 CHEMISTRY 1

9 X is a non-metal as it has a very low electrical conductivity and low melting and boiling
points.
Y is a semi-metal as it has a small electrical conductivity, it is silvery and it has a very
high boiling point.
Z is a metal as it is silvery and lustrous with a high electrical conductivity.

10 Caesium = 1 (one caesium atom entirely within the bulk of the cell)
Chloride = 1/8 x 8 = 1 (eight chlorine atoms located at the eight corners)
Therefore, caesium : chloride = 1 : 1.
So the formula is CsCl.
