These models show the electron structures of two different nonmetal elements.

Question illustration
A
Element 1 is more reactive because it has fewer electron shells and is toward the top of its group on the periodic table.
B
Element 1 is more reactive because it has more electrons in its valence shell and is farther to the right on the periodic table.
C
Element 2 is more reactive because it does not have a valence shell close to the nucleus, so it will attract electrons.
D
Element 2 is more reactive because it does not have a full valence shell, so it will attract electrons.

The atomic number of beryllium (Be) is 4, and the atomic number of barium (Ba) is 56. Which comparison is best supported by this information?

A
They are in the same group because they have similar atomic masses, but they are in different periods because they have different chemical properties.
B
They are in the same group because they have similar chemical properties, but they are in different periods because they have very different atomic numbers.
C
They are in the same group because their atomic numbers are each multiples of four, but they are in different periods because they have different chemical properties.
D
They are in the same group because they have similar atomic masses, but they are in different periods because they have very different atomic numbers.
14

B
There are two possible elements, and they are directly above and below bromine.
C
There are many possible elements, and they are all in the same vertical column as bromine.
D
There are many possible elements, and they are all in the same horizontal row as bromine.
