A student finds an unlabeled container in the kitchen that is either flour or sugar. Describe a procedure that they could follow to identify the substance and explain how the student could use the properties of the substance to identify it.

you need to take a look at the periodic system in order to sort these elements into pairs that would most likely exhibit similar chemical properties. first, you need to find elements that are found in the same group (groups are vertical in the periodic system), and then to see whether they have the same valence number. if they meet these criteria, they will have similar properties.

the first pair: ne (neon) and kr (krypton), are noble gases found in group 8

the second pair: li (lithium) and k (potassium), found in group 1

the third pair: s (sulfur) and te (tellurium), found in group 6

its first and third is your answer i did the qustion the fourth isnt right
