Argon, atomic number 18, since it is between chlorine and potassium on the Periodic Table of Elements.
The element in group 2 with fewer protons than potassium is beryllium. Beryllium has 4 protons in its nucleus whereas potassium has 19 protons. Both elements are found in group 2 of the periodic table.
Chlorine is more reactive than silicon. Chlorine readily reacts with a variety of elements and compounds to form chlorides, while silicon is less reactive and forms fewer compounds with other elements.
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.
The periodic table is a good reference - check out the atomic number ! Helium - 2 protons, Nitrogen - 7 protons
They have the same number of protons in the nucleus and same number of electrons surrounding the nucleus.
The element in group 2 with fewer protons than potassium is beryllium. Beryllium has 4 protons in its nucleus whereas potassium has 19 protons. Both elements are found in group 2 of the periodic table.
The element described is chlorine. It has 7 valence electrons, which is more than oxygen but fewer than neon. Chlorine has 17 protons, more than sodium but fewer than argon.
Elements that have more protons than chlorine (atomic number 17) but fewer than potassium (atomic number 19) are sulfur (atomic number 16) and argon (atomic number 18). Therefore, the only element that fits this criterion is argon, which has 18 protons.
Chlorine.
Cl Chlorine
The element described would be phosphorus. Phosphorus has 5 valence electrons (more than oxygen) and 15 protons (more than sodium but fewer than argon).
there is no such element
potassium
The element that fits these criteria is sulfur. Sulfur has 6 valence electrons (more than oxygen with 6, fewer than neon with 8), 16 protons (more than sodium with 11, fewer than argon with 18).
The element with 8 fewer protons than calcium is magnesium. Calcium has 20 protons, while magnesium has 12 protons.
The element in question is magnesium. It has 12 protons (more than sodium and less than argon), 2 more valence electrons than oxygen (which has 6), and 8 fewer valence electrons than neon (which has a full valence shell with 8 electrons).
The element in group 16 with more protons than sodium but fewer protons than argon is sulfur (S). Sodium has 11 protons, sulfur has 16 protons, and argon has 18 protons.
