(Solved)
Study the information in the table below and answer the questions that follow (The letters do not represent the actual symbols of the elements).

(i) What chemical family do the elements A, B and C belong?
(ii) What is meant by the term ionization energy?
(iii) The 2nd ionization energy is higher that the 1st ionization energy of each. Explain
(Iv) When a piece of element C is placed in cold water, it sinks to the bottom and an
effervescence of a colourless gas that bums explosively is produced. Use a simple diagram to illustrate how this gas can be collected during this experiment.
