Please help me with these questions... please.. Imagine you are a scientist who has just discovered a new element. The element has an atomic number of 113, and it has three elections in the outer energy level of each atom.
Which element would have properties most similar to the new element?
Group of answer choices

A. boron
B. carbon
C. hydrogen
D. beryllium

What would you name this new element?

3 valence electrons

The element with the atomic number 113 would fall in the 13th column of the periodic table Group IIIA. This group has an electron configuration that would end as p1 , meaning there would be 3 valence electrons. The valence electrons are the electrons found in the highest energy level in the s and p orbital.

Explanation:

Nihonium has to be the #113 element of the periodic table

A. is the correct answer because Boron has 3 electrons too,

All elements in Group 13 have three electrons in their outermost energy level. The two most popular elements in this group are Boron and Aluminum.

c. is the answer
