Question

question 5
to what group do oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur belong?
alkaline earth metals
halogens
alkali metals
nonmetals
question 6
which of the following shows three elements in order of increasing conductivity?
mn, o, ge
ge, o, mn
o, ge, mn
mn, ge, o

Explanation:

• For Question 5: Oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur are non - metals. Alkaline earth metals are in Group 2, halogens are in Group 17, and alkali metals are in Group 1.
• For Question 6: Oxygen is a non - metal and has low conductivity. Germanium is a metalloid with intermediate conductivity, and manganese is a metal with high conductivity. So the order of increasing conductivity is O, Ge, Mn.

Answer:

Question 5: nonmetals
Question 6: O, Ge, Mn
