Chapter 4 : Periodic Table of elements

1. (a) R and T (1m)

Electron configuration of R is 2.7 and for T is 2.8.7.
They belong to the same Group because they have seven valence electrons each. (1m)

(b) (i) Group 14 (ii) Period 2

(c) (i) S and U (1m)

(ii) P, Q, R and T. (1m)

(d) S

(e) (i) U
(ii) 2U(s) + 2H2O(l)  2UOH(aq) + H2(g)

(f) S3+

(g) (i) Electro negativity is a measurement of the strength / tendency of an element to

attract electron to itself.

(ii) R is more electro negative.

(iii) The atomic radius of element R is smaller than the atomic radius of element T.
(1m)
Therefore, the strength to attract one electron into the outermost shell by the
nucleus of R is stronger. (1m)

(h) (i) T
(ii) Atoms of elements S and T have 3 shells occupied with electrons. (1m)
Proton number of T is more than S causes T has more positive charge in the nucleus.
(1m)
Nuclei attraction on the electrons of the first 3 shells of atom T is stronger causes
the atomic size smaller. (1m)
