Chapter 2, Problem 2.5VP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The highlighted elements in the periodic table given in Figure P2.5 are to be categorized as a reactive nonmetal, a chemically inert gas and a reactive metal.

Concept introduction: The periodic table of elements depicts the arrangement of all the known chemical elements. Elements in the periodic table are arranged from top to bottom and from left to right in an increasing atomic number order. The reactivity of the metals increases as we move down the periodic table and decreases as we move from left to right. This table divides the elements into three groups, namely metals, nonmetals and metalloids. Metals occupy a larger area in the periodic table of elements.

To determine: A reactive nonmetal among the highlighted elements in the given periodic table.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: A chemically inert gas among the highlighted elements in the given periodic table.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: A reactive metal from the highlighted elements in the given periodic table.
