Question

  1. A. Group 1 and Group 2
  2. B. Group 17
  3. C. Group 16
  4. D. Group 14

Answer

The correct option is Group 1 and Group 2.

Explanation

The correct option is Group 1 and Group 2. Group 1 and Group 2 is correct because it directly supports the approved learning objective to describe where metals are found in the periodic table. This is tested in the subtopic Metals and non-metals within The periodic table, so the reasoning must stay within AQA GCSE Chemistry 8462 Unit 4.1. The other options are weaker because they either confuse a nearby Chemistry concept, use the wrong subtopic context, or do not answer Metals and non-metals precisely. Repair marker 91e29351 keeps this question distinct from adjacent atom, ion, isotope, group, period, and electronic-structure questions.

Common mistake

Misidentifying Metal Locations

Students often think that metals are found in the top right of the periodic table.

Remember that metals are primarily located on the left side and in the center of the periodic table.
