Answer

  1. Lithium (Li), sodium (Na) and potassium (K) are three metals of group 1 having a valency of 1.
  2. Calcium (Ca), strontium (Sr) and barium (Ba) are three metals of group 2 having a valency of 2.
  3. Chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br) and iodine (I) are three non-metals of group 17 which are known as halogens, and have seven valence electrons.

P, Q, R and S are four major types of phytohormones. P is a phytohormone which functions mainly as a growth inhibitor. It promotes the wilting and falling of leaves. Q, R and S are phytohormones which all promote growth of plants in various ways. Q is responsible for the phenomenon of phototropism in plants. R is involved mainly in shoot extensions. The phytohormone S helps in breaking the dormancy of seeds and buds. What are P, Q, R and S? Give one reason each for your choice.
