The percentage abundance of an isotope is the percentage of all naturally occurring atoms with a specific atomic mass of an element.
(1e)
(i)The element with atomic number 18 has electronic configuration 2,8,8. It has a completely filled valence shell. It is therefore inert. Hence it cannot have an oxide.
(ii)Being a covalent compound, the intermolecular forces between the Cl₂O molecules are weak and easily overcome.
(1f)
Add barium chloride solution to H₂SO₄ and HNO₃ separately. A white precipitate is formed in H₂SO₄ and no such precipitation is formed in HNO₃.
(1g)
(i)The main difference is that electrochemical cell does not need any external current for operation whereas electrolytic cells need external current to operate.
(ii)Also, Oxidation occurs at the positive electrode and reduction at the cathode, in the electrolytic cell. While the reverse is the case in electrochemical cells.
(1h)
As we go down group 1 from top to bottom, it gets easier to remove the valence electron and form the positively charged cation. Hence group 1 elements increase in chemical reactivity as we go down the group

Tips to Pass WAEC Chemistry Questions
1. Study Hard
It is known to everyone that hard work brings success. Ensure to read the chemistry textbooks recommended by The West Africa Examination Council (WAEC).
This will help you to take a look at most of the questions you will see on the day of WAEC Chemistry examination.
Let me clearly state that questions are not imported from heaven but from those textbooks recommended by WAEC.
2. Read WAEC Chemistry Past Questions
WAEC usually picks questions from the previous years to form fresh questions. Studying WAEC Chemistry past questions would give you an idea of how WAEC Chemistry questions are set.
3. Start Preparing for WAEC 2023 :
Stop wasting your time. Now that you have gotten textbooks and past questions, the next thing is to begin your reading. Early reading and practice is good for you; you will pass well on WAEC 2023 Chemistry
4. Solve and try to understand every example and exercise you see in textbooks
It is very unfortunate that Secondary school students are fond of skipping exercises and even examples while studying textbooks.
They loved notebooks so much that they could ask, “can I read my Chemistry notebook and pass WAEC 2023?”. Don’t be scared of attempting exercises; they are there to help you. Face it and overcome it!
5. Practise Regularly
Don’t get discouraged when certain topics are annoying, keep on practicing until you master everything. Never give up and never say never. Keep pushing….
