Why are there only two elements in the first period of the periodic table?(1 point)

because the next elements have other things in common and they need to be arranged together

You plan to pass alpha particles through a field that contains a consistent type of particle. Which configuration will result in the largest deflection of alpha particles?
high-energy alpha particles passing through a field of low mass-number-particles
high-energy alpha particles passing through a field of low mass-number-particles
low-energy alpha particles passing through a field of high mass-number-particles
low-energy alpha particles passing through a field of high mass-number-particles
high-energy alpha particles passing through a field of high mass-number-particles
high-energy alpha particles passing through a field of high mass-number-particles
low-energy alpha particles passing through a field of low mass-number-particles

The reason there are only two elements in the first period of the periodic table is because only two electrons can fit in the first orbit around the nucleus, and each period on the table is organized by the number of orbits. So, the correct answer is: "because only two electrons can fit in the first orbit around the nucleus, and each period on the table is organized by the number of orbits."

The current periodic table of elements is based on the atomic number, which was proposed by Henry Moseley. So, the correct answer is: "atomic number."

To determine which configuration will result in the largest deflection of alpha particles when passed through a field containing a consistent type of particle, we need to consider the concept of scattering. High-energy alpha particles have more momentum and are less likely to be deflected significantly, while low-energy alpha particles have less momentum and are more likely to be deflected. Additionally, high mass-number particles are more likely to cause significant deflection compared to low mass-number particles. Therefore, the configuration that will result in the largest deflection of alpha particles is: "low-energy alpha particles passing through a field of high mass-number particles."

The correct answer is:

Your question is hard to read and hard to understand.

The first one: There are only two electrons in the first orbit; therefore, when those two electrons are inserted (H and He), the next electron must go into the second orbit and that begins period 2.

The modern periodic table is based on atomic number; i.e., the number of protons in the nucleus.

The maximum deflection will be due to low energy alpha particles interacting with large masses.
