Which group 2 element has fewer protons than bromine but more protons than sulfur?

calciumThe element sulfur's atomic number is 16, so there are 16 protons in its nucleus. The element bromine's atomic number is 35, and there are 35 protons it its nucleus. This means the element will have an atomic number between 16 and 35. Since the question asked which Group 2 element fits in that window, we can go to the periodic table and look down the column of Group 2 elements and find that calcium is the element so described. It has the atomic number 20, and that means 20 protons in its nucleus.Remember that the Groups on the periodic table of elements are the vertical columns, and they range from Group 1 to Group 18. Group 2 elements are the so-called Alkaine Earth metals. A link is provided to the Wikipedia post on the periodic table. Bookmark this one, kids! Each element on the table is a hyperlink to the Wikipedia post on that element. Even the Group numbers are hyperlinks to the post on that Group! It just doesn't get any better that that.


Is KCl a mixture or pure substance?

Potassium is a metallic element and a member of the Alkali Metal group, it has the symbol K which is derived from its old name of Kalium.


How many electrons does a potassium atom give up when it becomes an ion?

Potassium is a Group I element (group 1) and therefore LOSES 1 electron to achieve full outer shells and become an ion.


This element is in group 1 and has a higher atomic number than chlorine but lower atomic number than bromine?

Examination of a periodic table shows that the element is potassium.


Is potassium more reactive than argon?

Yes you are correct, potassium being an alkali metal is definitely more reactive than argon which is a noble gas (group 18 element). Potassium reacts violently with just water while argon is very inert and stable, which is why it remains in the atmosphere as a monatomic element.

Why is potassium located where it is in the periodic table?

Each element has its own specific spot on the table due to the number or protons in the atom, or atomic number. The periodic table is set up by that. K has 19 protons, therefore in the 19th spot

What is the element that has the most protons of any element in group 18?

Radon (Rn) has the most protons of any element in Group 0 (18) with 86 protons. However, if or when Ununoctium is officially confirmed, that will become the element with most protons in that family, with 118 protons.


What element is a metal of group 4 with 28 protons?

There is no element with 28 protons in group 4. I think you are getting confused with group 4 and PERIOD 4. In period 4, the element with 28 protons is Nickel.
