Solution
(i) The electronic configuration of metal (A) is 2, 8, 18, 1. A is copper (Z = 29)
(ii) (A) Copper exposed to air and moisture forms a green layered compound (B) that is copper carbonate.
\[\ce{\underset{\text{(A)}}{2Cu} + O2 + CO2 + H2O-> CuCO3.\underset{\text{(B)}}{Cu(OH)2}}\]
(iii) Copper (A) reacts with conc.H2SO4 to give copper sulphate (C) and Sulphur dioxide (D).
\[\ce{\underset{\text{(A)}}{Cu} + conc.2H2SO4->\underset{\text{(C)}}{CuSO4} + \underset{\text{(D)}}{SO2↑} + 2H2O}\]
| A | Copper | Cu |
| B | Copper carbonate | \[\ce{CuCO3.Cu(OH)2}\] |
| C | Copper sulphate | CuSO4 |
| D | Sulphur dioxide | SO2 |
