(d) The Periodic Table question 1
The diagram shows part of the Periodic Table, with elements represented by the letters L, M, Q, R and T.
The letters in the diagram represent elements but are not their chemical symbols.
Question (a)
(a)
Give the letter from the diagram that represents a noble gas.
[ 1 ]
Question (b)
(b)
Elements L and M are in the same group.
State why they have similar chemical reactions.
[ 1 ]
Question (c)
(c)
An atom of element Q has 31 protons.
Use this information to explain how you can determine the number of protons in an atom of element R.
