(i) What name is given to the family of elements to which A and C belong?
(ii) Write the chemical formula of the sulphate of element D.
(iii ) Which letter represents the most reactive
(a) Metal
(b) Non-metal
(iv) Name the bond formed when B and H react. Explain your answer.
(v) Select one element that belong to period 4.
(vi) Ionic radius of element E is bigger than the atomic radius. Explain.
(vii) The electron configuration of a divalent anion of element N is 2.8.8. Induce the
position of element N on the periodic table drawn above.
(viii) The oxide of G has a lower melting point than the oxide of L. Explain.
(ix) How do the atomic radii of I and C compare. Explain.
(x) Explain the trend in the 1st ionization energies of the elements J, I and L.

(i) Noble gases
(ii) D2SO4
(iii) (a) Y
(b) E
(iv) Ionic bond – Because B reacts by losing an electron (s) which are gained by H.
(v) D//M
(vi) Because E reacts by gaining an extra electron which reducethe electrostatic
pull by the positive nucleus making the ionic radius increase.
(vii) At Period III Group IV
(viii) Because of the increase in the strength of the molecular bonds in the oxide of L as
compared to that of G.
(ix) C has a smaller atomic radius than I because of the increase in the strength of the
nucleus on the valency electrons in C as the number of protons increase
(x) 1st ionization energies increases from J – L across the period due to addition of an
extra proton in the nucleus increasing the attraction of the valency electrons
