(b) On moving down a group, the number of valence electrons remains the same (remains the same/increases/ decreases).
(c) Metals are good reducing agent (oxidising agent/ reducing agent) because they are electron donors (acceptors/donors).
(d) Down the group, electron affinity decreases [increases, decreases, remains same].
(e) Electronegativity across the period increases [increases/ decreases].
(f) Non-metallic character down the group decreases [increases/ decreases].
(g) In a period, increase in electron affinity increases reduction (oxidation/reduction).
(h) On descending a group, decrease (increase/decrease) in ionisation potential as well as electron affinity decreases (increases/decreases) oxidising capacity.
(i) If an element has a low ionization energy then it is likely to be metallic (metallic/non metallic).
(j) If an element has seven electrons in its outermost shell then it is likely to have the smallest (largest/smallest) atomic size among all the elements in the same period.
