(a) Transition elements// Transmission metals

(b) Y + e ? Y-

(c) - The atomic radius is larger than the ionic radius because the outermost energy level is destroyed as the atom forms the ion // The atomic radius is larger because atom has more energy levels than ion.

(d) The outermost electron in V is loosely held because of the large atom but in D it is strongly held because of smaller atom // small size.

(e) Alkaline Earth metals.

(f) 2: 8 : 3

(g) i) Giant Ionic structure
ii) - It is soluble in water

- It has high melting point
(h) TY2
(i) Increases because of increase in number of free mobile electrons on the outermost energy level.
