Hey guys, doubt.. cant figure out the parts (iii) and (iv). The Q is attached. Thanks a lot in advance...
Okay, I'll start with i)
a)
i)D :2,8,18,
8 - stable
ii)E :2,8,18,8,
1 - Group-I metal, one of the property:low density
iii) Covalent means two non-metals..so select only
non-metals from the table..(except A) B- 2,8,4 and F 2,8,18,18,7
try to bond A with both of them (by drawing the atomic structure)
It is not possible with B, so it has to be F
OR if you want to be sure of your answer draw the bonding between A and F, gives you AF
3iv)its B, always giant covalent structure of diamond has 4 electrons in the valence shell(outermost shell). Hence B
Revise Structure of diamond
v) A
