Beryllium (Be) has an atomic number of 4 & Magnesium (Mg) has an atomic number of 12. They behave the same in a chemical reaction.How should they be placed on the periodic table?

• They should be placed in the same group with Mg on the top and Be below.

• They should be placed in the same group with Be on the top and Mg below.

• They should be placed in the same period with Mg on the top and Be below.

• They should be placed in the same period with Be on the top and Mg below.

Which list of elements will behave similarly in a chemical reaction? ( hint: think about the PT groups and periods)

• lithium, beryllium, boron

• potassium, magnesium, silicon

• nitrogen, carbon, oxygen

• fluorine, chlorine,bromine

William drew a model of the atom beryllium(Be). In the nucleus he included 4 protons and 4 electrons. Orbiting the nucleus he added 5 neutrons in the shells. What mistake did he make?

• The protons should be circling the nucleus, not the neutrons.

• The neutrons should be in the nucleus with the protons and the electrons should be in the shell.

• The nucleus should have electrons and neutrons, not protons and electrons.
