(E) Zn (At. No. = 30).
(a) A and C (b) B and D (c) B and C (d) only D
Solution: (b)
After removal of one electron the Cr+ and Cu+ ions are left with stable half filled and fully
filled orbitals. Sufficiently higher energy is needed to remove the second electron in their
case.

55. The electronic configuration of four elements are given below. Arrange these elements in
the correct order of the magnitude (without sign) of their electron affinity
(i) 2s22p5 (ii) 3s23p5 (iii) 2s22p4 (iv) 3s23p4
Select the correct answer using the codes given below
(a) (i) < (ii) < (iv) < (iii) (b) (ii) < (i) < (iv) < (iii)
(c) (i) < (iii) < (iv) < (ii) (d) (iii) < (iv) < (ii) < (i)
Solution: (c)
Due to smaller size, the interelectronic repulsion are stronger in (i) than over (ii) and (iii)
over (iv). As a result, electron affinity of (ii) is more than (i) and that of (iv) is more than
(iii) i.e. option (C) is correct.

57. Following statements regarding the periodic trends of chemical reactivity of the alkali
metals and halogens are given. Which of these statements gives the correct picture?
(a) Chemical reactivity increases with increase in atomic number down the group in both
the alkali metals and halogens
(b) In alkali metals the reactivity increases but in the halogens it decreases with increase in
atomic number down the group
(c) The reactivity decreases in the alkali metals but increases in the halogens with increase
in atomic number
(d) In both the alkali metals and halogens, the chemical reactivity decreases with increase
in atomic number down the group.
Solution: (b)
The alkali metals are highly reactive because their first ionisation potential is very low and
hence they have great tendency to lose ns electron to form unipositive ion.
On moving down a group from Li to Cs ionisation enthalpy decreases hence the reactivity
increases.
The halogens are most reactive elements due to their low bond dissociation energy, high
electron affinity and high enthalpy of hydration of halide ion. On moving down the group
their reactivity decreases with increases in atomic number due to following factors.
(i) X – X bonds have low dissociation energy.
(ii) The electronegativity decreases from F to I due to which bond between halogens and
other elements become weaker and weaker.
(iii) As the size increases, the attraction for an additional electron by the nucleus becomes
less, thus reactivity decreases.

58. The charge/size ratio of a cation determines its polarizing power. Which one of the
following sequences represents the increasing order of the polarizing power of the cationic
species, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Be2+
(a) K+ > Ca2+ > Mg2+ < Be2+ (b) Be2+ < Ca2+ < Mg2+ < K+
(c) Mg2+ < K+ < Be2+ < Ca2+ (d) K+ < Ca2+ < Mg2+ < Be2+
Solution: (d)
Smaller the size and higher the charge, more will be polarizing power of the cation. Since
the order of the size of cation is K+ > Ca2+ > Mg2+ > Be2+ the correct order of polarizing
power is K+ < Ca2+ < Mg2+ < Be2+.

59. The correct order of decreasing second ionization enthalpy of Ti (22), V(23), Cr (24) and
Mn (25) is
(a) Mn > Cr > Ti > V (b) Ti > V > Cr > Mn
(c) Cr > Mn > V > Ti (d) V > Mn > Cr > Ti.
Solution: (c)
Ti : [Ar]18 3d2 4s2 : V : [Ar]18 3d3 4s2 : Cr : [Ar]18 3d54s1; Mn : [Ar]18 3d5 4s2
Since ionization enthalpy increases across a period, the correct order should be
M > Cr > V > Ti.
But Cr with more symmetrical electronic configuration has higher second ionization
enthalpy than Mn. Hence the correct order is
Cr > Mn > V > Ti.
