Correct answer: Ar
Explanation:
Argon (Ar) is a chemical element that belongs to Group 18 of the modern periodic table, also known as the noble gases. These elements are characterized by their full outer electron shells, making them chemically inert or unreactive.
On the other hand:
- \(F_2\) (Fluorine),
- \(Cl_2\) (Chlorine), and
- \(I_2\) (Iodine)
are all halogens (Group 17 elements), and they are not noble gases.
Which of the following Statements are NOT true about the periodic table?
A. The properties of elements are a function of atomic weights.
B. The properties of elements are a function of atomic numbers.
C. Elements having similar outer electronic configuration are arranged in the same period.
D. An element's location reflects the quantum numbers of the last filled orbital.
E. The number of elements in a period is the same as the number of atomic orbitals available in the energy level that is being filled.
