2. Aluminium chloride forms a dimer Al2Cl6 because

A the chlorine atom is electron deficient
B the aluminium atom is electron deficient
C it is form stable in this form
D all aluminium compounds form dimers 10.

3. The ionic radius of the lithium ion is similar to that of the

magnesium ion, thus compounds of lithium act similarly to
compounds of magnesium. What would the products of the
thermal decomposition of lithium nitrate?
A LiO, NO2 and O2 B Li2O, NO2 and O2
C LiNO2 and O2 D Li2NO2 and O2

4. Which of the following could be used as a flare?

A Ba B Mg C Ca D Be

11. Calcium is more reactive than magnesium because

A calcium has more protons than magnesium
B calcium has more electron shells than magnesium
C calcium has a lower ionisation energy than magnesium
D calcium has a lower electronegativity than magnesium

12. Based on the trend of the solubility of group II

sulphates, radium sulphate would be most likely
A more soluble than calcium sulphate
B less soluble than barium sulphate
C more soluble than strontium sulphate
D less soluble than strontium sulphate
