Why is neon in the same group on the periodic table as helium?

Noble gases: helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon. Also known as the rare gases, they once were called inert gases, because scientists believed them incapable of reacting with other elements

They are both noble gases and they both have a full outer shell

The answer is a) carbon-12

Following are the  advantages of the parametric equations: 1) they can be used to graph curves that are not functions, like the unit circle.2) the parameter can be used to represent the quantity that is  useful to  provide us with better information about the graph.3)  it is useful to convert between rectangular equations and parametric equations.with specific reference to chemistry,  parametric equations are employ for solving hydrogen and hydrogen-like ions, quantum mechanically. herein, cartesian coordinates are converted in spherical polar coordinates. the solution obtained, when plotted on spherical polar graph paper, provides visualization of atomic orbital such as s,p,d and f.
