(a) Chemical reactivity of metals increases on going down in a group and chemical reactivity of non-metals decreases on going down in a group.               

(b) It is not possible to have an element with atomic number 1.5 because atomic number is the number of protons in an atom which is always a simple whole number (it can be either 1 or 2 but not 1.5).                            

(c) Potassium is larger in size than lithium because as we move down the group, the atomic size of the element increases.
