You work in the special effects department of a movie studio. You are currently working on a superhero movie where the hero is very strong and cannot be hurt by normal weapons such as a sword. In the next scene, the villain is going to hit the hero with a lead pipe. The hero's costume is mostly made of foam and carbon so that is it very light and easy to move around in but will crumble if hit with anything hard. For this scene, a section of the costume needs to be replaced with a different material that will only dent, not crumble, when hit with the pipe. You are on a deadline and look around the props department for ideas, what could you use? A. You find a barrel of phosphorus (P), used as a component in explosive powder.
B. You find sheets of copper (Cu) used in an industrial factory scene.
C. You find a tank of helium (He) used for balloons.
D. You find large discs of chlorine (Cl) used to kill bacteria in pools.

each chemical family is represented as a group or column on the periodic table. based on chemical properties, there are 6 types of chemical families. group 1 represents alkali metals, group 2 represents alkaline earth metals, groups 3 to 12 represent transition metals, groups 13 to 16 represent non-metals and other metals, group 17 represents halogens and group 18 represents noble gases.

the seeing the electronic configuration we can say that the element is fluorine.

fluorine is the most electronegative element in the periodic table.

but by only seeing the configuration we cannot say about its reactivity because we don't know if its configuration after excitation or by addition of electrons.

but if not then, it is the lightest halogen and exists as a highly toxic pale yellow diatomic gas at standard conditions. as the most electronegative element, it is extremely reactive: almost all other elements, including some noble gases, form compounds with fluorine.
