2. Use the position of each element on the Periodic Table to determine how many
valence electrons each element has and find the number of electrons needed to
lose or gain by writing its oxidation number based on its valence electron.

Element No. of valence electrons Oxidation number ( +, -)

Hydrogen 1 +1
Iodine 7 -1
Calcium 2 +2
Oxygen 6 -2
Boron 3 +3
Magnesium 2 +2
Francium 1 +1
Tin 4 +4
Carbon 4 -4
Xenon 8 0
Sulfur 6 -2
Potassium 1 +1

3. Identify if the list of elements belong in Group, Period or Neither

Li, C, O Period 2
Br, Cl, F Group 17
Al, Si, Cl Period 3
C, N, O Period 2
Mg, Ca, Ba Group 2
C, S, Br Neither
K, Ca, Br Period 4
O, F, Ne Period 2
B, Si, Po Metalloids

5. Provide four (4) characteristics (physical / chemical) in which metals and non-metals differ.

Characteristic Metal behavior Non-metal Behavior

Reaction /w O2 React to form basic oxides, Also react to form oxides, but
but the metal oxides formed are soluble in water, and form
are insoluble in water, if they acids.
do dissolve, they form alkali.

Form metal oxides or metal Have no reaction with Water.

Reaction With H20 hydroxides, they release H2
gas.

Reaction with Acids
Reaction with Chlorine
Form salt and release
hydrogen gas, except when
reacting with HNO3, where
Hydrogen gas is not released.
React to form Metal Chloride.
Creates and ionic bond, and
an ionic compound.
None of the reactions with
Acids release hydrogen gas.
They don’t lose electrons
when reacting with hydrogen
ions of acids.
Non-metals will react to form
non-metal chloride, creates a
covalent bond and forms
Covalent compounds.
