(ii) Compare the ionic radius of C and E. Explain.

(iii) Write the formular of the compound formed between element G and H.

(iv) In terms of structure of bonding, explain why the oxides of D has a lower melting point than that of G.

(v) Write an equation to show the action of heat on nitrates of F and G.

  

Answers


Maurice
(i) A or D

(ii) E has got smaller atomic radius than C, because across the periodic there is an extra-added nuclear charge in the nucleus which strongly pull the valence electrons in E in C, thus reducing it s atomic radius.

(iii)G2+ x H-1

GH2

(iv) Oxide of D has a weak covalent bond within its structure, with simple molecular structure, while that of G has strong ionic / Electrovalent bond with Giant ionic structure.
