DIRECTIONS

The code letters A to Z (omitting J) have been assigned to the first twenty-five elements in the periodic table. These code letters do not represent the chemical symbols, nor have the letters been assigned in alphabetical order. Place the code letters in their correct positions in the table below and indicate their atomic numbers. flint: First find out in which group each family belongs; then arrange the elements within the group.

The following elements belong together in groups; Z R D; S I F P; X BE; L H T; Q K A; WOV; YMC; GUN, The valence limits of element U are plus four and minus four. A,N is the formula of an oxide. E is a noble gas. S is an alkali element. C has five valence electrons. L is an alkali earth element. 0 is a halogen. The sulfate of T is more soluble than that of H but less than that of L.

The degree of ionization of an oxygen acid of M is 92% and that of the similar acid of C is 27%. The atomic radius of Q is larger than that of A. The electrons of atom N are distributed over three orbits. W belongs to a sub group. The salt OS is less stable than Or. Atom X contains two neutrons. D has the smallest atomic weight in its group. V boils at a lower temperature than O. The density of P is 0.53 and that of S is 0.99. R forms a stronger base than Z. U is the least metallic element in its group. F is a gas. Atom B contains ten protons. Q is more closely related to A then to K. Y is more metallic than either M or C. CONCLUSIONS
