KCET2022ChemistryStructure of Atom
Elements X, Y and Z have atomic numbers 19,37 and 55 respectively. Which of the following statements is true about them ?
Options
- AY would have an ionisation potential between those of X and Z .
- BZ would have the highest ionisation potential.
- CY would have the highest ionisation potential.
- DTheir ionisation potential would increase with increasing atomic number.
Correct answer
A. Y would have an ionisation potential between those of X and Z .
Step-by-step solution
Elements X, Y and Z with atomic number 19 , 37 and 55 respectively K , Pb and Cs . These elements are belongs to group-I of periodic table. On moving down the period in group-l ionisation potential will decrease down the group. Thus, the order is X>Y>Z . Therefore, statement (a) is correct.
