    The document discusses the chemical properties of elements based on their position in the periodic table. It states that valency remains constant within a group but increases from left to right in a period. Reactivity of metals decreases from left to right in a period as their tendency to lose electrons decreases, but increases down a group as the tendency to lose electrons increases. Reactivity of non-metals increases left to right in a period but decreases down a group as their ability to gain electrons decreases. Elements on the far left and right of periods form basic and acidic oxides respectively, while some in the center are amphoteric or neutral.

    CBSE TEST PAPER-04 CLASS - XI CHEMISTRY (Classification of Elements and Periodicity in Properties) Topic: - Chemical Properties of element [ANSWERS]

    Ans1. Ans2.

    The combining capacity of an element is known as valency. In a group, the valency of an element remains constant while in a period it increases from left to right.

    Ans3. Ans4.

    Noble gases on the extreme right are zero valent. The tendency of an element to lose electrons decreases in going from left to right in a period. Thus the reactivity of metals goes on decreasing in a period from left right.

    Ans5.

    The tendency to lose electrons increases as we go down a group so the reactivity of metals increases down the group.

    Ans6.

    The reactivity of non metals is measured in terms of its tendency to gain electrons to form an ion. The reactivity of non metals increases from left to right in a period whereas reactivity decreases in a group as we go down the group because the tendency to accept electrons decreases down the group.

    Ans7.

    Elements on two extremes of a period easily combines with oxygen to oxides. The normal oxide formed by the element on extreme left is the most basic (eg. Na2O) whereas that formed by the element on extreme right is the most acidic (eg. cl2 O7). Oxides at the centre are however amphoteric (eg. Al2 O3) or neutral (eg. CO).

    Ans8.

    Oxides which behave as acids with bases and as a base with an acid are called amphoteric oxide.

    Ans9.

    Neutral oxides have no acidic or basic properties.

    Ans10. Lithium forms covalent bond which is different from its group members because of its anomalous behaviour Li is small in size, large charge / radius ratio and has high electro negativity value. Also it has only 1s2 2s1 orbital for bonding.
