Q4. Two different elements A and B have atomic number 12 and 14 respectively, Write
down:
Q5. Chlorine, bromine and iodine elements were put in one group on the basis of the
similar properties:
A boy has reported the radii of Cu, Cu+ and Cu2+ as 0.96A°, 1.22A° and 0.72A° respectively.
However, it has been noticed that he interchanged the values by mistake. Assign correct values
to different species.
Q7. Account for the difference in size of Na+ (0.96A°) and Mg2+ (0.65A°) both of which have
the same number of electrons.
Q8. In group 1 of the Periodic table, three elements X, Y and Z have ionic radii 1.33A°,
0.95A°and 0.60A° respectively. Giving a reason arrange them in the order of increasing
atomic numbers in the group.
Q9. For each of the following pairs, predict which one has greater ionization energy and
greater electron affinity?
1. I, I-
2. B, C
3. Li, Li+
Q10. Select the correct order of radii of three species : Ca, Ca + and Ca2+ : Assign suitable
reason.
1. How does ionization potential vary across the period represented by the elements
sodium to argon?
2. What change occurs in electronegativity going down the group of alkali metals from
lithium to caesium?
3. Describe the change in metallic character associated with moving
across a period,
down a group.
Short Answer
1. During the nineteenth century many claims were made regarding the discovery of new
elements. In the end there were more elements than spaces available in the Periodic
Table. What unique feature of each element determines its position in the Periodic Table
and assures us that no new element remains to be discovered?
2. What feature of atomic structure accounts for the similarities in properties of the
halogen?
Q14. (a) This question refers to group VII A or halogens of the Periodic Table.
