your choices by looking at elements written in black bold letters, because they are all solid. Next, if you look at the center, the legend for metals are colors in orange, yellow, flesh, lavender, pink, and cyan blue. These region would be your choices. Next, you want to find a metal that is shiny and ductile. The shiny appearance is a common characteristic of luster by materials. Ductility is the ability of a metal to stretch when under tensile stress. These properties are best exhibited by metals in the transitions metals colored in pink. Therefore, the answer to your question would be any of the metal in the pink area. Examples are Titanium, Chromium, Gold, Silver, Platinum, Tungsten, etc.
Um, I think it’s: k is potassium and F is fluorine so potassium Fluoride
