Both terms are acceptable due to the fact that eight electrons exist in the outermost shell of all elements in the group. Therefore, one could say that this group has 8 electrons in the outermost shell or that there are no electrons in the outermost shell - as the structure is stable! It is the perspective of a person.

How can you use eight 8 to equal 0?

-- Split the 8s up into two groups of four. -- Do any kind of arithmetic or algebra you want to with one group of four 8s. -- Do exactly the same thing with the other group of four 8s, and give it a negative sign. -- Add the two groups of 8s. The sum is zero.

Is 8 0 8 communicative property of addition?

The expression "8 0 8" seems to imply an addition operation, but it is not presented clearly. If you meant "8 + 0 + 8," then yes, it illustrates the commutative property of addition, which states that the order of numbers does not affect the sum. In this case, regardless of how you arrange the numbers (8 + 0 + 8 or 0 + 8 + 8), the result will always be the same: 16.


Why do members of group 0 have similar properties?

All the elements in the same group have similar properties because the have the same number of valency electrons. Same is the case with group ) elements they have the same number of valency electrons which is 8 so that's why the =y have similar properties


What is the differenc between group and period?

A group in the periodic table is a column of elements with similar chemical properties, while a period is a row of elements with increasing atomic number. Elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons, which contributes to their similar properties. On the other hand, elements in the same period have the same number of electron shells.
