Explanation

(a)(i) V and Y (ii) X (iii) Z (iv) W (v) V and Y (vi) V and Y

 

(b)(i) — 2 or 2— (ii) Akali metals

 

(c)(i) V\(_2\) W

(ii) Bond — ionic / electrovalent V can readily lose its electron W can readily accept electrons to attain stability.

 

(d)(i) A ccmpond formed by two atoms which donate equal no of electrons that are shared between them such that each achieves a stable octet.

(ii) * electronegativity (difference) * ionization energy * electron affinity

(iii) MgO — ionic / eiectroyalent

NH\(_3\) — covalent

Fe — metallic

(iv) Intermolecular forms. are attractive forces that operate between molecules and influence the properties of the substance.
