Answer :

(B) It is likely to form ionic bonds

(D) It is in period seven

(E) It is a metal

Explanation :

Francium is an element whose symbol is 'Fr' and atomic number is 87.

Group 1 alkali metals consists elements Lithium, Sodium, Potassium, Rubidium, Caesium and Francium. Periodic table also shown below.

Francium belongs to the group 1 (alkali metal) and it is in period seven.

It has one valence electron, the electronic configuration of Francium is [Rn} $7s^{1}$ .

Alkali metals have tendency to form ionic compounds because they have +1 charge.

Answer:

(a) Covalent bond. NF₃ (nitrogen trifluoride)

(b) Ionic bond. LiCl (lithium chloride)

Explanation:

Nitrogen and fluorine are nonmetals, with high and similar electronegativities, so they form covalent bonds, in which they share pairs of electrons to complete the octet in their valence shell. N has 5 valence electrons so it will form 3 covalent bonds while each Cl has 7 valence electrons so it will form 1 covalent bond. As a result, the empirical formula is NF₃ (nitrogen trifluoride).

Lithium is a metal and Chlorine is a nonmetal. They have different electronegativities so they form an ionic bond, in which Cl gains 1 electron (7 valence e⁻) and Li loses 1 electron (1 valence e⁻). The empirical formula is LiCl (lithium chloride).
