FA 3 WORKSHEET - 35 Marks
PERIODIC TABLE
SECTION A | 10 Marks
1. Which statement is correct for the element of proton number 19?
a. It is a gas that dissolves in water.
b. It is a hard metal that is not very reactive with water.
c. It is a non-metal that burns quickly in air.
d. It is a soft metal that is highly reactive with water.
2. Which information about an element can be used to predict its
chemical properties?
a. boiling point
b. density
c. melting point
d. position in the Periodic Table
3. An element does not conduct electricity and exists as diatomic
molecules. In which area of the Periodic Table is the element to be
found?

4. An inert atmosphere is needed in a lamp to lengthen the useful life of


the metal filament. Why is argon, rather than helium, used for this
purpose?
5. Part of the Periodic Table is shown. Which element is a gas that does
not form a compound with potassium?

6. Rubidium is a Group I metal. Which statement about rubidium is not


correct?
a. It has a higher melting point than lithium.
b. It has one electron in its outer shell.
c. It reacts vigorously with water.
d. It reacts with chlorine to form rubidium chloride, RbCl .
7. X is a Group I metal. Y and Z are Group VII elements. When X reacts
with Y a salt is formed. A solution of this salt reacts with Z to form a
different salt. What are X, Y and Z?

8. The diagrams show the labels of four bottles. Which label is not
correct?

9. Which element will be less reactive than the other members of its
group in the Periodic Table?
a. astatine
b. caesium
c. fluorine
d. rubidium
10. W, X, Y and Z are elements in the same period in the Periodic Table.
W and Y are metals. X and Z are non-metals. Which shows the correct
order of these elements across the period?
