You are planning on making punch and you would like to cool it with ice. At the store, there are 2 different one-pound bags of ice to choose from:

one that contains large ice cubes

one that contains small ice chips.

You only want to purchase one bag of ice and will add the entire bag to the punch.

Would one of the bags cool the punch at a faster rate? If so, which one and
why? If not, why?

Would one of the bags of ice cool the punch to a lower temperature? If so,
which one and why? If not, why?

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
