Question
to the right of the metalloid line; medium amount of valence electrons; the majority of elements; give away valence electrons; small number of valence electrons; all but one solid at room temperature; large number of valence electrons; form cations; 1 valence electron; tungsten, yttrium, and barium; iodine, neon, and nitrogen; 2 valence electrons; form anions; all three states of matter
To solve this matching problem, we analyze each left - hand statement and match it with the appropriate right - hand concept (assuming the right - hand concepts are about metals, non - metals, and metalloids, which is typical in Chemistry for periodic table element properties):
1. "To the right of the metalloid line"
Elements to the right of the metalloid line in the periodic table are non - metals. Non - metals have properties like a large number of valence electrons (except for noble gases, but generally), form anions, etc. So it matches with non - metal properties.
2. "Medium amount of valence electrons"
Metalloids have a medium number of valence electrons (usually 3 - 6, depending on the definition, but in the context of comparing with metals and non - metals, they are in the middle). So this matches with metalloids.
3. "The majority of elements"
Metals are the most abundant type of elements in the periodic table. So this matches with metals.
4. "Give away valence electrons"
Metals tend to lose (give away) their valence electrons to form cations. So this matches with metals.
5. "Small number of valence electrons"
Metals typically have 1 - 3 valence electrons (a small number) which they give away. So this matches with metals.
6. "All but one solid at room temperature"
Metals are all solids at room temperature except for mercury (Hg). So this matches with metals.
7. "Large number of valence electrons"
Non - metals (excluding noble gases in some cases, but generally) have a relatively large number of valence electrons (4 - 7) and tend to gain electrons. So this matches with non - metals.
8. "Form cations"
Metals lose electrons to form positively charged ions (cations). So this matches with metals.
9. "1 valence electron"
Alkali metals (which are metals) have 1 valence electron. So this matches with metals.
10. "Tungsten, Yttrium, and Barium"
These are all metals. Tungsten is a transition metal, Yttrium is a transition metal, and Barium is an alkaline earth metal. So this matches with metals.
11. "Iodine, Neon, and Nitrogen"
Iodine is a non - metal, Neon is a noble gas (a type of non - metal in terms of electron behavior), and Nitrogen is a non - metal. So this matches with non - metals.
12. "2 valence electrons"
Alkaline earth metals (metals) have 2 valence electrons. So this matches with metals.
13. "Form anions"
Non - metals gain electrons to form negatively charged ions (anions). So this matches with non - metals.
14. "All three states of matter"
Non - metals can exist in all three states of matter at room temperature and standard pressure. For example, nitrogen (gas), iodine (solid), and bromine (liquid). So this matches with non - metals.
If we were to present the matches in a table:
| Left - Hand Statement | Right - Hand Match (Concept) |
|---|---|
| Medium amount of valence electrons | Metalloids |
| The majority of elements | Metals |
| Give away valence electrons | Metals |
| Small number of valence electrons | Metals |
| All but one solid at room temperature | Metals |
| Large number of valence electrons | Non - metals |
| Form cations | Metals |
| 1 valence electron | Metals |
| Tungsten, Yttrium, and Barium | Metals |
| Iodine, Neon, and Nitrogen | Non - metals |
| 2 valence electrons | Metals |
| Form anions | Non - metals |
| All three states of matter | Non - metals |
