An element X has mass number 40 and contains 21 neutrons in its atom. To which group of the Periodic Table does it belong?


An element X (atomic number 17) reacts with an element Y (atomic number 20) to form a divalent halide.

  1. Where in the periodic table are elements X and Y placed?
  2. Classify X and Y as metal (s), non-metal (s) or metalloid (s)
  3. What will be the nature of oxide of element Y? Identify the nature of bonding in the compound formed
  4. Draw the electron dot structure of the divalent halide

  1. Electropositive nature of the element(s) increases down the group and decreases across the period
  2. Electronegativity of the element decreases down the group and increases across the period
  3. Atomic size increases down the group and decreases across a period (left to right)
  4. Metallic character increases down the group and decreases across a period.

On the basis of the above trends of the Periodic Table, answer the following about the elements with atomic numbers 3 to 9.

  1. Name the most electropositive element among them
  2. Name the most electronegative element
  3. Name the element with smallest atomic size
  4. Name the element which is a metalloid
  5. Name the element which shows maximum valency.

Arrange the following as per instruction given in the bracket.

Mg, Cl, Na, S, Si (decreasing order of atomic size)
