Match List I with List II and select the answer using the code given below the Lists: List I (Element) List II (Atomicity) A. Phosphorus 1. 2 B. Nitrogen 2. 1 C. Neon 3. 8 D. Sulphur 4. 4
Options
- AA-4, B-1, C-2, D-3
- BA-4, B-2, C-1, D-3
- CA-3, B-2, C-1, D-4
- DA-3, B-1, C-2, D-4
Correct answer
A. A-4, B-1, C-2, D-3
Step-by-step solution
Atomicity is the number of atoms present in one molecule of an element. Phosphorus exists as P₄ molecules. Its atomicity is 4. Thus, A matches with 4. Nitrogen exists as N₂ molecules. Its atomicity is 2. Thus, B matches with 1. Neon is a noble gas and exists as monatomic Ne . Its atomicity is 1. Thus, C matches with 2. Sulphur exists as S₈ molecules. Its atomicity is 8. Thus, D matches with 3. The correct matching is A-4, B-1, C-2, D-3.
