Solution
(i) Element A
Atomic number = 7 = Number of electrons = 2, 5
Valency of A = 8 - 5 = 3
Element B
Electronic configuration 2, 8, 8
Valency of B = Zero
Element C has 13 electrons
Electronic configuration = 2, 8, 3
Valency of C = 3
Element D
Protons = 18 = Electrons = 2, 8, 8
Valency of D = Zero
Element E
Electronic configuration = 2, 8, 8, 1
Valency of E = 1
(ii) C and E are metals.
(iii) A is a non-metal.
(iv) A, C and E are not inert gases.
