Consider the section of the periodic table given below:
| Group numbers | IA | IIA | IIIA | IVA | VA | VIA | VIIA | 0 |
| 1 | 2 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 | |
| Li | D | O | J | Ne | ||||
| A | Mg | E | Si | H | K | |||
| B | C | F | G | L |
Note: In this table B does not represent boron
C does not represent carbon
F does not represent fluorine
H does not represent hydrogen
K does not represent potassium
You must see the position of the element in the periodic table.
Some elements are given in their own symbol and position in the periodic table, while others are shown with a letter. With reference to the table answer the following:
- Which is the most electronegative?
- How many valence electrons are present in G?
- Write the formula of the compound between B and H.
- In the compound between F and J, what type of bond will be formed?
- Draw the electron dot structure for the compound formed between C and K.
Arrange the following as per instruction given in the bracket.
Cl, F, Br, I (increasing electron affinity)
Choose the word or phrase from the bracket which correctly complete each of the following statement:
Metals are good ................. (oxidising agents/reducing agents) because they are electron ............. (acceptors/donors).
Name or state following with reference to the element of the first three periods of the periodic table.
The non-metallic element present in period 3 other than sulphur and chlorine.
Match the option A and B with the statements (i) and (ii):
| A. metal | (i) The metal that forms two types of ion. |
| B. iron | (ii) An element with electronic configuration 2, 8, 8, 3. |
