NEETChemistryClassification of Elements and Periodicity in Properties
The atomic number of elements A, B, C and D are Z − 1, Z, Z + 1, Z + 2 respectively. If B is a noble gas, choose the correct option (i) (A) has higher electron affinity (ii) C exists in + 2 oxidation state (iii) D is an alkaline earth metal
Options
- Ai a n d i i
- Bi i a n d i i i
- Ci a n d i i i
- Di , i i a n d i i
Correct answer
C. i a n d i i i
Step-by-step solution
Atomic number of B = Z and is a noble gas Atomic number of A = Z - 1 (i.e., is a Halogen) Atomic number C , = Z + 1 (i.e., is a alkali metal) At number of D = Z + 2 (i.e., alkaline earth metal) Hence, element A must be a Halogen, so has highest electron affinity among the given species. C . is an alkali metal and D is an alkaline earth metal
