The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the provided analogies is correct, we need to analyze the terms used for the elements in groups 16 and 17 of the periodic table. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify Group 16 Elements:** - Group 16 elements in the periodic table include oxygen (O), sulfur (S), selenium (Se), tellurium (Te), and polonium (Po). - These elements are commonly referred to as "chalcogens." 2. **Identify Group 17 Elements:** - Group 17 elements include fluorine (F), chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br), iodine (I), and astatine (At). - These elements are known as "halogens." 3. **Analyze the Analogies:** - **First Analogy:** Group 16 elements are called chalcogens, and group 17 elements are called halogens. - This statement is correct. - **Second Analogy:** Group 16 elements are called pyramids, and group 17 elements are called chalcogens. - This statement is incorrect; group 16 elements are not called pyramids. - **Third Analogy:** Group 16 elements are called chalcogens. - This statement is correct but incomplete as it does not mention group 17. - **Fourth Analogy:** Group 16 elements are called chalcogens. - This statement is also correct but again incomplete. 4. **Conclusion:** - The only fully correct analogy is the first one: Group 16 elements are called chalcogens, and group 17 elements are called halogens. ### Final Answer: The correct analogy is: Group 16 elements are called chalcogens, and group 17 elements are called halogens. ---
