2) Inert gases do not form ions.
3) Ionisation potential increases across a period, from left to right.
4) Alkali metals are good reducing agents.
5) Conductivity of dilute hydrochloric acid is greater than that of acetic acid.

chlorine.
( X – CHEMISTRY : PG – 01 )
 ii) Will the element in the group to the right of boron group be more or less
metallic? Justify your answer. [2]
b) The electronic configuration of sodium ion is the same as that of neon atom.
What is the difference between the two? [1]
c) Acids dissolve in water to produce positively charged ions. Draw the
electron dot structure of these ions. [2]

Question 6)
1) Arrange Na, Li, K in a) increasing ionisation energy , b) increasing atomic size.
[1]
2) Magnesium chloride is soluble in water but insoluble in acetone, while methane
is insoluble in water but dissolves in acetone. Explain. [2]
3) A solution X turns blue litmus red, so it must contain
( i)______ ( hydronium, hydroxyl ) ions; another solution Y turns red litmus
blue and therefore, must contain (ii)______(hydronium, hydroxyl) ions. When
solution X and Y are mixed the products will be (iii)_______ _____(salt,
hydrogen) and (iv) _____(hydrogen, water) . [2]
