Answer

L2O\text{L}_2\text{O}

Here are the solutions to your chemistry assignment questions.**

  1. a) Elements K and N have similar properties.
    • Explanation: Both K (2, 8, 2) and N (2, 8, 8, 2) have two valence electrons, placing them in Group 2 of the periodic table. Elements in the same group have similar chemical properties because they have the same number of valence electrons and tend to react in similar ways (e.g., losing 2 electrons to form a +2 ion).
  • b) The most likely formula of the oxide of L is L2O\boxed{\text{L}_2\text{O}}.
    • Explanation: Element L has an electron arrangement of
