Plz which of the following pairs of elements could possibly be found in the same group on the periodic table? a forms a 2+ ion; b is an alkaline earth metal. a is a noble gas; b forms a 1- ion. a has 3 valence electrons; b is a halogen. a forms a 2- ion; b has the atomic number 12.

A forms a 2+ ion; B is an alkaline earth metal.

Explanation:

If B is an alkaline earth metal, it is in Group 2. Elements in Group 2 have two valence electrons, so they form M²⁺ ions. Thus, A and B are in the same Group.

2. is wrong. If A is a noble gas it will not form an ion.

3. is wrong. If B is a halogen, it has seven valence electrons.

4. is wrong. If B has atomic number 12, it is magnesium. Mg has two valence electrons and forms Mg²⁺ ions.

warm front forms when a moist, warm air mass slides up and over a cold air mass. as the warm air mass rises, it condenses into a broad area of clouds. a warm front brings gentle rain or light snow, followed by warmer, milder weather.
