CBSE TEST PAPER-05

SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY (Class-10) Chapter 5. Periodic Classification of Elements 1. Which of the two, Cl or Br- is larger in size? (1 mark) 2. State main characteristics of the last elements in the periods of the periodic table? (1 mark) 3. Name the chemically least active element in the given triad: Li, Na, K. (1 mark) 4. As we move vertically downwards in a group of the periodic table, what happen to the size of atom? (1 mark) 5. How does the electronic configuration of an atom relate to its position in the Modern Periodic Table? (2 marks) 6. Why chlorine and bromine are kept in the same group of the periodic table. (2 marks) 7. Explain why atomic number is more important than atomic weight in determining chemical properties. (2 marks) 8. Why does the size of the atoms progressively become smaller when we move from sodium (Na) to chlorine (Cl) in the third period of the periodic table? (2 marks) 9. Explain why (3 marks) (i) All the elements of a group have similar chemical properties? (ii) All the elements of a period have different chemical properties? 10. Why is atomic number of an element more important than atomic mass to know the properties of the element? (3 marks) 11. Explain why, the first period of the modern periodic table has only two elements whereas second period has eight elements. (3 marks) 12. Compare the arrangement of elements in Mendeleevs Periodic Table and Modern Periodic Table. (5marks ) Or Two elements X and Y belongs to group 1 and 2 respectively in the same period. Compare them with respect to: (i)The number of valence electrons (ii) Valency (iii)Metallic character. (iv)Size of the atoms. (v)Formulae of their oxides and chlorides
