Explanation:

Step 1: Recall Periodic Table Basics

For question 3, vertical columns in the periodic table are defined as groups (or families). This is a fundamental concept in Chemistry (a subfield of Natural Science) related to the periodic table structure.

Step 2: Confirm the Term

The standard term for vertical columns on the periodic table is "groups" (or "families").

Step 1: Recall Periodic Table Basics

For question 4, horizontal rows in the periodic table are defined as periods. This is a key concept in understanding the periodic table's layout.

Step 2: Confirm the Term

The standard term for horizontal rows on the periodic table is "periods".

Step 1: Recall Atomic Structure Terms

For question 5, the number of protons in an atom's nucleus is defined as the atomic number. This is a basic concept in atomic structure (Chemistry).

Step 2: Confirm the Term

The term for the number of protons in an atom is the "atomic" number.

Step 1: Recall Atomic Structure Terms

For question 6, the sum of protons and neutrons in an atom's nucleus is defined as the mass number. This is a key concept in atomic mass (Chemistry).

Step 2: Confirm the Term

The term for the sum of protons and neutrons is the "mass" number.

Step 1: Recall Periodic Table Group Names

For question 7, elements in groups 3 - 12 are known as transition metals. This is a classification based on the periodic table's groupings (Chemistry).

Step 2: Confirm the Name

The elements in groups 3 - 12 are called "transition metals".

Step 1: Recall Periodic Table Group Names

For question 8, elements in group 1 are known as alkali metals. This is a standard group name in the periodic table (Chemistry).

Step 2: Confirm the Name

The elements in group 1 are called "alkali metals".

Step 1: Recall Periodic Table Group Names

For question 9, elements in group 2 are known as alkaline earth metals. This is a standard group name in the periodic table (Chemistry).

Step 2: Confirm the Name

The elements in group 2 are called "alkaline earth metals".

Step 1: Recall Periodic Table Group Names

For question 10, elements in group 18 are known as noble gases. This is a standard group name in the periodic table (Chemistry).

Step 2: Confirm the Name

The elements in group 18 are called "noble gases".

For question 1 (element location), we use the periodic table's group (vertical column) and period (horizontal row) numbering:

For question 2 (metal, nonmetal, metalloid):

Part a: Poor conductor of electricity

- Step 1: Recall that nonmetals and metalloids (except some) are poor conductors. Nonmetals are generally poor conductors.
