b) The table below describes two of the elements above. Write the formula of how
they would be bonded, using the letters to identify them.

Element 1 Element 2
High boiling point Yellow, brittle solid
Located in the 4th period Has 2 lone pairs and 2 bonding electrons
Is not multivalent Poor conductor of heat and electricity
 Four elements from the periodic table are described below
Element A: This metal reacts vigorously with water and its electrons are distributed
among three energy levels.
Element B: This nonmetal is located in Period 3 and used to disinfect or kill
bacteria in pools.
Element C: Its electron configuration is pictured in the Bohr model to the right
Element D: Its outermost energy level is full and it could have 22 neutrons.
2. Complete the table by indicating the symbol, the name of the chemical family, and the
lewis dot diagram for each of these elements.
