Ans : Atomic mas

4. B, Si, Ge and As are the examples of ________________________

Ans : metalloids

5. Example for liquid metal is _________________ .

Ans : mercury

III. Match the following

1. Triads	Newlands
2. Alkali metal	Calcium
3. Law of octaves	Henry Moseley
4. Alkaline earth metal	Sodium
5. Modern Periodic Law	Dobereiner

Ans : 1 – E, 2 – D, 3 – A, 4 – B, 5 – C

IV. State whether True or False

1) Newlands’ periodic table is based on atomic masses of elements and modern periodic table is based on atomic number of elements ( True )

2) Metals can gain electrons ( False )

3) Alloys bear the characteristics of both metals and nonmetals ( True )

4) Lanthanides and actinides are kept at the bottom of the periodic table because they resemble each other but they do not resemble with any other group elements ( True )

5) Group 17 elements are named as Halogens ( True )

V. Assertion and Reason

Statement: Elements in a group generally possess similar properties but elements along a period have different properties.

Reason: The difference in electronic configuration makes the element differ in their chemical properties along a period.

a) Statement is true and reason explains the statement.
b) Statement is false but the reason is correct.

Ans : Statement is true and reason explains the statement.

VI. Answer the following

1. State modern periodic law.

Chemical and Physical properties of elements are periodic functions of their atomic numbers is called modern periodic law

2. What are groups and periods in the modern periodic table?

1. Vertical columns called ‘groups’
2. Horizontal rows called ‘period’

3. What are the limitations of Mendeleev’s periodic table?

• No proper position could be given to the element hydrogen. Non-metallic hydrogen was placed along with metals like lithium (Li), sodium (Na) and potassium (K).
• The increasing order of atomic mass was not strictly followed throughout. Eg. Co & Ni, Te & I
• No place for isotopes in the periodic table

4. State any five features of modern periodic table

• All the elements are arranged in the increasing order of their atomic number
• The horizontal rows are called periods. Tere are seven periods in the periodic table.
• The elements are placed in periods based on the number of shells in their atoms
• Vertical columns in the periodic table starting from top to bottom are called groups. Tere are 18 groups in the periodic table
• Based on the physical and chemical properties of elements, they are grouped into various families.

VII. Complete the following table

Element	Number of electrons	Sub shell electronic configuration
7N	7	1s2 2s2 2p3
9F	9	1s2 2s2 2p5
11Na	11	1s2 2s2 2p6 3s1
17Cl	17	1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p5
18Ar	18	1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6
