Which of the fill doesn't influence the trend in properties of elements on the periodic table

Why do sodium and neon have vastly different chemical and physical properties despite having similar atomic masses?

Harvey kept a balloon with a volume of 348 milliliters at 25.0˚c inside a freezer for a night.  when he took it out, its new volume was 322 milliliters, but its pressure was the same.  if the final temperature of the balloon is the same as the freezer’s, what is the temperature of the freezer? the temperature of the freezer is  kelvins.

Modern pennies are composed of zinc coated with copper. a student determines the mass of a penny to be 2.482 g and then makes several scratches in the copper coaling (to expose the underlying zinc). the student puts the scratched penny in hydrochloric acid, where the following reaction occurs between the zinc and the hcl (the copper remains undissolved): zn(s) + 2 hcl(aq) → h2(g) + zncl(aq)the student collects the hydrogen produced over water at 25 °c. the collected gas occupies a volume of 0.899 l at a total pressure of 79 j mmhg. calculate the percent zinc (by mass) in the penny. (assume that all the zn in the penny dissolves.)
