Explanation

(d) Atomic radius and metallic character decreases from left to right across the period and increases from top to bottom down the group.

Consider the following information about element P and Q :

                        Period number            Group number

P                               2                                 15

Q                               3                                 2

Then formula of the compound formed by P and Q element is :

Explanation

(b) Zn is bigger

In (a)  use (z/e) concept for isoelectronic specie.

     In (c) size of neutral atom is greater than its cation.

     

The correct order of atomic/ionic radii is:

Explanation

(a) (a) Sc > Ti > V > Cr (size decrease initially in 3d-series)

     (b) Correct order : Zn > Cu > Co Ni

     (c) Correct order : S2- > Cl- > N3 >O2-

Which of the following transformation least energy is required?

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

(b) If we consider the opposite process:

    (a) Fg+e-F-g       ;           H1(b) Pg+e-P-g       ;          H2(c) Sg+e-S-g       ;          H3(d) Clg+e-Cl-g      ;          H4          Order of energy releases is : H4>H1>H3>H2

So,        P-ge;            Requires least energy.
