Write true or false for the statement: Metallic character decreases across a period and increases down a group because the effective nuclear charge acting on the valence shell electrons increases across a period and decreases down the group.

Study the following table in which positions of six elements $A, B, C, D, E$ and $F$ are shown as they are in the modern periodic table:

Group $\to$	$1$	$2$	$13$	$14$	$15$	$16$	$17$	$18$
Period $2$	$A$	-	-	-	$B$	-	-	$C$
Period $3$	-	-	$D$	$E$	-	-	-	$F$

On the basis of the above table,answer the following questions:
$(i)$ Name the element which forms only covalent compounds.
$(ii)$ Name the element which is a metal with valency three.
$(iii)$ Name the element which is a non-metal with valency three.
$(iv)$ Out of $D$ and $E$,which is bigger in size and why?
$(v)$ Write the common name for the family to which the elements $C$ and $F$ belong.

Three elements $X$,$Y$,and $Z$ having atomic numbers $11$,$7$,and $6$ respectively react with oxygen to form their oxides.
$(a)$ Arrange these oxides in increasing order of their basic nature.
$(b)$ Give reason for your answer.

An element is placed in $2^{nd}$ Group and $3^{rd}$ Period of the Periodic Table. It burns in the presence of oxygen to form a basic oxide.
$(a)$ Write a balanced chemical equation when this oxide is dissolved in water.
$(b)$ Draw the electron dot structure for the formation of this oxide.

Which of the following elements will form an acidic oxide?

List any two properties of the elements belonging to the first group of the modern periodic table.
