Solution

To complete the sentence, we need to select all the correct options. Let's analyze each option:

  1. Five electrons in the outermost energy level: This statement is not always true. The number of electrons in the outermost energy level can vary depending on the element.

  2. A full valence shell: This statement is generally true. The last element in any period tends to have a full valence shell, which means it has achieved stability by having the maximum number of electrons in its outermost energy level.

  3. The properties of a noble gas: This statement is generally true. The last element in any period often exhibits similar properties to the noble gases, which are known for their stability and lack of reactivity.

  4. The lowest atomic mass because it is a gas: This statement is not always true. The atomic mass of an element is determined by the sum of the masses of its protons, neutrons, and electrons. It is not directly related to whether the element is a gas or not.

Based on the analysis, the correct options are:

  • A full valence shell
  • The properties of a noble gas
