Highly selective Backlog Qs for JEE MainChemistryClassification of Elements and Periodicity in Properties
The characteristics of elements X , Y and Z with atomic numbers, respectively, 33 , 53 and 83 are:
Options
- AX and Y are metalloids and Z is a metal
- BX is a metalloid, Y is a non-metal and Z is a metal.
- CX , Y and Z are metals.
- DX and Z are non-metals and Y is a metalloid
Correct answer
B. X is a metalloid, Y is a non-metal and Z is a metal.
Step-by-step solution
X = As 33 → Metalloid Y = I 53 → Non-metal Z = Bi 83 → Metal
