Answers


Maurice
(i) V, has the biggest atomic radius, hence its outermost electron is loosely held

(ii) S is more reactive, has a smaller atomic radius, hence attracts electrons much more readily.

(iii) Alkaline earth metals

(iv) S is smaller , has more electrons in the outermost energy level hence greater nuclear attraction.

(v) Q, has 4e in the outermost energy level hence requires a lot of energy to transfer elections

(vi) formula-TU2

Bond-ionic/electrovalent.
