Q1
Answer:

 When we move from top to bottom in this group, the atomic size increases. Owing to this, it becomes easier for element to lose electrons down the group which is reflected in the increased reactivities of the lower members of the group.

Q2
Answer:

Potassium being an alkali metal is highly reactive towards halogens. Reaction of Potassium with chlorine becomes more vigorous as we go down the group.

2K  +Cl ₂   --Heat -----> 2KCl

            violent reaction​

Q3
Answer:

The reducing agent in  a given reaction  is NaBr Sodium Bromide.

Q4
Answer:

Iodine exists as a solid at room temperature because of the strong intermolecular forces, especially London dispersion forces between its large molecules, which are caused by its large electron cloud, making it difficult for the molecules to separate and move freely at normal temperature.

Q5
Answer:

Nickel provides an active surface for absorption and dissociation of hydrogen molecules. Facilitates the transfer of hydrogen atoms to the oil molecules. Enable the reaction to occur at the lower temperature and pressure. Nickel is used as a catalyst for the hydrogenation of oils to give solid margarine.
