Answer 2

@Somy I'm just not sure what the numbers are for, and if they're for the periodic table. I have no idea how the periodic table works because no one ever taught it to me. I guess I'm just a little confused as to what exactly needs to happen to get this done.

Answer 3

ah alright i'll teach you then

Answer 4

Answer 6

family 18
is basically group 8
noble gases

Answer 7

those are the atoms/elements that are originally in full octet state

Answer 8

in other words they have 8 electrons on their last shell
(except Helium because maximum number of electrons Helium can fill up is 2 and it already has that much thus also is in that group)

Answer 9

do you get it so far?

Answer 10

Yes. So the 18 group thingy is the purpley blue spot at the end?

Answer 11

yes the last column

Answer 12

Okay. Another question. Is there a reason I'd be writing about the 1-17 family not bonding with the 18 family thing? Like do they not bond well together, or what?

Answer 13

yep im coming to it
question for you
how does a bond form? in general
what kind of bonds do u know of?

Answer 14
