ANSWERS
​(a) 2.8.4
(b) period 3, group 8
(c) E has a bigger atomic radius than A / the valence electrons of element E are further from the nucleus, hence loosely held by the positive nucleus and requires less energy to be removed during reaction.
OR
A has a smaller atomic radius than E / the valence electrons of element
A are closer to the nucleus, hence strongly held by the positive nucleus and requires more energy to be removed during a reaction.

(a) Element U has atomic number 12 while element V has atomic number 16. How do the melting points of their oxides compare? Explain. 
ANSWERS
  • The oxide of U has higher melting point than the oxide of V;
  • -This is because the oxide of U is a solid with ionic bonds hence requires a lot of energy to melt;
  • -The oxide of V is a gas hence requires little energy to melt/break molecular forces of attraction.

Picture
​(a) Explain the trend in first ionisation energy from A to C. 
(b) Write the electronic configuration for the ion of C. 
ANSWERS
(a) Ionisation energy decreases down the group 1 elements.
 This is because atomic radii increases from A to C (down the group) /outermost electron is far from nucleus hence requires less energy to be lost during reaction.
(b)Electron configuration of ion of C- 2.8.8

(b) Explain why the boiling point of iodine is much higher than that of chlorine. 
ANSWERS
(a) Bromine M
At room temperature (25°C), Bromine is liquid since its MP and BP is between -7 and 59
(b) Atomic mass of iodine is higher than that of chlorine.
 Van der waal’s forces are stronger in iodine than chlorine hence iodine’s BP is higher than that of chlorine.
