sharon
(a) Period II
Has two energy levels
(b) Atomic radius of W is smaller than that of Y
Across the period, electrons are added to the same energy level but the number of
protons in the nucleus increases thus increasing the effective nuclear charge
(c ) VX
(d) Ionic. V ionises by losing three electrons to form V3+ while Z ionizes
by gaining an electron to form Z-
(e) U+ , U, U-
Increasing order of size
(f) Y2- Has a noble gas structure
(g) (i) WO2
(ii) V2O3
