i. Arrange the element, Na, P and Cl according to the size of the atoms that
decrease. Explain your answer. (5 marks)
ii. Arrange the elements Na, P and Cl following their increasing
electronegativity. (4 marks)
iii. State two chemical properties of sodium.
Show the reaction involved. (7 marks)
(b) “Iron is a transitional element.”
State the properties that support the above statement. (4 marks)
JAWAPAN
1 (a) (i) - Na, P, Cl
Decreasing in the size of the atom 1
- Every atom of the element Na, P
and Cl have 3 shell with 1
electrons.
- The nuclear positive charge
increase as the period moves from
left across to the right period. 1
- Therefore the pulling force of the
nucleus on the electrons of the
three shells become stronger from
6. Na, P and Cl. 1
- Because of this, the size of the
atom decrease from Na, P to Cl. 1
(ii) - Na,P,Cl
Increasing electronegativity 1
- The nuclear positive charge
increase from Na to Cl. 1
- The sizeof the atom becomes
smaller from Na to Cl. 1
- Because of its strength, the
nucleus can attract more electrons
by Na to Cl. 1
(iii) 1.Reaction with water
- Sodium react actively with water
and produces a loud pop sound. 1
- A solution which turns red litmus
paper blue is produced. 1
- Equation of the reaction :
2Na + 2H2O 2NaOH + H 1
2. Reaction with oxygen
- Sodium burns quickly with a
bright yellow flame. 1
- A white solid is produced and
dissolves in water. The solution
turns red litmus blue. 1
- Equation of the reaction :
4Na + O2 2Na2O 1
Na2O + H2O 2NaOH 1
(b) - Iron forms a coloured compound
e.g. ferric(III) chloride, which is
reddish brown in colour. 1
- Iron has different oxidation
number. 1
Example: The oxidation number
of iron in ferrous(II) chloride is
+2 while in ferric(III) chloride is
+3. 1
- Iron can form complex ions e.g.
ion [Fe(CN)6]4- 1
