NEETChemistryp Block Elements (Group 13 & 14)
How does the difference in the inner core of elements influence their properties in the p-block?
Options
- AIt has no influence on their properties.
- BIt greatly influences their chemical properties but not physical properties.
- CIt greatly influences both their physical and chemical properties.
- DIt only influences their physical properties.
Correct answer
C. It greatly influences both their physical and chemical properties.
Step-by-step solution
The difference in the inner core of elements greatly influences their physical properties (such as atomic and ionic radii, ionization enthalpy, etc.) as well as chemical properties.
