Previous Year Board Questions

The document contains 10 questions related to elements and the periodic table. Question 1 asks about atomic radii decreasing from Li to F and identifying the most metallic and non-metallic element in the second period. Question 2 asks about predicting the atomic mass of sodium using lithium and potassium. Question 3 asks about how electronic configuration relates to an element's position in the periodic table. The remaining questions ask about periodic trends, properties of elements, electronic configurations, and predicting compounds formed from given elements.
