An element $X$,which is a yellow solid at room temperature,shows catenation and allotropy. $X$ forms two oxides which are also formed during the thermal decomposition of ferrous sulphate crystals and are major air pollutants.
$(a)$ What would be the nature (acidic/basic) of the oxides formed?
$(b)$ Locate the position of the element in the Modern Periodic Table.

Which of the following gives the correct increasing order of the atomic radii of $O$,$F$ and $N$?

$(a)$ Why do we classify elements?
$(b)$ What were the two criteria used by Mendeleev in creating his Periodic Table?
$(c)$ Why did Mendeleev leave some gaps in his Periodic Table?
$(d)$ In Mendeleev's Periodic Table,why was there no mention of noble gases like Helium,Neon,and Argon?
$(e)$ Would you place the two isotopes of chlorine,$Cl-35$ and $Cl-37$,in different slots because of their different atomic masses or in the same slot because their chemical properties are the same? Justify your answer.

Write the atomic numbers of two elements $X$ and $Y$ having electronic configurations $2, 8, 2$ and $2, 8, 6$ respectively.

The elements $A$,$B$,$C$,$D$,and $E$ have atomic numbers $9$,$11$,$17$,$12$,and $13$ respectively. Which pair of elements belongs to the same group?

If an element $X$ is placed in group $14$,what will be the formula and the nature of bonding of its chloride?
