CBSE TEST PAPER-05 CLASS - XI CHEMISTRY (Classification of Elements and Periodicity in Properties) Topic: - Miscellaneous Questions [ANSWERS]

Ans1.

The general outer electronic configuration of f block element is (n 2) f1-14 (n 1) d0-11 ns2 Na and K have similar physical and chemical properties because they have same number of valence electrons. P < Si < Be < Mg < Na The atomic of the element is 16. The electronic configuration of the element is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p4

Ans2.

Ans3. Ans4.

Thus the element belongs to p-block and is placed in third period and 16th group of the periodic table. Ans5. The maximum chemical reactivity at the extreme left (among alkali metals) is exhibited due to the loss of an electron leading to the formation of a cation due to low ionization enthalpy and at the extreme right (among halogens) shown by the gain of an electron forming an anion. Ans6. In a group, the increase in atomic and ionic radii with increase in atomic number generally results in a gradual decrease in ionization enthalpies. Ans7. The attraction between the outer electrons and the nucleus increases as the atomic radius decreases in a period. The electeonegativity also increases. On the same account electronegativity value decreases with the increase in atomic radii down a group. Ans8. Electronegativity is directly related to the non metallic character of elements. Electronegativity is inversely related to the metallic properties of elements. Thus the increase in electronegativities across a period is accompanied by an increase in non metallic properties of elements. Similarly, the decrease in electronegativity down a group is accompanies by a decrease in non metallic properties of elements.
