How much energy does an electron have initially in the n=4 excited state? What is the change in energy if the electron from the n=4 excited state drops to the ground state?

you need to take a look at the periodic system in order to sort these elements into pairs that would most likely exhibit similar chemical properties. first, you need to find elements that are found in the same group (groups are vertical in the periodic system), and then to see whether they have the same valence number. if they meet these criteria, they will have similar properties.

the first pair: ne (neon) and kr (krypton), are noble gases found in group 8

the second pair: li (lithium) and k (potassium), found in group 1

the third pair: s (sulfur) and te (tellurium), found in group 6

a) the particles of the chair are strongly held together.

you need to have a picture of the atom that way we can answer it
