(ii) Electron arrangement of atom R is 2.8.7. 1
It is located in Group 17 because it has seven valence
electron. 1
It is in Period 3 because it has three shells filled with 1 5
electron
(b) (i) Atoms P and R form covalent bond. 1
To achieve the stable electron arrangement, 1
atom P needs 4 electrons while atom R needs one electron. 1
Thus, atom P shares 4 pairs of electrons with 4 atoms of
R, 1

(c) The ionic compound/ (b)(ii) dissolves in water 1

while the covalent compound / (b)(i)does not dissolve in water. 1
Water is a polar solvent that can cause the ionic compound to
dissociate into ions. 1
Covalent compounds are non-polar and can only dissolve in
organic solvents. 1 4

OR

The melting point of the ionic compound/ (b)(ii) is higher than

that of the covalent compound/ (b)(i) . 1
This is because in ionic compounds ions are held by strong
electrostatic forces. 1
High energy is needed to overcome these forces.
In covalent compounds, molecules are held by weak 1
intermolecular forces.
Only a little energy is required to overcome the attractive forces. 1 max
1 4/5
OR

The ionic compound/(b)(ii) conducts electricity in the molten or

aqueous state
whereas the covalent compound/(b)(i) does not conduct 1
electricity.
This is because in the molten or aqueous state, ionic compounds 1
consist of freely moving ions.
Covalent compounds are made up of molecules only 1

9 (a) (i) Based on the equation, iron(II) ion is oxidised to

iron(III) ion 1
So, iron(II) ion acts as a reducing agent 1
(ii) Based on the equation, iron(II) ion is reduced to 1
iron
So, iron(II) ion acts as an oxidising agent 1 4

(b) Mg → Mg 2 + + 2e 1
Oxidation number of magnesium increases from 0 to +2, So
magnesium undergoes oxidation 1
Cu 2 + + 2e → Cu 1
oxidation number of copper decreases from +2 to 0, so copper(II)
ion undergoes reduction 1 4

(c) (i) Reduction is a reaction that involves gain of electron. 1

Oxidation is a reaction that involves loss of electron. 1 2

250 cm3 of water is measured using a measuring cylinder and is 1

then poured into a copper container.
The copper container is placed on a tripod stand. 1
The initial temperature of the water is measured and recorded. 1
A spirit lamp containing ethanol is weighed and recorded. 1
The spirit lamp is placed directly below the copper container(as 1
in the diagram.)
The wick of the spirit lamp is lighted. 1
The water is stirred using a thermometer. 1
When the increase in water temperature is 30 oC, the flame is put 1
off and the highest temperature reached is recorded.
The spirit lamp is weighed again. 1
Results:
Initial temperature of water = t1 oC
Highest temperature of water = t2 oC
Rise in temperature = (t2 - t1)oC = T oC 1

Mass of lamp + ethanol before combustion = m1 g

Mass of lamp + ethanol after combustion = m2 g
