Use the portion of the periodic table shown below to answer the questions. A portion of the first three columns of the periodic table is shown. Column one from top to bottom reads 11 sodium 22.990, 19 potassium 39.098, and 37 rubidium 85.468. Column two reads 12 magnesium 24.305, 20 calcium 40.078, and 38 strontium 87.62. Column three reads 21 scandium 44.956 and 39 yttrium 88.906.

Part 1: Name two elements that have the same properties as potassium (K). (4 points)
Part 2: Determine the number of protons, electrons, and neutrons present in an atom of magnesium (Mg). Explain how you determined your answer using complete sentences. (6 points)

part 1:sodium and rubidium have the same properties with potassium. this is because sodium, potassium, and rubidium are in the same column that is they are all in group one of periodic table. all are alkali metals hence have the same properties.

part 2:Protons: 12

Neutrons: 12

Electrons: 12

The atomic number of Magnesium is 12, so it has to have 12 protons. The atomic mass of Magnesium is 24, so it has to have 12 neutrons since 12+12=24 (electrons don't have weight). You can tell it has 12 electrons because the electrons are always the same number as the protons.

experiments.

surveys.

questionnaires.

interviews.

case studies.

participant and non-participant observation.

observational trials.

studies using the delphi method.

here are five steps to a strong outline:

choose your topic and establish your purpose. a lot of writers struggle to define the initial focus for their paper.

create a list of main ideas. this is the brainstorming part of the writing process.

organize your main ideas.

flush out your main points.

review and adjust.
