(a) Explain why the melting point of magnesium is higher than that of iodine,
although they are both solids.

(4 marks)

(b) Chlorine and iodine are in the same group of the periodic table. Yet their
physical states are different at room temperature. Explain this difference in
physical state.

(2 marks)

(c) Magnesium combines with chlorine to form magnesium chloride.

(i) What type of bonding would you expect to be formed when magnesium
combines with chlorine?

(1 mark)

(ii) By using a suitable diagram, show how these two elements combine to form
magnesium chloride.
 (3 marks)

(d) Explain why magnesium chloride conducts electricity when molten but NOT
when solid.

(2 marks)

(e) Iodine and chlorine both belong to Group 7 of the periodic table. They combine to
form iodine monochloride, ICl. Predict the type of bonding in iodine monochloride.
Illustrate your answer with a suitable diagram.

2. Table 3 shows part of the periodic table.

 Use only the elements indicated in Table 3 to answer the questions which follow. Each
element may be used once, more than once or not at all.
(a) (i) Which element reacts most readily with dilute hydrochloric acid?

(1 mark)

(ii) Write a balanced equation to illustrate the reaction occurring in (a)(i)

above.

(2 marks)

(iii) Describe any difference(s) that may be observed in the reaction indicated
in (a)(i) above, if dilute sulphuric acid were to be used instead of dilute
hydrochloric acid. Give a reason for your answer.

(4 marks)

(b) (i) Identify TWO different elements in Table 3 which will combine by covalent
bonding.

(1 mark)

(ii) Draw dot-cross diagrams to illustrate the bonding in (b)(i) above.

(3 marks)
(c) (i) An element X (not the actual symbol) has an atomic number of 19. Place
element X in the correct position in Table 3. (1 mark)
(ii) Give a reason for your answer in (c)(i).
