(i) Oxides of 1st group elements,
(ii) Halides of the elements of group 13, and
(iii) Compounds formed when an element of group 2 combines with, an element of group 16.
Solution
(i) Valency of group 1 elements: 1

Oxides of group 1 elements:
Formula of the oxides of group 1 is M2O, where M is the group 1 element and O is oxygen.
(ii) Valency of group 13 elements: 3
Valency of halogens: 1
Halides of group 13 elements:
Formula of the halides of group 13 is MX3, where M is the group 13 element and X is halogen.
(iii) Valency of group 2 elements: 2
Valency of group 16 elements: 2
Compounds of group 2 and group 16 elements:
