Section B (20m)
4. (a) The electron arrangement of P atom is 2.4. (1m)
- and Q atom is 2.6. (1m)
- Q atom is in group 16 because (1m)
- it has 6 valence electrons and (1m)
- it is in period 2 because (1m)
- it has 2 shells occupied with electrons. (1m)
(b) Ionic bond (6m)
- X atom has 7 valence electrons and Y atom has 2 valence electrons. (1m)
- These electron arrangements are unstable. (1m)
- To achieve a stable electron arrangement, Y atom donates 2 valence electrons and
form Y2+ ion. (1m)
- 2 atoms X receive one electron each and form X- ions. (1m)
- Y2+ ion and X- ions are attract to each other (1m)
- to form an ionic compound with formula YX2. (1m)

Covalent bond (4m)

-

W atom has 4 valence electrons and X atom has 7 valence electrons. (1m)
2

(c)

To achieve a stable electron arrangement, one W atom share 4 valence with 4 atom
X. (1m)

They will form 4 single covalent bond (1m)

With a formula WX4 (1m)
