You must see the position of the element in the periodic table.
Some elements are given in their own symbol and position in the periodic table, while others are shown with a letter. With reference to the table;
i) Which is the most electronegative?
ii) How many valence electrons are present G?
iii) Write the formula of the compound between B and H.
iv) In the compound formed between F and J, what type of bond will be formed? Covalent
v) Draw the electron dot structure for the compound formed between C and K : diagram
Solution
Long Answer
i) J is the most electronegative.
ii) Five valence electron are present in G.
iii) B2H
iv) If the compound formed between F and J then the covalent bond is formed.
v)
