(a) The electronic configuration of five elements represented by the letters P, Q, R, S and T are indicated below.
P - 1s\(_2\)2s\(_2\)2p\(_2\)
Q 1s\(_2\)2s\(_2\)2p\(_4\)
R 1s\(_2\)2s\(_2\)2p\(_6\)
S - 1s\(_2\)2s\(_2\)2p\(_6\)3s\(_2\)
T - 1s\(_2\)2s\(_2\)2p\(_6\)3s\(_2\)3p\(_5\)

without identifying the elements, state which of them
(i) belongs to group VI in the periodic table;
(ii) is strongly metallic in character;
(iii) readily ionizes by gaining one electron;
(iv) contains two unpaired electrons in the ground state atom
(v) readily loses two electrons during chemical bonding
(vi) Does not paricipates in chemical reactions?
(vii) is an s-block element.

(b)(i) Copy and complete the table below as appropriate
Particle Number of Protons Number of Electrons Number of Neutrons
\(^1_1H\) 1 1
\(^{27}_{13}\)Al\(^{3+}\)
\(^{16}_{8}O^{2+}\) 8




(ii) Give the reason why atomic radius increases down a group in the periodic table but decreases from left to right in a period.

(c)(i) What is meant by the half-life of a radioactive element?
(ii) The nuclide \(^{210}_{84}PO\) loses an alpha 4° particle to form lead. Write an equation for the reaction.

(d) State the type of chemical bonding which accounts for each of the following observations:
(i) Chlorine exists as discrete molecules
(ii) Sodium chloride dissolves readily in water;
(iii) CuSO\(_{4(aq)}\) forms a deep blue complex ion with excess NH\(_{3(aq)}\)
