Which pair of elements would you expect to exhibit the greatest similarity in their physical
and chemical properties?
Select one:
O a. No
O b. Mg, Al
O c. Br, Kr
O d. As, Br
O e. I, AT


Sagot :

Answer:

e. I, At

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the periodic trends of a series of elements belonging to the same group towards physical and chemical properties tend to be the same when closer in period, we notice that Mg and Al, Br and Kr and As and Br are close but in period, not in the same group; therefore e. I, At, iodine and astatine, are going to tend to exhibit the greatest similarity in their physical  and chemical properties.

Best regards!
