Question

The periodic table is an organized arrangement of the elements with each element specifically placed in position. All of the following are true except (My answer: B)

Correct?

metals tend to form cations and nonmetals tend to form anions.

elements are organized by proton arrangement, which determines behavior.

elements of the same group have similar electron configurations.

valence electrons are responsible for an element's bonding behavior.

Answer 1

I'm not 100% sure, but I'm 90% sure that you are, indeed, correct.
Protons don't affect behavior. Actually, they don't do much to begin with.

Answer 2

Answer is: elements are organized by proton arrangement, which determines behavior.

There are 118 unique substances (elements) arranged on an amazing chart that reveals their hidden secrets to anyone who knows how to read it.

The first chemical element is hydrogen (atomic number is 1) and the last is oganesson (atomic number is 118).

Elements are scheduled in periodic table, ordered by their atomic number.

Metals lost electrons and form cations, nonmetals gain electrons and form anions.

For example, group 1 of Periodic table of elements (alkaline metals). Alkaline metals are lithium, sodium, rubidium, potassium, cesium. They have low ionization energy and lose one electron very easy.
