What is true about the element francium (Fr, atomic number 87)? More than one can be true.
A. It has seven valence electrons.
B. It is likely to form ionic bonds.
C. It is in Period 7.
D. It is a nonmetal.
E. It is a metal.
Answer (2)
the answers are C and E
The true statements about francium are that it is likely to form ionic bonds (B), is in Period 7 (C), and is classified as a metal (E). It has one valence electron, which makes it not true that it has seven valence electrons (A) or is a nonmetal (D). Therefore, options B, C, and E are the correct choices.
