• The reactivity of halogens decreases down the group because atomic size increases and electro negativity decreases down the group. Their valance shell contain seven electron. So they gain one electrons and form monovalent anion.
  Example:
  
  Cl+ e^- → Cl^-

Members Of Halogens Group:

• It consists of Fluorine (F), Chlorine (Cl), Bromine (Br), Iodine (I) and Astatine (At).
• Except Astatine (metalloid) all halogens are non-metals.

(Note: write down any three names as mentioned in question)

6. Define following with examples:
1. Cation
2. Anion
Ans: CATIONS:
When an atom or a molecule loses electron then it changes into positively charged ion. These positive ions move towards cathode during electrolysis so they are termed as Cation.

x → x⁺ + e^-

Example:

• Group I A (Alkali Earth Metal) or Lithium Family lose one electron and form monovalent cation. e.g. Li⁺ , Na⁺ , K⁺ etc.
• Group II A(Alkaline Earth Metals) or Beryllium Family lose two electron and form divalent cation. e.g. Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺ etc.
• Group III A metals lose three electron and form trivalent cation. e.g: B³⁺, Al³⁺ etc

ANIONS:
When an atom or a molecule accept or gain electron then it changes into negatively charged ions. These negative ions move towards anode during electrolysis so they are termed as anions.

x + e^- → x^-

The number of negative charges on anion shows the excess number of electrons as compared to number of protons.
Example:

• Group VII A(Halogen Family) accept one electrons and form monovalent anion. e.g.
  
  Cl+ e^- → Cl^-
• Group VI A (Oxygen Family) accept two electrons and form divalent anion. e.g. O^2-, S^2-

7. Explain why alkali metals do not exists free in nature? OR Analyze why alkali metals are not found in the free state in nature.
Ans: ALKALI MATELS DO NOT EXIST FREE IN NATURE:
Group I A elements are alkali metals. Alkali matels are electro positive and electro positive character of metals increases down the group with increasing atomic size.
Alkali metals have large atomic size and low ionization potential (ionization energy) values. The nucleus force on valence shell is very weak so they can lose their valence electron easily. Hence they are highly reactive, highly electro positive, powerful reducing agents and cannot exist free in nature.
Example:

Al ⟶ Al³⁺ + 3e^-

8. Explain inertness of noble metals.
Ans: Inertness of Noble Metal:
Nobel metals are less electro positive so they are difficult to oxidize. They are placed in the zero group of periodic table. Their electronic configuration is ns²p⁶. Therefore they show no reaction with atmospheric gases and resist corrosion. This helps noble metals to maintain their appearance.
Due to inertness, noble metals like Ag, Au, Pt are used to make ornaments.

9. Write names and symbols of some noble metals.
Ans: Names Of Noble Metals With Symbols:

Words	Meanings
Gold (Aurum)	Au
Silver (Argentum)	Ag
Platinum	Pt
Iridium	Ir
Osmium	Os
Rhodium	Rh
Ruthenium	Ru
Palladium	Pd

10. Explain electronegative character of non-metals.
Ans: ELECTRONEGATIVE CHARACTERS OF NON-METALS:
A Non-metal has property to accept electron easily and form Anion. It is called electronegative character.

x + e^- → x^-

Electronegative character increases across the period because Atomic size decreases and nuclear charge density increases. It decreases down the group due to increasing Atomic size.
Example:
Halogens accept electrons easily due to their high electronegative character.

Cl+ e^- → Cl^-

Scientific Reason:

1. Why do Two pieces of pure un-coated metals permanently stuck together in space?
Ans: Reason:
Two pieces of pure un-coated metals permanently stuck together in space because there is no oxygen in space and hence no oxidation reaction occurs. The oxidized layer on metals serves as a barrier and prevent adherence of metals.

2. Why helmets of astronauts are coated with thin film of gold?
Ans: Reason:

The helmet of Astronaut is coated with thin film of gold which reflect intense Solar radiation and protect eyes, skin of astronaut.

3. Why glass surface are coated with gold?
Ans: Reason:

Glass surface coated with gold will reflect solar radiations outward and keep the Buildings cool in summer. It also reflects internal heat inward and keeps the Building warm in winter.
