Answer» Solution :i) The element A that occupies group number 17 and period number 2 is fluorine ii) Fluorine reacts with water and FORMS a mixture of B and C `2F_2 + 2H_2 O to 4HF + O_2` `3F_2 + 3H_2 O to 6HF + O_3` Therefore B is Oxygen and C is Ozone. iii) Fluorine reacts with hydrogen to give D. `F_2 + H_2 to 2HF` D is hydrofluorine ACID. |
