Arrangement of elements — practice question

The elements are ordered in the Periodic Table into groups and periods.
(a(i))[1]

Describe how the metallic character of the elements changes as you move from left to right across a period.

(a(ii))[2]

The elements in Group I are called the alkali metals. Describe two trends in their properties as you go down Group I.

(b(i))[2]

Aqueous chlorine reacts with aqueous sodium bromide to make aqueous bromine and aqueous sodium chloride. Complete the symbol equation for this reaction. $\text{Cl}_2 + [BLANK]\text{NaBr} \rightarrow [BLANK] + 2\text{NaCl}$

(b(ii))[1]

Suggest why aqueous iodine does not react with aqueous sodium bromide.

(b(iii))[2]

Complete the dot-and-cross diagram in Fig. 3.1 for a molecule of iodine. Show only outer shell electrons.

(c)[2]

Name the product made at each electrode.

(d(i))[1]

Label Fig. 3.2 to indicate where the silver is deposited.

(d(ii))[1]

State why objects are electroplated.
