One amazing and useful fact about nature is that different elements and molecules each have a unique pattern of energy
levels available to their electrons. These different patterns lead to different possible energy transitions for each element
or molecule. How might scientists use this fact to identify the elemental composition of a distant star without even
visiting the star?
In the periodic table: Elements in the
same group have the same valence
charges.
O False
O True
(a) Using the periodic table provided, write down the shorthand electron notation for the following three
elements and indicate whether they are active, inactive or intermediate:
Scandium (Sc):
Argon (Ar); Aluminium (Al)
(b) Metals are conductors of electricity whereas insulators such as ceramic materials are not. Using the
honding theory, show and explain why metals are conductors and ceramics are insulators.
(c) Aluminium is a good conductor of electricity. A 100 m aluminium wire of diameter 2.25 mm is to be
used in domestic electrical wiring. If a voltage of 250V and a current of 13 amps are needed,
answer the following
i.
What is the conductivity of the aluminium wire?
ii.
Give two reasons why aluminium wire is not used in domestic wiring in Zambia?
ii.
Give three applications of pure aluminium.
