SHORT ANSWER TYPE QUESTIONS
Question. Use Mendeleev’s periodic table to predict the formulae for the oxides of the following elements : K, C, Al, Si, Ba.
Answer : K belongs to group 1. Therefore, the oxide will be K2O.
C belongs to group 4. Therefore, the oxide will be CO2.
Al belongs to group 3. Therefore, the oxide will be Al2O3.
Si belongs to group 4. Therefore, the oxide will be SiO2.
Ba belongs to group 2. Therefore, the oxide will be BaO.
Question. Na, Mg and Al are the elements of the 3rd period of the Modern Periodic Table having group number 1, 2 and 13 respectively. Which one of these elements has the (a) highest valency, (b) largest atomic radius, and (c) maximum chemical reactivity? Justify your answer stating the reason for each.
Answer :
(a) The element having the highest valency signifies the maximum number of electrons present in the valence shell of an atom. Hence, as per the given electronic configurations, the element having highest valency is aluminium (Al).
(b) As we move across the period, i.e., from left to right the atomic radius decreases. Therefore the element having the largest atomic radius will be sodium (Na).
(c) The given three elements are metals. So, the chemical reactivity of a metal is determined by its metallic character which is the tendency of an atom to lose its electrons. We know that the metallic character of element decreases across the period, i.e., from left to right. So, the element having highest chemical reactivity is sodium (Na)
Question. How it can be proved that the basic structure of the Modern Periodic Table is based on the electronic configuration of atoms of different elements ?
Answer : Modern periodic law states that the physical and chemical properties of an element are the periodic function of the atomic number of that element. Electronic configuration of the elements play an important role in the placement of element in the modern periodic table. The valence shell electron of an element decides its position in a particular group or period for example : if the configuration of an element is 2, 1 it means that the Li = 2, 1 It belongs to the 2nd period and 1st group.
Question. Can the following groups of elements be classified as Dobereiner’s triad :
(a) Na, Si, Cl (b) Be, Mg, Ca
Atomic mass of Be-9; Na-23, Mg-24, Si-28, Cl-35, Ca-40, Justify your answer in each case.
Answer : (a) Na, Si, Cl cannot be classified as Dobereiner’s triad because here the elements do not belong to the same group and have different electronic configuration.
Na– 2, 8, 1; Si – 2, 8, 4 and Cl – 2, 8, 7
(b) Be, Mg, Ca are the elements of Dobereiner‘s triad because the mass of Mg is the arithmetic mean of the other two elements i.e., Be and Ca = (9 + 40)/2
= 24.5.
Question. Write the number of periods and groups in the Modern Periodic Table. How does the metallic character of elements vary on moving (a) from left to right in a period and (b) down a group ? Give reason to justify your answer.
Answer : In the Modern Periodic Table, there are 18 vertical columns known as Groups and 7 horizontal rows known as Periods.
Metallic character : It is defined as the tendency of an atom to lose electrons.
(a) Across the period i.e., from left to right, metallic character decreases.
(b) Down the group i.e., from top to bottom, metallic character increases.
Reason : Across the period, the effective nuclear charge increases, thus decreasing its atomic radius. This favours the electronegativity and therefore the tendency to lose electrons is low. This accounts for the decrease in the metallic character. As we move down the group, the number of shells keep on increasing and therefore the atomic size increases and electronegativity decreases. This enhances the ability to lose electrons and therefore the metallic character increases.

Answer : Sodium (Na), At. number 11, 2, 8, 1
Magnesium (Mg), At. number 12, 2, 8, 2
Aluminium (Al), At. number 13, 2, 8, 3
(a) The element having the highest valency is Al, as it has 3 valence electrons.
(b) The element with the largest atomic radius is Na as left to right atomic radius decreases.
(c) The element with maximum chemical reactivity is Na as metallic character decreases left to right.
Question. What is periodicity in properties of elements with reference to the Modern Periodic Table ? Why do all the elements of the same group have similar properties ? How does the tendency of elements to gain electrons change as we move from left to right in a period ? State the reason of this change.
Answer : The occurrence of the elements with similar properties after certain regular intervals when they are arranged in increasing order of atomic number is called periodicity. The periodic repetition of the properties is due to the recurrence of similar valence shell configuration after regular interval.
The elements in a group have same valence electrons thus similar chemical properties. In a period, tendency to gain electrons increases from left to right. This is due to increase in effective nuclear change and decrease in atomic radius.

Answer the following questions giving reason :
Write the position of P and Q in the Modern Periodic Table and the molecular formula of the compound formed when P reacts with Q.
Answer :
P = 20 : 2, 8, 8, 2
Q = 17 : 2, 8, 7
P = Period 4 and Group 2
Q = Period 3 and Group 17
Hence, formula of the compound formed between P and Q is PQ2.
Question. Name two elements you would expect to show chemical reactions similar to magnesium. What is the basis for your choice ?

Question. (a). How does the electronic configuration of an atom of an element related to its position in the modern periodic table? Explain with one example.
(b)Find the group and period of element with Z=12?
Answer. (a)The position of element depends upon number of valence electrons which depend upon electronic configuration. Those elements which have same valence electrons, occupy same group. Eg; those elements which have one valence electron belong to group 1. Elements with two valence electrons belong to group 2. Period number is equal to number of shells. If valence electrons are equal to 1, it belongs to group 1. If it has 2 shells, it belongs to second period, e.g. if element ‘X’ has atomic number 11, its electronic configuration is 2, 8,1. It has one valence electron, it belongs to group 1 and it has three shells therefore, it is in third period.
(b)Z=12and the configuration is 2,8,2So it should belong to 2 nd group and 3 rd period
