Question

question 1 (1 point) listen c and s are 1) solid nonmetals 2) are diatomic nonmetals 3) are metals with electrons in their d orbitals 4) solid halogens

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: Carbon (C) and Sulfur (S) are nonmetals. Carbon (e.g., graphite, diamond) and sulfur are solid at room temperature.
• Option 2: Diatomic nonmetals exist as diatomic molecules (e.g., \( \text{O}_2 \), \( \text{N}_2 \)), but C and S are not diatomic (C is often in networks, S in \( \text{S}_8 \) rings, not diatomic).
• Option 3: C and S are nonmetals, not metals, so this is incorrect.
• Option 4: Halogens are Group 17 (e.g., Cl, F), C (Group 14) and S (Group 16) are not halogens.

So Option 1 is correct.

Answer:

1. Solid nonmetals
