ICSE chemistry

Question 1

Give reason as to why:

The oxidising power of element increases on moving from left to right along a period in the period in the periodic table.

Solution

The oxidising power of elements increases on moving left to right along a period in the periodic table because electronegativity and the non-metallic character increases from left to right.

Question 2

Fill in the blanks from the choices given below:

Across a period, the ionisation potential …………….(increases, decreases, remains same)

Solution

increases

Question 3

Fill in the blanks from the choices given below:
Down the group, electron affinity…………….(increases, decreases, remains same).

Solution

Decreases

  • 18

Solution

A.

1
