atoms are made of 3 types of sub atomic particles- protons, neutrons and electrons

from these 3 particles, electrons are responsible for participating in chemical bonds. therefore chemical properties of elements are based on the number of electrons present.

valence electrons are the number of electrons in the outermost energy shell that are involved in chemical bonds.

atoms with same number of valence electrons are grouped in to columns called groups.

therefore elements of the same group have same number of valence electrons, hence similar chemical properties.

from the options given

only Be and Mg belong to the same group they both belong to group 2 with 2 valence electrons

therefore Be and Mg have similar chemical properties

answer is

1) Be and Mg

How much of a 1.00 mg sample of americium remains after 3 half-lives?

notka56 [123]

Answer: 0.125mg americium

Half-lives is a set of duration when a sample will become half of their original mass. In this case, the initial mass is 1mg and the sample is going for 3 times half-lives. Then the calculation would be: 1mg $1/2^{3}$ = 1/8 mg= 0.125mg.

Answer:

C )

Explanation:

Controlled scientific experiment tests scientific assumption (hypothesis), under controlled conditions.

In controlled scientific experiment, alters the test variable (independent variable) and observes the effects on the outcome variable (dependent variable).

Eg : Studying impact of sunlight on plant's group, where former independent variable is altered & its effects on dependent outcome variable is observed.
