11.

This element does not match the properties of any other group so it stands alone. It is placed above Group 1 but it is not part of that group. It is very reactive, colorless, odorless, and a gas at room temperature.

a)

Hydrogen

b)

Helium

c)

Nitrogen

Transition Metals

b)

Alkali Metals

c)

Alkaline-earth Metals

d)

Actinides

13.

a)

Transition Metals

b)

Alkali Metals
