1 fill in the chart dont forget: ape man a = p = e m - a = n
Step1: Recall atomic symbol rules
Atomic symbols are either one - letter (capital) or two - letter (first capital, second lowercase). Helium is He, Magnesium is Mg, Boron is B, Fluorine is F, Nickel is Ni, Lithium is Li.
Step2: Use \(A = P=E\) (atomic number \(A\) = number of protons \(P\) = number of electrons \(E\)) and \(M - A=N\) (mass number \(M\), neutrons \(N\))
- For Helium: \(A = 2\), \(M = 4\), \(N=4 - 2=2\)
- For Magnesium: \(A = 12\), \(M = 24\), \(N = 24-12 = 12\)
- For Boron: \(A = 5\), \(M = 11\), \(N=11 - 5=6\)
- For Fluorine: \(A = 9\), \(M = 19\) (assuming a common isotope, if mass number is 18, \(N=18 - 9 = 9\))
- For Nickel: \(A = 28\), if \(M = 58\), \(N=58 - 28=30\)
- For Lithium: \(A = 3\), \(M = 6\), \(N=6 - 3=3\)
Step3: Determine group and period
- Helium is in group 18 (noble gases), period 1
- Magnesium is in group 2 (alkaline earth metals), period 3
- Boron is in group 13, period 2
- Fluorine is in group 17 (halogens), period 2
- Nickel is in group 10 (transition metals), period 4
- Lithium is in group 1 (alkali metals), period 2
Step4: Classify as metal/non - metal/metalloid
- Helium: non - metal
- Magnesium: metal
- Boron: metalloid
- Fluorine: non - metal
- Nickel: metal
- Lithium: metal
