Elaborate on what can be learned about the properties by the location of element on the periodic table. Use atomic number 13 as an example. A) It is a non-metal, has 3 valence electrons, becomes a cation with a - 3 charge, and is brittle, moldable, and non-conductive. B) It is a metalloid, has 3 valence electrons, becomes a cation with a - 5 charge, and is workable, inelastic, and non-conductive. C) It is a main group metal, has 3 valence electrons, becomes a cation with a + 3 charge, and is ductile, malleable, and conductive. D) It is a transition metal, has 1 valence electrons, becomes a cation with a + 1 charge, and is ductile, malleable, and conductive. Eliminate
