How are the families of the periodic table organized?
(Select all that apply.)
based on the group of the elements
based on the period of the elements
by the class of the elements, such as metal or nonmetal
by the properties the elements share, such as reactivity
I think the answer is D?
Two points Amy.
1. Yes, we HELP people but we don't do your work for you.This is clearly a homework dump. If you will tell us exactly what is troubling you about a problem we can HELP you get through it. As I answered the Mg(ClO3)2 problem above because both answers were wrong and I didn't want to let that stand.
2. I don't like any of the choices for the answer but I think D is the best of those choices listed.
The families or groups in the periodic table are organized based on the group of the elements, by the class of the elements such as metal or nonmetal, and by the properties the elements share, such as reactivity.
To understand how families are organized in the periodic table, you can follow these steps:
1. Identify the group number: Groups in the periodic table are numbered from 1 to 18. The group number indicates the number of valence electrons in the elements of that group.
2. Determine the class of the elements: Elements in the periodic table are classified into various classes, such as metals, nonmetals, and metalloids. Metals are usually found on the left side of the periodic table, nonmetals on the right side, and metalloids along the zigzag line.
3. Look for patterns in properties: Elements within the same group often share similar chemical properties. For example, the alkali metals (group 1) are very reactive and have similar physical and chemical properties. Similarly, halogens (group 17) are highly reactive nonmetals with similar properties.
By understanding the group number, class, and common properties of the elements, you can easily organize and classify the families within the periodic table.
