Explanation

Among the given options, aluminum (Al) has the highest melting point. This is because aluminum has stronger metallic bonds due to its higher electronegativity and smaller atomic radius compared to the other options. Stronger metallic bonds require more energy to overcome, resulting in a higher melting point.

Which one of the elements with the following outer orbital configurations may exhibit the largest number of oxidation states?

3d³,4s²

3d⁵,4s¹

3d⁵,4s²

3d²,4s²

Explanation

(c)

For transition metal elements a general rule is = The max number of oxidation states = no. unpaired d-orbital electrons + the 2s electrons.

In 3d⁵4s²configuration

Number of unpaired d-electrons = 5

Hence Maximum number of oxidation states = 5+2=7

Such as Mn⁺⁷

Explanation

(d) It is a fact.

● ● ● ● ●

The statements that is not correct for the periodic classification of elements is:

the properties of elements are the periodic functions of their atomic number

non-metallic elements are lesser in number that metallic elements

the first ionization energies of elements along a period do not vary in a regular manner with increase in atomic number

for transition elements, the d-sub-shells are filled with electrons monotonically with the increase in atomic number.
