22. when looking at the halogens on the periodic table, how does the number of valence electrons change as the
energy level is increased?
a. the total number of valence electrons does not change. it remains at 1.
b. the total number of valence electrons does not change. it remains at 1,
c. the total number of valence electrons increases by 1 with each energy level,
d. the total number of valence electrons decreases by 1 with each energy level,

The total number of valence electrons per atom does not change. It remains at 7 (as opposed to 1 in the options.)

Explanation:

The periodic table organizes elements with the same number of valence electrons in the same column.

All the halogens (F, Cl, Br, etc.) are found in the same column (the second column from the right) on the periodic table. The all have the same number of valence electrons per atom.

All elements in the right-most column (the one with all the noble gas elements) contain 8 valence electrons per atom (a full valence shell.) Since the halogens are to the left of the noble gas elements by only one place, each would contain valence electrons.

kepler used the data from tycho blahe (his mentor) to construct the laws of planetary motion.
