In amy line accrues the Periodic Table each step to the right indicates that the element contains one more proton than the element to its left. Nickel has one more proton (28) than cobalt (27) and occupies its proper position.

What are the two elements in the same period as magnesium?

Magnesium is in period 3 of the periodic table. The two elements in the same period as magnesium are aluminum (Al) and silicon (Si). Both elements follow magnesium in this period, with aluminum located to the right of magnesium and silicon further to the right.


Which is the least reactive sodium aluminum or magnesium?

Aluminum is the least reactive among sodium, aluminum, and magnesium. This is because aluminum is more stable due to the presence of a protective oxide layer on its surface, which prevents further reactions. Magnesium is more reactive than both sodium and aluminum.


Why is it extremely unlikely that a new element will be discovered that fits between sodium and magnesium on the periodic table?

What makes each element unique is the number of protons in the nucleus. Sodium has 11 protons and Magnesium has 12 protons. The periodic table is arranged with the number of protons of each element increasing to the right and down the table. For an element to fit between sodium and magnesium it would have to have fewer than 12 protons but more than 11, which is simply not possible.


What has the larger atomic radius sodium or sulfur?

Sodium has a larger atomic radius than sulfur. This is because atomic radius generally decreases as you move from left to right across a period in the periodic table, and sodium is located in the leftmost group while sulfur is farther to the right.


Where is lanthanum located on the periodic table?

Lanthanum is located on the right to the bottom side on the periodic table.


Why is the ionistaion energy of magnesium higher than that of sodium?

because ionization energy increases from left to right on the periodic table. Ionization energy is the amount of energy needed to take an electron away from the atom, or the energy needed to ionize it. Since Sodium is more likely to give up an ion to complete the octet rule, it has a higher ionization energy.


Is magnesium more reactive than nickel?

No chromium is more reactive than chromium because it it located farther right on the periodic table than nickel. No chromium is more reactive than nickel because it it located farther right on the periodic table than nickel. No chromium is more reactive than nickel because it it located farther right on the periodic table than nickel. No chromium is more reactive than nickel because it it located farther right on the periodic table than nickel.
