COMPREHENSION
Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions.
Comprehension # 1
In the modern periodic table, elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic numbers which is related
to the electronic configuration. Depending upon the type of orbitals receiving the last electron, the elements
in the periodic table have been divided into four blocks, viz, s, p, d and f. The modern periodic table consists
of 7 periods and 18 groups. Each period begins with the filling of a new energy shell. In accordance with
the Arfbau principle, the seven periods (1 to 7) have 2, 8, 8, 18, 18, 32 and 32 elements respectively. The
seventh period is still incomplete. To avoid the periodic table being too long, the two series of f-block
elements, called lanthanoids and actinoids are placed at the bottom of the main body of the periodic table.
Now answer the following five questions :
1. The element with atomic number 57 belongs to :
(A) s-block (B) p-block (C) d-block (D) f-block
2. The last element of the p-block in 6th period is represented by the outermost electronic configuration :
(A) 7s27p6 (B) 5f146d107s27p0 (C) 4f145d106s26p6 (D) 4f145d10 6s26p4
3. Which of the elements, whose atomic numbers are given below, cannot be accommodated in the present
set up of the long form of the periodic table ?
(A) 107 (B) 118 (C) 126 (D) 102
4. The electronic configuration of the element which is just above the element with atomic number 43 in the
same group is ________:
(A) 1s22s22p63s23p63d54s2 (B) 1s22s22p63s23p63d54s34p6
(C) 1s22s22p63s23p63d64s2 (D) 1s22s22p63s23p63d74s2
5. The elements with atomic numbers 35, 53 and 85 are all ________ :
(A) noble gases (B) halogens (C) heavy metals (D) light metals
Comprehension # 2
It is not possible to measure the atomic radius precisely since the electron cloud surrounding the atom does
not have a sharp boundary. One practical approach to estimate the size of an atom of a non-metallic
element is to measure the distance between two atoms when they are bound together by a single bond in
a covalent molecule and then dividing by two. For metals we define the term “metallic radius” which is
taken as half the internuclear distance separating the metal cores in the metallic crystal. The van der
waal’s radius represents the over all size of the atoms which includes its valence shell in a non bonded
situation. It is the half of the distance between two similar atoms in separate molecules in a solid. The
atomic radius decreases across a period and increases down the group. Same trends are observed in case
of ionic radius. Ionic radius of the species having same number of electrons depends on the number of
protons in their nuclei. Sometimes, atomic and ionic radii give unexpected trends due to poor shielding of
nuclear charge by d- and f-orbital electrons.
Now answer the following three questions :
6. Which of the following relations is correct, if considered for the same element :
(A) rVanderwaal > rCovalent > r Metallic (B) rCovalent > rMetallic > rVanderwaal
(C) rVanderwaal > rMetallic > rCovalent (D) rMetallic > rCovalent > rVanderwaa

7. K+, CI– , Ca2+ , S2– ions are isoelectronic. The decreasing order of their size is :
(A) Ca2+ > K+ > Cl– > S2– (B) S2– > Cl– > K+ > Ca2+
(C) K+ > Cl– > Ca2+ > S2– (D) S2– > Cl– > Ca2+ > K+
8. Select the INCORRECT option regarding atomic/ionic sizes :
(A) Zn > Cu (B) Pb2+ > Pb4+ (C) Zr  Hf (D) N3– < Al3+

Comprehension # 3
The periodicity is related to the electronic configuration. That is, all chemical and physical properties are a
manifestation of the electronic configuration of the elements.
The atomic and ionic radii generally decrease in a period from left to right. As a consequence, the ionization
enthalpies generally increase and electron gain enthalpies become more negative across a period. In other
words, the ionization enthalpy of the extreme left element in a period is the least and the electron gain
enthalpy of the element on the extreme right is the highest negative. This results into high chemical reactivity
at the two extremes and the lowest in the centre. Similarly down the group, the increase in atomic and ionic
radii result in gradual decrease in ionization enthalpies and a regular decrease (with exception in some third
period elements) in electron gain enthalpies in the case of main group elements.
The loss and gain of electrons can be co-related with the reducing and oxidising behaviour, and also with
metallic and non-metallic character respectively, of the elements.
9. The correct order of the metallic character is :
(A) Al > Mg > Na > Si (B) Na > Mg < Al > Si (C) Na > Mg > Al > Si (D) Al > Mg > Si > Na
10. Considering the elements B, C, N, F, and Si, the correct order of their non-metallic character is :
(A) B > C > Si > N > F (B) Si > C > B > N > F
(C) F > N > C > B > Si (D) F > N > C > Si > B
11. Which of the following statement is correct ?
(A) Ionisation enthalpies of elements decrease along a period and increase along a group in Modern
periodic table.
(B) In the 3rd period of Modern periodic table, the two most reactive elements are sodium and fluorine.
(C) Fluorine has the least negative electron gain enthalpy among all halogens.
(D) Ionisation enthalpy of Pb is greater than that of Sn.
