What element is in group 2 and has fewer protons than potassium?

Carbon is the element in the same family as lead with atomic number less than sodium.


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.


Which one has fewer protons Nitrogen or Helium?

The periodic table is a good reference - check out the atomic number ! Helium - 2 protons, Nitrogen - 7 protons


How do two isotopes of an element are similar?

They have the same number of protons in the nucleus and same number of electrons surrounding the nucleus.


Are the number of protons always equal to the number of neutrons?

No, in fact, they rarely are equal. There are different forms of the same type of atom. For example, there are three isotopes of Hydrogen, an element that has one proton. Hydrogen-1 has no neutrons. Hydrogen-2 has one neutron. Hydrogen-3 has two neutrons.

What element has more valence electrons than oxygenfewer valence electrons than neon more protons than sodium but fewer protons than argon?

Neon has 0 valence electrons so it is not possible to have an element with fewer valence electrons. There can, therefore, be no such element.
