Question
Mendeleev predicted the existence of certain elements not known at that time and named two of them as Eka-silicon and Eka-aluminium.
  1. Name the elements which have taken the place of these elements.
  2. Mention the group and the period of these elements in the Modern Periodic Table.
  3. Classify these elements as metals, non-metals or metalloids.
  4. How many valence electrons are present in each one of them?
✓

Answer

  1. Eka-silicon was later identified as Germanium (Ge) and Eka- aluminium was taken as Gallium (Ga).
  2.  
  • Germanium (Ge)- Group 14, period 4.
  • Gallium (Ga)- Group 13, period 4.
  1. Gallium(Ga) is a metal while Germanium (Ge) is a metalloid.
  2. Gallium is placed in $13^{\text {th }}$ group so there must be $13-10=3$ valence electrons. Similarly germanium is placed in group 14 so there must be $14-10=4$ valence electrons.

The gland A is attached to the wind pipe in the human body. The gland A makes and secretes a hormone B which controls the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins in the body. The non-metal element C is necessary for the formation of hormone B. The deficiency of C in the diet can cause a deficiency of hormone B in the body leading to a disease D in which the neck of a person appears to be swollen. People are advised to use salt E in cooking food so as to avoid disease D.
  1. Name (i) gland A, and (ii) hormone B.
