(i) Element A is closer to noble gas and is on the right side of the period and in the periodic table, non-metals are on the right side.

(ii) As we go down in periodic table atomic size increases, so the size of element C is greater than element A.

(iii) Element B is in the first group and it consists of elements having 1 electron in the outermost shell so it has valency 1.
