How could you increase the atomic number?

So the atomic number increases with each element. The atomic mass is the sum of the protons and neutrons. As the atomic number increases it causes an increase in the atomic mass. However sometimes there is not a corresponding increase in the number of neutrons...

Explanation:

:)) good luck!!!

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
