a) B and E
b) D
c) F has smallest atomic radius hence electrons are strongly attracted by
positive nucleus
d) D and G //J and G//D and C//K and G (Any one above award for both)
e) B and C //I and C//E and C (Any one above award for both)

g) Number of neutrons is not equal to the number of protons.
h) K has stronger metallic bonds since it has smaller atomic size hence
more energy is needed to break them.
i) - Add water to the mixture and stir
- Sulphate of K dissolves while lead (II) sulphate does not
- Filter , lead (II) sulphate as the residue while sulphate of K is the filtrate
- Evaporate the filtrate to dryness to obtain solid sulphate of K
