Use the portion of the periodic table shown below to answer the questions. (10 points)

A portion of the first three columns of the periodic table is shown. Column one from top to bottom reads 11 sodium 22.990, 19 potassium 39.098, and 37 rubidium 85.468. Column two reads 12 magnesium 24.305, 20 calcium 40.078, and 38 strontium 87.62. Column three reads 21 scandium 44.956 and 39 yttrium 88.906.

Part 1: Name two elements that have the same properties as potassium (K). (4 points)
Part 2: Determine the number of protons, electrons, and neutrons present in an atom of magnesium (Mg). Explain how you determined your answer using complete sentences. (6 points)

Your answer:

2 elements with same properties as K could be rubidium and sodium. Elements in the same column (vertical) will have similar properties to each other

Mg has 12 protons- this is given on the (generally) the top left of the element on the periodic table. We know protons have a positive charge so to make the element neutral there would be 12 electrons to balance the protons. The neutrons is usually the same number as the protons but since the majority of an atoms weight is in protons and neutrons- electrons mass in negligee it’s so small- you can subtract the number of protons from the mass number. In this case : 24-12= 12. So there are 12 neutrons
