School of Elements Give scientific reasons: 1) Atomic size increases down the group.

2) Metallic character decreases from left to right in a period. 3) Elements in the same group show same valency. Answer the following; 1) How could the modern periodic table remove various anomalies of Mendeleevs periodic table? 2) What are the demerits of Mendeleevs periodic table? 3) Define atomic size. How does it vary in a period land in a group? 4) The magic of Chemical Reactions Answer the following: 1) What is the importance of a chemical equation? 2) What do you understand by the term Redox Reactions? Explain with one example. 3) What is corrosion? Do gold ornaments corrode? Justify. Q.4. Give scientific reasons: 1) Grills of doors and windows are always painted before they are used. 2) Potassium Ferrocyanide is stored in dark coloured bottles and kept away from sunlight. 3) Iron articles rust readily whereas steel which is also mainly made of iron will not undergo corrosion. 4) Edible oil is not allowed to stand for a long time in an iron or tin container.
