Q.2 2.1a. 3

b. fizzing/ gas produces

2
change in temperature/ temperature decreased

2.2.a. i. tube 1 1
ii. rusting 1

iii. 1. Water 1
2. Oxygen from air/ air

iv. Iron + water + oxygen Hydrated iron oxide 2

Q.3 3.1. a 4

pg. 1
 b. The number of electrons in the outer most shell represent the group 2
number that the element belongs to.

3.2.a. The size of the atoms decrease as we go from left to right across the 2
periods in the periodic table due to more attraction between nucleus and
the electrons which increase as we go from left to right.

b.i. boiling point decrease as we go down group 2 1

ii. Lower than strontium 1

iii. reactivity increase down / density increase down / metals/ good 1

conductors/ malleable/ductile/they form +2 ions

iv. Alkaine Earth metals 1

Q.4. 4.1.a. magnesium + sulfuric acid magnesium sulfate + hydrogen 2

b. Exothermic reaction 1

4.2.a. 13 e 1

b. G3 1

c. Its good conductor of electricity 1

4.3.a. due to less attraction between particles 1

b. they are good conductors/ malleability/ ductility/ shiny 1

c.
2

Q.5 5.1.a. i. 7 1

pg. 2
 ii. physical state: solid 1
colour: black 1

iii. Astatine + Hydrogen Hydrogen astatide 2

iv. Astatine is less reactive than iodine because of weaker forces between 2
outer shell electrons and nucleus because they get further.

v. molecules that have two atoms of the same element 1

Q.6 6.1.a. 3

6.2. i. fizzing /gas produced/ 2

flame/ floating

ii. Hydrogen 1
flame test/ fire

iii. they have the same number of electrons in their outer most shell 2
