I have 4 oribitals and 6 valence electrons Which element am i?

answer choices
a. Lead (Pb) I’m a metal
b. Selenium (Se) i’m metal
c. Lead (Pb) I’m a nonmetal
d. selenium (Se) I’m a non metal

d. selenium (Se) I’m a non metal

Explanation:

What we know about the element in view is that it has:

              4 orbitals

              6 valence electrons

The orbitals are the energy levels in the element.

Valence electrons are the outermost shell electrons.

The orbitals tells us the periods in which an element belongs. Since we have 4 orbitals, this suggests that our element belongs to the 4th period.

The number of valence electrons tells us the group in which the element could be found. Since we have 6 valence electrons, the group number is 6.

Therefore, the element is period 4 and group 6 is selenium. Selenium is a non-metal.

in 1783 cavendish was working with his hydrogen gas and found that when he burned it and condensed the vapor it was water. this was very significant since it disproved the greek theory of elements completely since water was not a simple substance but the product of two gases. it was lavoisier who hearing of the experiment gave cavendish's gas the name hydrogen ("water-producer") and added that hydrogen burned by combining with oxygen and that water was a hydrogen-oxygen combination.
