1. How can we explain the reddish appearance of sun at sunrise or sunset? Why does
it not appear red at noon? (2)
2. The three elements A, B and C with similar properties have atomic masses X, Y
and Z respectively. The mass of Y is approximately equal to the average mass of X
and Z. What is such an arrangement of elements called as? Give one example of such
a set of elements. (3)
3.An element X (atomic number 17) reacts with an element Y (atomic number 20) to
form a divalent halide. (a) Where in the periodic table are elements X and Y placed?
(b) Classify X and Y as metal (s), non-metal (s) or metalloid (s) (c) What will be the
nature of oxide of element Y? Identify the nature of bonding in the compound formed
(d) Draw the electron dot structure of the divalent halide. (5)
4.How will you use two identical prisms so that a narrow beam of white light incident
on one prism emerges out of the second prism as white light? Draw the diagram.(3)
