Question

1. would you normally expect (ne) to form compounds

a. yes
b. no
c. sometimes
d. there is no element called ne

1. which pair of elements would likely have the same number of valence electrons and react similarly?

a. boron and aluminum
b. helium and fluorine
c. carbon and nitrogen
d. chlorine and oxygen
use the diagrams to answer the following questions

1. based on the information above which of the following is not true

a. molecules are made of atoms
b. protons are smaller than quarks
c. atoms are larger than protons
d. protons are made up of quarks

Explanation:

1. Neon (Ne) is a noble - gas with a full outer electron shell, making it very stable and unlikely to form compounds.
2. Boron and aluminum are in the same group (Group 13) of the periodic table, so they have the same number of valence electrons and similar chemical reactivity.
3. Protons are made up of quarks, and quarks are smaller than protons. So the statement "Protons are smaller than quarks" is false.

Answer:

1. b. No
2. a. boron and aluminum
3. b. Protons are smaller than quarks
