  1. Q1. Why is the valency of noble gases (full outer shell) zero?

    • A.they neither gain, lose nor share electrons as their outer shell is complete
    • B.they have no electrons at all
    • C.they always lose 8 electrons
    • D.they have only neutrons

    Answer: A. they neither gain, lose nor share electrons as their outer shell is complete

  2. Q2. Why is the valency of an element decided by its outermost electrons, not its neutrons?

    • A.chemical combination involves only the outer (valence) electrons
    • B.neutrons control bonding
    • C.the nucleus shares in bonds
    • D.inner electrons form bonds

    Answer: A. chemical combination involves only the outer (valence) electrons

  3. Q3. Why do elements in the same group of the periodic table often have the same valency?

    • A.they have the same number of valence electrons
    • B.they have the same number of neutrons
    • C.they have the same mass
    • D.they are in the same period

    Answer: A. they have the same number of valence electrons
