ANSWER:

4 a) Specific elements have more than one oxidation state, demonstrating variable valency.

For example, the following transition metals demonstrate varied valence states:
Fe^(2+),
Fe^(3+),
Cr^(2+), Cr^(3+), etc.

Normal metals such as
Pb^(2+) and Pb^(4+) also show variable valencies. Certain non-metals are also found to show more than one valence state
Pb^(3+) and Pb^(5+).

4 b) Isotopes are members of a family of an element that all have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons.

For example, Carbon-14 is a naturally occurring radioactive isotope of carbon, having six protons and eight neutrons in the nucleus. However, C-14 does not last forever and there will come a time when it loses its extra neutrons and becomes Carbon-12.

5 a)
2Fe + 3Cl_2
2FeCl_3

5 b)
3Pb + 8HNO_3
3Pb (NO_3)_2 + 4H_2O + 2NO_2

5 c)
Zn + H_2SO_4
ZnSO_4 + H_2 (already balanced so don't need to change)

5 d)
2H_2 + O_2
2H_2O

5 e)
2Mg + 2HCl
2MgCl + H_2

EXPLANATION (IF NEEDED):

1. Write out how many atoms of each element is on the left (reactant side) and right (product side) of the arrow.

2. Start multiplying each side accordingly to try to get atoms of the elements on both sides equal.

EXAMPLE OF BALANCING:
