1.	Using the above table answer the following questions : (a) Compare the atomic sizes of B & C. (b) Select the letter/letters which represent alkali metals. (c) Identify the nature of bonds formed by elements of Group 1 and 14. (d) What would be the electronic configuration of element F ? (e) How does the metallic character vary on going from left to right in a period ?
Answer» SOLUTION :(a) Atomic size of C will be smaller than the atomic size of B. (b) A & D are alkali metals. (c) Group 1 elements will form ionic bonds however elements of group 14 will form covalent bonds. (d) Electronic configuration of F is 2, 4. (e) Metallic CHARACTER will decrease will decrease on GOING from left to right in a PERIOD.
