02.  

i)                Melting point is the temperature at which a solid melts to form a liquid.

ii)               Boiling point is a temperature at which a liquid boils to form a vapour.

iii)             Density is the degree of compactness of a substance, which means it is the mass per unit volume of a substance.

iv)             Electronegativity is the ability of an atom to attract electron(s) towards itself.

v)               Ionization energy is the energy required to remove electrons from an atom or ion.

vi)             Atomic radius is the distance between the nucleus of an atom and the outermost shell.

 

03.  (a)

i)                 Group I elements are called alkali metals because they react with water to form an alkaline solution.

ii)               Sodium (Na) is stored under kerosene to prevent it from reacting with air since it is more reactive.

 

(b) Physical properties of members of first group elements (Li, Na and K)

§  They are good conductors of heat and electricity

§  They are soft metals

§  They have low density

§  They have shining surfaces when freshly cut

 

 

04.  (a) when group I metals react with oxygen, a metal oxide is formed

Example: 2Na (s) + O2 (g) à Na2O (s)

            (b) Alkali metals react with water to form alkaline solution and hydrogen gas.

                        Example: 2Na (s) + 2H2O (l) à 2NaOH (aq) + H2 (g)

05.  

i)                The element in Group II, period 2 is Beryllium (Be)

ii)               W = 2 : 2

  I = 2: 4

 C = 2: 6

 K = 2: 8

 L = 2: 8: 3

N = 2: 8: 5

F = 2: 8: 7

 

iii)             3919K

From:

A = P + n

Where:

 A = atomic mass

P = Number of proton/ number of electrons/ atomic number

n = number of neutron

 

39 = 19 + n

n = 20

The number of protons = number of electrons = 19

The number of neutron is 20.

 

iv)             (a) Alkali metal is B

(b) Alkali earth metals are W and E

(c) Metalloid is I

(d) Noble gas is K

(e) Halogen is F
