Answer

(a) A dark-red liquid - Bromine (Br2) (b) A colorless gas that burns in oxygen gas - Hydrogen (H2) (c) A reactive metal that attacks water - Calcium (Ca) (d) A shiny metal that is used in jewelry - Gold (Au) (e) An inert gas - Argon (Ar)

Work Step by Step

(a) A dark-red liquid - Bromine (Br2). Bromine is a red-colored liquid at room temperature. (b) A colorless gas that burns in oxygen gas - Hydrogen (H2). Hydrogen is a colorless highly inflammable gas. (c) A reactive metal that attacks water - Calcium (Ca). Calcium is a reactive alkaline earth metal which reacts with water and forms calcium hydroxide. (d) A shiny metal that is used in jewelry - Gold (Au). Gold is one of the highly malleable and ductile metals with a shiny appearance, so it is used in jewelry. (e) An inert gas - Argon (Ar). Argon is an inert gas with an atomic number of 18. It has a complete octet configuration. Its electronic configuration is $1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{6}3s^{2}3p^{6}$
