The moon's "orbital period" is the length of time it takes the moon to make one

complete revolution around the earth. That period of time is about two days less

than the time it takes for the moon to go through all of its phases.

No, they will have phases similar to our own moon bit on different timescales due to their varying orbital periods.


How many moons will occur in 2014?

The question is a little vague; I'm going to assume you mean full moons. The synodic period (the time between two full moons) averages 29.53 days, which works out to about 12.4 of them per year. In any given calendar year there are either 12 or 13 full moons. 2014 is a "12 full moons" year; 2015 will have 13.

The element argon is the last element in its period What does this tell you about?

Since argon is the last element in its period, it is a noble gas. This means that it has a full outer shell of electrons (specifically a full p orbital), and is not very reactive (at all).
