i) Transition metals.
ii) U has larger radius than x. Because x has greater nuclear force of attraction
due to higher no of clectrons and protons hence has reduced radius.
iii) Period 2, group 5.
iv) P – it has the smallest atomic radius hence has greater attraction of the
outermost clectron.
v) Because it is inert hence prevents oxidation of filament.
vi) T3(PO4)2
vii) Simple molecular structure.
