( c ) P

2. The valency of an atom is equal to the number of electrons in the last shell if the number is or less than 4.

( If more than 4 than the valency is equal to 8 minus the number of electrons in the last shell.)

So if you know the number of electrons, you can easily calculate the valency.

3.
Arranging them in increasing order :-
• 152
• 186
• 231
• 246
• 262

a) Smallest atom is the Lithium while the largest atom is Caesium.

b) The atomic size increases while going down a group because new shells are being added at each step.

4. Metalloids are elements that exhibits both the properties of Metals and non metals.
