Answers

1. C
Number of protons in X = 19
Number of neutrons in X X = 39  19 = 20
The electronic arrangement of X atom is 2, 8, 8, 1. X is a Group I element because X has
one outermost shell electron.

2. C
Relative atomic mass of Y = 10 × 19.7% + 11 × 80.3% = 10.8

3. D
Q has a stable octet structure. It forms when P loses one electron.

4. D
Atom Electronic arrangement
Na 2, 8, 1
Mg 2, 8, 2
Si 2, 8, 4
Cl 2, 8, 7

The electronic arrangement of an atom of Z is 2, 7 while the electronic arrangement of a Cl

atom is 2, 8, 7. They have the same number of outermost shell electrons.

5. B
SO2 has a simple molecular structure. CsCl has a giant ionic structure. Cu has a giant metallic
structure.

7. C
The electronic arrangements of the atoms of X and Y are 2, 5 and 2, 8, 7 respectively. In order to
attain an octet structure, each atom of X needs three more electrons while each atom of Y needs
one more electron. Since both X and Y are non-metals, the compound formed between them has
covalent bonds only. The electron diagram of the compound formed is:

8. D
Option (A): refer to the Periodic Table. It shows that the relative atomic mass of Zn is 65.4.
Option (B): the numbers of neutrons in the five stable Zn isotopes are 34, 36, 37, 38 and 40
respectively.
Option (C): the numbers of electrons in both isotopes are the same.
Option (D): the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons in .

11. C
Z is a Group III element. It exists as Z 3+ in its oxide. The formula of the oxide can be worked
out as follows:

Z 3+ O2

= Z2 O3

12. D
Helium atom has a duplet structure. It is monoatomic.

13. C
X forms two covalent bonds with Cl to get an octet structure. So, there are six outermost shell
electrons in X. Thus, Al2X3 forms when X reacts with Al.

14. B
MgCl2 has a giant ionic structure. A large amount of energy is needed to break the strong ionic
bonds between the ions. All the other compounds have simple molecular structures. Only a
small amount of energy is needed to overcome the weak van der Waals’ forces between the
molecules.

15. B
Only chlorine and argon has an atomic number between 13 and 20. Argon is an inert gas.

16. A
O2 has 10 electrons.
Option (B): O2 has 16 electrons.
Option (C): C has 6 electrons.
Option (D): Ca2+ has 18 electrons.

17. B
Cs does not react with noble gases. It reacts with non-metals to form ionic compounds. It reacts
with water to form an alkaline solution.

18. C
The electron diagram of CS2 is:

The S atoms are electrically neutral in CS2. There are four lone pairs of electrons and four bond
pairs of electrons in CS2.

19. A
A hydrogen ion (H+) must have one proton but no electron. It may or may not have a neutron.
