Question at position 23: How many electrons should tellurium (Te) have around its Lewis Dot model?
Options: 1, 3, 5, 2, 6, 4

Option 1: '1' — Tellurium is a nonmetal in group 16, and it does not have only one valence electron. A single valence electron would be uncharacteristic of its chemical family, so this is not correct.

Option 3: '3' — Three valence electrons would place Te outside its typical group behavior; elements in group 16 commonly have six valence electrons, not three, making this unlikely.

Option 5: '5' — Five valence electrons are not consistent with Te's group placement; group 16 elements generally complete their outer shell with six electrons, so this is not the standard Lewis count for Te.

Option 2: '2' — Two valence electrons would be more typical of a group 2 (alkaline earth) element, not Te, which belongs to group 16. This misplaces the element's valence pattern.

Option 6: '6' — Tellurium is in group 16 of the periodic table, which means its outer (valence) shell tends to have six electrons. In Lewis dot notation, Te commonly shows six electrons around the symbol, representing its six valence electrons from the p and s orbitals of its outer shell. This aligns with the standard valence expectation for chalcogens like Te.

Option 4: '4' — Four valence electrons would not match Te's group 16 trend, making this an incorrect depiction of its Lewis structure.

Overall, the choice matching the conventional Lewis dot model for tellurium is the one showing six valence electrons around Te, reflecting its group 16 placement and typical valence configuration.
