Answer:

So, energy is really all one big circle. Think of it like this:

When an organism dies, it's body is always inevitably taken back by the earth. For the purpose of the example, we'll use one specific scavenger as the main contributor here. When the body soaks back into the soil, the nutrients act as a fertilizer and aid in the growth of a patch of grass, that grass is eaten by a grasshopper, then, a frog comes along and is eaten by a snake, and eventually, that snake is eaten by an eagle. Let's say that eagle dies of natural causes, and once it passes away, the earth reclaims it's body. Now, we have a whole new fresh patch of grass and the cycle continues on, and on, and on. In this way, all energy is made eternal through the cycle of life and the food chain.

1)
-Lithium: Lithium got 3 protons, so it atomic number is 3. It is located on the first column of the periodic table, and belonging to the alkali metal. So lithium is a metal. Lithium is highly reactive.
-Neon: It is located on the 18th column of the periodic table, and belong to the noble gases. So Neon is a nonmetal. Neon's reactivity is very low.
-Fluorine: Located on the 17th column of the periodic metal, fluorine is a nonmetal, and belong to the halogen family. Fluorine's reactivity is high.

2)
-Vertical columns of the periodic table are called columns. There is 18 column in the periodic table, and each one represent a chemical family.
-Horizontal rows of the periodic table care called periods. There is 7 periods in the periodic table.
-The number of protons in an atom is that element's atomic number. And since the atom is electrically neutral, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons. So if you have the number of electrons, you can still find the atomic number.
-The total of protons and neutrons in an atom is that element's atomic mass. Based on the formula A = Z + N, where A represents the atomic mass, Z the atomic number (number of protons) and N the number of neutrons.
-The elements in group 1 are the most reactive metals. This group is called the Alkali metals. They only have 1 electron in their outer shell which makes them always ready to lose an electron in an ionic bonding.
-The elements in group 17 are the most reactive nonmetals. This group is called the Halogens, with 7 electrons in their outer shell which makes them always ready to win an electron in an ionic bonding.
-The elements in group 18 are the most unreactive elements. This group is called the Noble gases. Their outer shell is always full, so it can't do reactions.

Hope this Helps! :)
