Question

• The similar chemical behavior of the elements in a given group in the periodic table is best accounted for by the fact that atoms of these elements have: A) the same number of isotopes B) the same number of electrons C) the same number of electrons in the outermost shell D)similar nuclear structures E)the same number of protons • The similar chemical behavior of the elements in a given group in the periodic table is best accounted for by the fact that atoms of these elements have: A) the same number of isotopes B) the same number of electrons C) the same number of electrons in the outermost shell D)similar nuclear structures E)the same number of protons • The similar chemical behavior of the elements in a given group in the periodic table is best accounted for by the fact that atoms of these elements have: A) the same number of isotopes B) the same number of electrons C) the same number of electrons in the outermost shell D)similar nuclear structures E)the same number of protons

Explanation / Answer

the chemical behaviour depends upon the outermost shell electron , as these electron defines the combining capacity of a given element , they are responsible for all the chemical behjaviour , hence answer is C
