Hello everyone today. We are being asked to identify whether the element indicated in the periodic table below would exist as a solid, a liquid or a gas. So the highlighted element is this purple element here, and we can say that this is going to be in group to a otherwise known as the alkaline earth metals. And the answer is actually in the name itself, it's a metal and so this would most likely exist as a solid. And with that we've answered the question. I hope this helped, and until next time.
