Classify oxides and provide examples for each type.

Among the following,the least and most metallic elements will be respectively:
$(I) [He] 2s^1$
$(II) [Kr] 5s^2 4d^{10} 5p^5$
$(III) [Xe] 6s^1$
$(IV) [He] 2s^2 2p^5$

The element having the electronic configuration $1s^2, 2s^2 2p^6, 3s^2 3p^1$ is

The first $\left( \Delta_{i}H_{1} \right)$ and the second $\left( \Delta_{i}H_{2} \right)$ ionization enthalpies (in $kJ \ mol^{-1}$) and the $\left( \Delta_{eg}H \right)$ electron gain enthalpy (in $kJ \ mol^{-1}$) of a few elements are given below:

Elements	$\left( \Delta_{i}H_{1} \right)$	$\left( \Delta_{i}H_{2} \right)$	$\left( \Delta_{eg}H \right)$
$I$	$520$	$7300$	$-60$
$II$	$419$	$3051$	$-48$

Which of the above elements is likely to be:
$(a)$ the least reactive element.
$(b)$ the most reactive metal.
$(c)$ the most reactive non-metal.
$(d)$ the least reactive non-metal.
$(e)$ the metal which can form a stable binary halide of the formula $MX_{2}$ ($X =$ halogen).
$(f)$ the metal which can form a predominantly stable covalent halide of the formula $MX$ ($X =$ halogen)?

Which elements are classified as metalloids? Name them.

Given below are two statements:
Statement $I$: Chlorine can easily combine with oxygen to form oxides,and the product has a tendency to explode.
Statement $II$: Chemical reactivity of an element can be determined by its reaction with oxygen and halogens.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below.
