(a) What type of bond would you expect in the compound formed between H and F. Explain
(b) (i) Which of the elements J and M will have a greater atomic radius? Explain
(ii) Elements F and N are in the same group of periodic table. How do their atomic
radius compare? Explain
(c) An element W has atomic number 15. Indicate the position it would occupy in the table above
(d) What is the name given to elements X – Z?
(e) Why is J used in electric cables where Q is not
(f) P and J are termed as metalloids. What does the term metalloid mean?
(g) How would you expect the reactivity of H and M to compare? Explain

(a) ionic or electrovalent
F is metal and H is non metal.

b) (i) J atomic radius decrease a long a period from left to right nuclear change attraction
increase positive nuclear change increase due to increase in the number of protons.
(ii) F has a smaller atomic radius than N level down the grown.

c) W is group 5 period 3

d) Transition metals.

e) J has 3 valence electrons which and delocalized whole Q has only 2 electron : hence J
has high electrical conductivity due to high number of delocalized electron.

f) The reactions have both metallic and non metal properties

g) H is more reactive than M non metal reactivity increase up the group due to decrease in electro negativity down the group.
