Explain why CaCl2 is likely to have properties similar to those of CaBr2

Because both compounds (CaCl2 and CaBr2) contain elements (bromine and chlorine) from the same group (group 7)

Explanation:

Elements are organized into groups on the periodic table based on the number of valence electrons contained in their outermost shell. These elements in the same group i.e. same number of valence electrons, will behave in a similar manner chemically.

CaCl2 and CaBr2 are two compounds that contains elements (Chlorine and Bromine) from the same group, which is group 7. Elements in group 7 are called HALOGENS and have 7 valence electrons in their outermost shell.

Bromine (Br) and Chorine (Cl) are responsible for the similarity in the properties of CaCl2 and CaBr2 because the Chlorine and Bromine contained in them will cause them to react similarly and behave similarly in the presence of other compounds.

the right answer is c i just did the question.

explanation:

two years ago, when picking flowers in the mountains back of yosemite valley, i found a book. it was blotted and storm-beaten; all of its outer pages were mealy and crumbly. the paper seemed to dissolve like the snow beneath which it had been buried, however; many of the inner pages were well preserved. and although all were more or less stained and torn, whole chapters were easily readable. this is the condition of the great open book of yosemite glaciers today; its granite pages have been torn and blurred by the same storms that wasted the castaway book.
