Class 10SciencePeriodic Classification of ElementsMix Examples - Periodic Classification of Elements
DifficultStudy the following table in which positions of six elements $A, B, C, D, E$ and $F$ are shown as they are in the modern periodic table:
Group $\to$ $1$ $2$ $13$ $14$ $15$ $16$ $17$ $18$ Period $2$ $A$ - - - $B$ - - $C$ Period $3$ - - $D$ $E$ - - - $F$
On the basis of the above table,answer the following questions:
$(i)$ Name the element which forms only covalent compounds.
$(ii)$ Name the element which is a metal with valency three.
$(iii)$ Name the element which is a non-metal with valency three.
$(iv)$ Out of $D$ and $E$,which is bigger in size and why?
$(v)$ Write the common name for the family to which the elements $C$ and $F$ belong.
| Group $\to$ | $1$ | $2$ | $13$ | $14$ | $15$ | $16$ | $17$ | $18$ |
| Period $2$ | $A$ | - | - | - | $B$ | - | - | $C$ |
| Period $3$ | - | - | $D$ | $E$ | - | - | - | $F$ |
On the basis of the above table,answer the following questions:
$(i)$ Name the element which forms only covalent compounds.
$(ii)$ Name the element which is a metal with valency three.
$(iii)$ Name the element which is a non-metal with valency three.
$(iv)$ Out of $D$ and $E$,which is bigger in size and why?
$(v)$ Write the common name for the family to which the elements $C$ and $F$ belong.
(N/A) $(i)$ Element $E$ (Carbon group,valency $4$) forms only covalent compounds.
$(ii)$ Element $D$ is in Group $13$ (Period $3$),which is Aluminum $(Al)$. It is a metal with a valency of $3$.
$(iii)$ Element $B$ is in Group $15$ (Period $2$),which is Nitrogen $(N)$. It is a non-metal with a valency of $3$.
$(iv)$ $D$ is bigger in size than $E$. Across a period from left to right,the atomic size decreases due to an increase in effective nuclear charge.
$(v)$ Elements $C$ and $F$ belong to Group $18$,which are known as Noble gases.
$(ii)$ Element $D$ is in Group $13$ (Period $3$),which is Aluminum $(Al)$. It is a metal with a valency of $3$.

$(iv)$ $D$ is bigger in size than $E$. Across a period from left to right,the atomic size decreases due to an increase in effective nuclear charge.
$(v)$ Elements $C$ and $F$ belong to Group $18$,which are known as Noble gases.
