(a) (i) P – ionic configuration - 2
- Formula of oxide – PO
Q – Atomic number – 20
R- Atomic number – 19
T – Ionic configuration – 2.8.8
Formula of oxide – TO2

(ii) R – Has the largest atom with one outer electron hence easily loses it.

(iii) S – is the smallest atom of a non-metal with a deficit of only one electron hence
easily gains.

(iv) Q2010152019829.png

(v) T is insoluble – It has a molecular structure/non-metal
(b)(i) It is coated with an nonreactive layer of aluminium oxide which prevents it form reacting.
