D. Structured questions

1. Following figure shows some elements in the Periodic Table


a) Which elements are present in the same group?

Ans: A and F

b) Which elements are present in the same period?

Ans: A and C, B and D, F and E

c) What is the group number of C?

Ans: IV-A

d) Which elements have same number of electrons in their outermost shell?

Ans: A and F

e) Which element is a noble gas?

Ans: VIII-A

f) Which element is alkaline earth metal?

Ans: II-A

g) In which group element E is present? VA [

Ans: O Group or VIII Group

h) Which element has two electrons in its outermost shell?

Ans: B

2. Element carbon (At. No. 6) is present in Group IV-A in the periodic table.

a) Why is carbon placed in Group IV A in the periodic table?

Ans: Because carbon has four electrons in its outermost shell.

b) How many electrons carbon needs to complete its valence shell?

Ans: Four electrons

c) How many single bonds carbon can make?

Ans: Four single bonds carbon can make.

3. Draw electronic structures of:


a) Oxygen (At. No. 8)

O = 2, 6
Period = 2
Group = VI-A

b) Fluorine (At. No. 9)
O = 2, 7
Period = 2
Group = VII-A

c) Neon (At. No. 10)
O = 2, 8
Period = 2
Group = VIII-A



Write the difference in the electronic structure of these elements.

Ans:  Oxygen, fluorine, and neon all belong to different groups on the periodic table, resulting in distinct electronic structures:

1. Oxygen (O): Atomic number 8. It has 8 electrons with 2 in the first energy level and 6 in the second energy level.
   
2. Fluorine (F): Atomic number 9. It has 9 electrons with 2 in the first energy level and 7 in the second energy level.

3. Neon (Ne): Atomic number 10. It has 10 electrons with 2 in the first energy level and 8 in the second energy level, making it a noble gas with a full outer electron shell.


E. Project work

1. Make an outline of the periodic table on a chart paper. Show the following elements on it some metals with brown colour, halogens with yellow colour, noble gases with red colour and some non-metals with blue colour. 

2. Search and write the commercial uses of noble gases and alkali metals.

Ans:  v

Noble gases, like helium and neon, are used in various commercial applications:

Helium: Used in balloons, airships, and as a coolant in nuclear reactors and MRI machines.

Neon: Used in neon signs, advertising displays, and as a component in high-voltage indicators.

Alkali metals, such as lithium and sodium, also have important commercial uses:

Lithium: Used in rechargeable lithium-ion batteries for electronic devices and electric vehicles, as well as in pharmaceuticals and ceramics.

Sodium: Used in the production of streetlights, fireworks, and certain types of glass, as well as in the chemical industry for various reactions and processes.
