Question

1. which of the following statements accurately compare element x and element y displayed on the periodic table below? select three correct answers. atoms of element x and element y have an equal number of energy levels. atoms of element x and element y have an equal number of valence electrons. atoms of element x have more energy levels than atoms of element y. atoms of element x have more protons than atoms of element y. atoms of element x have more valence electrons than atoms of element y.

Explanation:

In the periodic table, elements further down have more energy - levels. The position of an element in the periodic table determines its number of protons (atomic number). Valence electrons are related to the group number. Since Element X is above Element Y, atoms of Element Y have more energy - levels and more protons. Without knowing group positions, we can't compare valence electrons. So, atoms of Element X and Element Y have an equal number of valence electrons (if in the same group), atoms of Element X have fewer protons than atoms of Element Y, and atoms of Element Y have more energy - levels than atoms of Element X.

Answer:

• Atoms of Element X and Element Y have an equal number of valence electrons.
• Atoms of Element X have fewer protons than atoms of Element Y.
• Atoms of Element Y have more energy levels than atoms of Element X.
