Match the atomic number 2, 4, 8, 15 and 19 with each of the following:
(i) A solid non-metal belonging to the third period.
(ii) A metal of valency 1.
(iii) A gaseous element with valency 2.
(iv) An element belonging to Group 2.
(v) A rare gas.
Arrange as per the instruction :
(i) He, Ar, Ne (Increasing order of the number of electron shells)
(ii) Na, Li, K (Increasing Ionization Energy)
(iii) F, Cl, Br (Increasing electronegativity)
(iv) Na, K, Li (Increasing atomic size).
Give reasons :
(i) Inert gases do not form ions.
(ii) Ionization potential increases across a period — left to right.

(i) The element B would have (lower/higher) metallic character than A.
(ii) The element A would probably have (lesser/higher) electron affinity than B.
(iii) The element A would have (greater/smaller) atomic size than B.
