QuestionIdentify the pair of elements in the same period: Zinc & Nitrogen, Potassium & Sodium, Boron & Carbon, Lithium & Magnesium.
Studdy Solution
STEP 1
Assumptions1. The elements are identified by their names Zinc, Nitrogen, Potassium, Sodium, Boron, Carbon, Lithium, and Magnesium.
. The placement of these elements is based on the modern periodic table.
3. Elements in the same period are in the same horizontal row on the periodic table.
STEP 2
Identify the period number for each element. The period number corresponds to the number of electron shells an atom of the element has.
Zinc (Zn) is in period4.
Nitrogen () is in period2.
Potassium (K) is in period4.
odium (Na) is in period.
Boron (B) is in period2.
Carbon (C) is in period2.
ithium (Li) is in period2.
Magnesium (Mg) is in period.
STEP 3
Compare the period numbers for each pair of elements.
Zinc (Zn) and Nitrogen () are not in the same period.
Potassium (K) and Sodium (Na) are not in the same period.
Boron (B) and Carbon (C) are in the same period.
ithium (Li) and Magnesium (Mg) are not in the same period.
The elements Boron (B) and Carbon (C) are in the same period.
