Answer 2

all members within any period ---> Answer
Every element in the top row (the first period) has one orbital for its electrons. All of the elements in the second row (the second period) have two orbitals for their electrons. It goes down the periodic table like that. At this time, the maximum number of electron orbitals or electron shells for any element is seven.

Thank you @clara.university :)

Answer 4

1. All member in group VIII only
That would be your noble gases located in group 18 and they all have 8 valence electrons, except He

2. all members within any group.
Group 1: alkali metals, each having 1 valence electron
Group 2: alkaline earth metals, each having 2 valence electrons
Group 3: have 3 valence electrons
etc.....

3. all members within any period
Period 1 only has H and He so it's only one and two valence electrons
Periods 2 and 3 has all members of the 8 groups so it has one to eight valence electrons
Period 4 and onward are impossible to tell because of the transition metals

4. all the nonmetals
the only group the has only nonmetals is group 17
