3.(a) Atomic size increases, screening effect increases with more inner shells of electrons 1M effective nuclear charge decreases, ionisation energy lowered, valence electrons are more easily removed. 1M
(b) i. Be2+ (aq) + 4H2O (l) → [ Be (H2O)4 ]2+ (aq) 1M ii. It is acidic, acting as a Bronsted-Lowry acid 1M
© The Be2+ ion has a high charge density 1M and can strongly polarise large anions due to its smaller size. 1M
The ions of other Group 2 elements have larger sizes and charge densities and weaker polarising power
(d) i. platinum and rhodium 1M
ii. 4NH3(g) + 5O2(g) 4NO(g) + 6H2O (g) 1M
iii. low temperature 1M low pressure 1M ( Note : The reaction is exothermic reaction. According to le Chatelier principle, a low temperature will favour the formation of NO. For gaseous equilibrium, a decrease in pressure will favour the reaction which produces more gaseous molecules. Thus in the above equilibrium a low pressure will favour the formation of NO.)

(c) N2(g) + 3H2(g) 2NH3(g) - at low temperatures, % NH3 is higher - forward reaction is exothermic - equilibrium position shifts to the right at higher temperature
- forward reaction is accompanied by a reduction in volume of gas
- at higher pressures, equilibrium position shifts to the right
- at high pressures, % NH3 is higher 5M

9.( a ) ( i ) order : W, Y, X W, Y, X act as Lewis bases.
X is the strongest base because ethyl group is an electron donor by inductive effect. Y is more basic than W because the lone pair electron on the N atom is not delocalised. W is less basic than Y because the lone pair electron on the N atom is delocalised into the benzene ring. 5M
( ii ) pKb value > 9.39 Z is a weaker base than W. Presence of Cl - an electron withdrawing group reduces the donating potential of lone pair electron on the N atom through inductive effect. 4M ( b ) Concentated H2SO4 and HNO3., 55○C Mechanism: HNO3 + H2SO4 NO2+ + HSO4– + H2O NO2+ is an electrophile.
