K does not represent potassium
You must see the position of the element in the periodic table.
Some elements are given in their own symbol and position in the periodic table, while others are shown with a letter. With reference to the table answer the following:
(i) Which is the most electronegative?
(ii) How many valence electrons are present in G?
(iii) Write the formula of the compound between B and H.
(iv) In the compound between F and J, what type of bond will be formed?
(v) Draw the electron dot structure for the compound formed between C and K.

Solution

(i) J is the most electronegative element.
(ii) G has five valence electrons.
(iii) B and H are elements of group 1 and 16, respectively. Therefore, the formula of the compound is B₂H.
(iv) Polar covalent bond will be formed in the compound between F and J.
(v) K is group 17 element and C is group 2 element. Electron dot structure of compound formed between them (CK₂) is:
