Oxygen, O, (number 8), sulfur, S, (number 16), and selenium, Se, (number 34) have such similar chemical properties because
 
  A) their outermost shells contain the same number of electrons.
  B) because they are all located close to one another in the periodic table.
  C) they all have the same number of occupied shells.
  D) These elements can't have similar chemical properties because they are in different periods of the periodic table.

Question 2

  A) It is the outermost shell of electrons in an atom.
  B) It is the shell of electrons in an atom that is the least reactive.
  C) It is the last partially filled orbital in an atom.
  D) It is the shell of electrons in element V (atomic no. = 23).
  E) It is the same as the orbital configuration.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).

When Gabriel Fahrenheit invented the first mercury thermometer, he called "zero degrees" the lowest temperature he was able to attain with a mixture of ice and salt. For the upper point of his scale, he used 96°, which he measured as normal human body temperature (we know it to be 98.6° today because of more accurate thermometers).
