Question 1

The elements in this group are termed alkali metals.

◦ Group 1A
◦ Group 2A
◦ Group 3A
◦ Group 4A
◦ Group 5A

Question 2

The fact that the SO molecule is very unstable while O2 is stable can be best explained because:

◦ The S-O bond is inherently unstable.
◦ Sulfur lacks the ability to form double bonds.
◦ The difference in electronegativity between the sulfur atom and the oxygen atom makes it unlikely for the S-O bond to form.
◦ There exists much stronger pi bonding between oxygen atoms than between a sulfur atom and oxygen atom.
◦ None of these are correct.
