SOLUTIONS
SECTION-I
1. Ans. A
Atomic number = 58
Electronic configuration = [Ar]6s2 5d1 4f 1
Value of n = 6, so 6th period and f-block element, so group = III B

2. Ans. C
A → Correct : This is according to modern periodic law.
B → Correct : Non-metallic elements are lesser in number than metallic elements.
C → Incorrect : 3d is filled after both 3p and 4s.
D → Correct : Along the period first I.E. increases as Zeff increases.

3. Ans. C
The period number in modern periodic table is equal to the maximum principal quantum
number (n) of any element of the period.

4. Ans. D
Second IE can be calculated from:
i.e. M + (g) ⎯→ M 2+ (g) + e–
M(g) ⎯→ M 2+ (g) + 2e– 5
M(g) ⎯→ M + (g) + e– 3
————————————
M + (g) ⎯→ M 2+ (g) + e– 5 − 3

5. Ans. B
O(g) + 2e– → O2−
(g) ∆Heg = 744.7 kJ/mole.
The addition of electron in uninegative oxygen (O–) requires energy due to repulsion of last

8. Ans. C
The electron repulsion is very large when we add e– to O– (g). The electron repulsion outweighs
the stability gained by achieving noble gas configuration.

9. Ans. D
Stability orders :
Al+1 Al+2 Al+3
[Ne]3s2 [Ne]3s1 [Ne]
↓ ↓
Stable fully filled configuration Noble gas configuration
in s-subshell ↓
most stable
Order: Al3+ > Al+ > Al2+

i.e. IP1 < IP2 < IP3 < IP4 . . ..
M – (g) ⎯⎯
a
→ M(g) ⎯⎯
b
→ M + (g) ⎯⎯
c
→ M 2+ (g) ⎯⎯
d
→ M 3+ (g)
a<b<c<d
Maximum = d, minimum = a

11. Ans. A
Ionisation potential = IP
Electron affinity = EA
Electronegativity = X
IP+EA
We know, mulliken formula, X =
2
So, 2X – IP – EA = 0

12. Ans. C
Wrong order is:
A → Correct → Electronegativity decreases down the group and increases along the period
So, P < N < O < F
B → Correct → IP increases along the period and the IP of fully filled / half filled configuration
is more than its next neighbour
So, B < Be < O < N
↓ ↓
Fully filled Half filled
C → Wrong → Down the group basic character increases
So, CaO > MgO
D → Correct → Down the group reactivity of metals increases and along the period it decreases.
So, Be < Li < K < Cs

13. Ans. A
Electron affinity increases along the period.
Also, electron affinity of fully / half filled configuration is less.
N → Half filled, so less E.A.
Order : N < C < O < F or C > N < O < F

SECTION-II
14. Ans. A, B
A → Correct ∶ Atomic size → increases down the group and decreases along the period.
So, O < C < S < Se
B → Correct: 1st IP → Increases along the period. Also fully / half filled configuration has more
I.P. than next neighbour.
So, Na < Al < Mg < Si
C → Incorrect ∶ Basic character → Increases down the group.
So, Cs2 O > K 2 O
D → Incorrect : Acidic character is higher for higher oxidation state.
So, P4 O10 < SO3 < Cl2 O7 → correct order.
+5 +6 +7

15. Ans. A, B, C
A → Correct → H has minimum atomic radius.
B → Correct → He has highest IP
C → Correct → Cl has highest E.A.
D → Incorrect → Cs has lowest I.P. not Li.

16. Ans. A,B,C,D

A → Correct → F has highest electronegativity and Cs is most electropositive.
B → Correct → Down the group electronegativity decreases.
C → Correct → EA of Cl > F and EN of F > Cl

1. Ans. C
Statement (1) is true.
F atom has a less negative electron gain enthalpy than Cl atom.
Reason: Addition of electron is repelled more efficiently by 2p electron in 'F' atom than by 3p
electron in Cl atom because size of F < Cl and charge density is greater in F.
Statement (2) is False.

3. Ans. T
Given: Be > B (IE1 order)
This statement is true because in Be electronic configuration is stable (1s2 2s2 )
This causes more penetration effect due to which removal of e– requires more energy.

(C) B < C < N [In a period I.P. generally increases]
(D) C > Si > Fe[∵ Fe is metal]

5. Ans. B
Because of stable configuration of Be: 1s2 2s2 (more penetration effect)
Addition of e– (Be– ) is require more energy. That's why Be– is least stable.
