(1) Group 6 elements (allow oxygen and sulfur) react with W and Z to form compounds. (2) Group 18 elements (gaseous elements like oxygen and nitrogen) react with Y to form compounds. (3) Reaction of S with water produces sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas/effervescence, while the same reaction is faster and more vigorous with potassium due to its electrons being further from the nucleus and in higher energy levels, making them more easily lost.

correct symbol for any 2 gaseous elements) for 1 mark

• produce hydrogen or idea of effervescence

potassium is further down the group or more electron shells gains 1 mark but because the electrons in potassium are further from the nucleus/in a more outer shell / in a higher energy level gains 2 marks so they are most easily lost or less strongly pulled/held by nucleus for 1 mark [9]
