B. State True or False

1. Each compound is represented by a square on the Periodic Table and each is
denoted by its own unique series of letters.
2. Groups are the horizontal rows and represent families of elements.
3. While groups and periods are useful in understanding the chemical families,
elements are also seen as being organized by blocks.
4. The noble gases have low melting and boiling points.
5. Over time a color scheme has been added to the periodic chart to help understand
which elements belong to named categories.

B. State True or False –

1. Electromagnetic waves can travel in empty space or space that has no particles.
2. Transverse mechanical waves are waves that travel parallel to an applied force.
3. Longitudinal waves are the same as Transverse waves.
4. Surface waves are waves that travel along the boundary between two different
media, such as air and water or liquids of different densities.
5. Tsunamis are huge longitudinal waves caused by shift of tectonic plates.
