2. Below are 19 of the first 21 elements in the periodic table. Each represented by a
fictitious symbol/ using the information and the symbol given, fit each of these
elements into the proper place in the periodic table. Use the fictitious symbol only,
not the actual symbols.
Oo is the lightest of the inert gas
St is the most active metal in this portion of the periodic table
Nt has a valence of +4 or 4
W has an electronic symbol of W
G isotopes have atomic weights 1, 2, and 3
Ko is in a group 3 and period 2
S is the most active halogen
Uc is in the same period as S and forms a compound with the formula UcS
N is a transition element
M has an electron distribution 1s 2s 2p 3s
Dl is similar to St in properties, but has smaller atomic radius
Io has one less proton than N I in the nucleus
Kq has one of the two highest electron affinities
Ue rarely forms compounds and has 8 valence electrons in th M shell
H also does not normally react with other elements and has 8 electrons less than Ue
Hi - is the smallest ion of valence 2
O is an alkali metal in period 3
Or forms a compound with G with the formula

E has valence electrons 3s 3p
