Chapter 21, Problem 89GQ

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: To identify whether the elements are metal, non-metal or metalloid from sodium to argon in the periodic table.

Concept introduction: The third period of periodic table have elements as follows; sodium, magnesium, aluminium, silicon, phosphorous, sulfur, chlorine and argon.

Metals are the elements which can form positive ions by loosing electrons. Non-metals are the elements which can form negative ions by gaining electrons. Metalloids are elements which shows both properties of metals and non-metals.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: To identify the colour and appearance of third period elements through sodium to argon.

Concept introduction: The colour of element is a physical property of elements. Elements shows colour due to excitation of electrons by absorbing energy.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: To identify the states (solid, liquid and gas) of elements through sodium to argon.

Concept introduction: There are three types of states of matter; solid, liquid and gas. Solids are the substance which have fixed shape and fixed volume. Liquids are the substances which have fixed volume but not fixed shape and gases are the substances which do not have fixed shape and volume.
