Answers


Maurice
a) i) A and E or C and D

ii) A, B and C

iii) Alkaline earth metals if A and E or
halogens if C and D

b) Atomic radius of B is smaller than that of A. B has
stronger nuclear charge due to more protons hence
pull the energy levels closer to the nucleus
compared to A which has less protons

c) - making aircrafts parts since its light
- making electrical cables since it is a
better conductor of electricity
- extraction of metals like iron

d) D is more reactive than C, D has smaller atomic
radius hence can attract the incoming electron more
easily compared to C which has a larger atomic radius

e) AD2

f) Ionic bond
There is complete transfer of electrons from E to
oxygen
