NTA Abhyas JEE Main2020ChemistryStructure of AtomPractice
The electronic configuration of few elements is given below. Mark the statement which is not correct about these elements. (i) 1 s 2 2 s 2 2 p 6 3 s 1 (ii) 1 s 2 2 s 2 2 p 5 (iii) 1 s 2 2 s 2 2 p 6 (iv) 1 s 2 2 s 2 2 p 3
Options
- A(i) is an alkali metal
- B(iii) is a noble metal
- C(i) and (ii) form ionic compounds
- D(iv) has high ionisation enthalpy than accepted
Correct answer
B. (iii) is a noble metal
Step-by-step solution
As (iii) has 1 s 2 2 s 2 2 p 6 type of noble gas configuration so it is an inert gas Neon not a metal.
