3) Z = 107
[Rn]5f146d57s2

4) Z = 44
Ru: 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d104p65s14d7
Therefore, a total of 17 d electrons.

5) Oxygen: The electronegativity of oxy genis second only to that of fluorine. Elements in group 16's general reactivity is therefore dominated by their abibility to gain electrons.

6) Radium: size increases down a group as there are more subshells.

7) Z = 39
Y: ...
