Which of the following statements are true? A. Unlike Ga that has a very high melting point, Cs has a very low melting point. B. On Pauling scale, the electronegativity values of N and Cl are not the same. C. Ar , K ⁺, Cl ⁻, Ca ²⁺ , and S ²⁻ are all isoelectronic species. D. The correct order of the first ionization enthalpies of Na , Mg , Al , and Si is Si Al Mg Na . E. The atomic radius of Cs is greater than that o
Options
- AA, B and E only
- BC and E only
- CC and D only
- DA, C and E only
Correct answer
B. C and E only
Step-by-step solution
(C) Ca ²⁺, K ⁺, Ar , Cl ⁻, S ²⁻ all species have 18 electrons that's why these are isoelectronic species. (E) Radius order Cs Rb K Na Li
