An element A is soft and can be cut with a knife. This is very reactive to air and cannot be kept open in air. It reacts vigorously with water. Identify the element from the following
Options
Mg
Na
P
Ca
Solution
Na
Explanation -
Sodium is a third-period alkali metal which is a soft metal and highly reactive. sodium is stored under kerosene and whenever it comes in contact with air or water it reacts vigorously.

Give an example for each of the following statement.
A compound in which three covalent bonds are formed.
Identify the incorrect statement and correct them.
- Like covalent compounds, coordinate compounds also contain charged particles (ions). So they are good conductors of electricity.
- Ionic bond is a weak bond when compared to Hydrogen bond.
- Ionic or electrovalent bonds are formed by mutual sharing of electrons between atoms.
- Loss of electrons is called Oxidation and gain of electron is called Reduction.
- The electrons which are not involved in bonding are called valence electrons.
