Q9 This question refers to elements of the periodic table with atomic numbers from 3 to 18. In the table below, some elements are shown by letters, even though the letters are not the usual symbols of the elements.
a) Which of these is
i) a noble gas ii) a halogen iii) an alkali metal iv) an element with valency 4
b) If A combines with F, what would be the formula of the resulting compound
Q10 Sodium and aluminium have atomic numbers 11 and 13, respectively. They are separated by one element in the periodic table and have valencies I and 3 respectively. Chlorine and potassium are also separated by one element in the periodic table (their atomic numbers being 17 and 19, respectively) and yet both have valency 1. Explain.
Q14 The position of elements A, B, C, D and E in the periodic table are shown below
(a) State which is metals, non-metals and noble gas in this table. (b) State which is the most reactive (i) metal (ii) non-metal (c) Which type of ion will be formed by element A, B and C. (d) Which is larger in size (i) D or E (ii) B or C.
