Based on the electron configuration of the elements in the figure, which would exhibit a chemical behavior most like that of oxygen?
Sulfur. ( Oxygen (O) has two electrons in its first shell and six electrons in its valence shell. Sulfur (S) has two electrons in its first shell, eight electrons in its second shell, and six electrons in its valence shell. Atoms with the same number of electrons in their valence shells exhibit similar chemical behavior. For example, both oxygen and sulfur can form two single covalent bonds with two hydrogen atoms to complete their valence shells).

Molecules that have the same chemical formula (same numbers of each atom) but different three-dimensional shapes are called _____.
isomers
An atom of iron has the atomic number 26. This means that?
it has 26 protons and 26 electrons. (The atoms of a particular element have a unique number of protons in their nuclei, and this number is called the atomic number. Unless otherwise indicated, an atom is neutral in electrical charge, which means that its protons must be balanced by an equal number of electrons. Therefore, since the atomic number tells us the number of protons, it also tells us the number of electrons in an electrically neutral atom).
geometric isomers

This pair of molecules are _____.
not isomers
