Use your periodic table of elements. Take any element of your choosing (from period 4 or above) and answer the following questions:

What is the element's name and symbol?
Is it a metal, nonmetal, or metalloid?
Which family does it belong to?
How many protons, neutrons, and electrons does its neutral atom have?

Element's name - Cesium

Symbol - Cs
Metallic Category - Metal
Family - Alkali
Protons/Electrons - 55
Neutrons - 78

To answer these questions, we will use the periodic table of elements. Let's choose the element Chromium (Cr), which is located in period 4.

1. What is the element's name and symbol?
The element's name is Chromium, and its symbol is Cr.

2. Is it a metal, nonmetal, or metalloid?
Chromium is a metal. Metals are found on the left side of the periodic table and tend to be shiny, malleable, and good conductors of heat and electricity.

3. Which family does it belong to?
Chromium belongs to the transition metals family, which is located in the d-block of the periodic table. Transition metals are known for their varied properties, including multiple oxidation states and the ability to form colorful compounds.

4. How many protons, neutrons, and electrons does its neutral atom have?
To determine the number of protons, we look at the element's atomic number. Chromium has an atomic number of 24, so it has 24 protons.

To determine the number of neutrons, we can calculate it by subtracting the atomic number from the atomic mass. The atomic mass of chromium is approximately 52, rounded to the nearest whole number. Consequently, the number of neutrons is approximately 52 - 24 = 28.

Since atoms are electrically neutral, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons, so chromium also has 24 electrons.

By referring to the periodic table and applying the properties and numbers associated with the element Chromium (Cr), we have successfully answered the questions.

What don't you understand about this assignment?

So. Doubt you need help but for any 8th grader FLVS students HEY! do your own work. YOU should know that this wont get you an education. Im currently doing it and it took me 5 minutes to get a well thought out answer DO IT ON YOUR OWN. I believe in you
