Which family in the periodic table has elements that are all radioactive? select one: a. alkaline earth metals b. actinides c. halogens d. nonmetals

Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Elements of actinide series include Ac, Th, Pa, U, Np, Pu, Am etc and all these elements of actinide series are radioactive in nature.

Alkaline earth metals are the metals of group 2. These include Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Ra. Out of these only radium is radioactive in nature.

Halogens are the elements that have completely filled shells. These include He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, Rn.

Non-metals are the elements which are electron deficient. For example, carbon, sulfur, selenium etc are all non-metals.

Thus, we can conclude that actinides is the family in the periodic table that has elements which are all radioactive.

the answer is b because, investigating whether another species of moth also drinks tears might be interesting, but it would not directly explain why this species of moth does.

to explain why this species of moth drinks tears, the scientist could ask: "what nutrients that moths need are in elephant tears? "

the scientist could experiment with moth repellent or oter ways to keep the moths away, but that would not answer his original question.
