Atoms contain positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons. Why does an ordinary atom have no charge?

Atoms contain positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons. The atoms contain the same number of protons and electrons so the positively charged protons balance out the negatively charged electrons. Therefore, an atom is electrically neutral because it has no charge.

you need to take a look at the periodic system in order to sort these elements into pairs that would most likely exhibit similar chemical properties. first, you need to find elements that are found in the same group (groups are vertical in the periodic system), and then to see whether they have the same valence number. if they meet these criteria, they will have similar properties.

the first pair: ne (neon) and kr (krypton), are noble gases found in group 8

the second pair: li (lithium) and k (potassium), found in group 1

the third pair: s (sulfur) and te (tellurium), found in group 6
