TYPE: III (LONG QUESTIONS ANSWER):
Q1.(i) State the main aim of classifying elements. Which is the more fundamental property of elements that
is used in the development of Modern Periodic Table?

(iv) O
(b) Arrange increasing order of their atomic size.
(c) Which elements more metallic in nature.
(d) Name two elements that are inert in nature.
Q3. How does the electronic configuration of an atom relates to its position (period and group) in the modern
periodic table?
(b) Would you place the two isotopes of chlorine, CI - 35 and Cl - 37, in different slots because of their
different atomic masses or in the same slot because their chemical properties are the same ? Justify your
answer.
