The electron configuration of an element is shown below. 1s22s22p6

Name the group this element belongs to in the periodic table and explain your answer. Based on the electron configuration, write one chemical property of this element.

by cartels in other countries, shipped by air, mail, or land. i cant really see your answer choices : /

substituting a hydrogen atom with a halogen in a hydrocarbon:

- the single bond remains single. a is wrong.

- the bond with hydrogen is as strong as with a halogen. c is wrong

- a hydrocarbon is saturated if there is no double bond. we do not know that so d is wrong.

- carbon will always have four valence electrons. e is wrong.

by elimination, the correct answer is b. the boiling point of the new compound increases.
