a) Give reasons why the melting point of:
i) S is higher than that of R;
ii) V is lower than that of U.
b) How does the reactivity of W with chlorine compare with that of R with chlorine? Explain
c) Write an equation for the reaction between T and excess oxygen.
d) Give one use of element V.

John
a) i)S has many delocalized electrons than R hence has strong metallic bonds. Bigger and have strong van der waal’s than those of V.

b) W reacts vigorously with chlorine than R. This is because W has a bigger atomic radius hence its outer
electron held strongly and can therefore be easily lost

c) $4T(s) + 5O_2(g) \rightarrow 2T_2O_5(g)$

d) It is used to fill light bulbs to prevent oxidation of the filament.
