Recall that across a period, atomic radius decreases. Down a group, atomic
radius increases. Combine both trends, the element at lowest left-hand corner
of Periodic Table should give largest radius.

respective orders in rate e=uation.

1 .ncorrect. Mow solubilit- means it cannot be readil- absorbed or
dissolved, and so not eas- to incorporate into human metabolism.
2 Correct. ;ith a considerable long half-life, the level of radioactivit- can
still do some damage after a number of -ears.
3 Correct. Aince the- are in same group I can share similar chemical
reactions I in this case it can replace calcium compounds in human
metabolism.
3!. B
1 Correct. This is formed on mi7ing sodium ethanoate and silver nitrate.
2 Correct. The fact that silver bromide appears after adding CDr to
above.
