CLASSIFICATION OF ELEMENTS

1. The element with atomic number 35 belongs to

(a) d – Block
(b) f – Block
(c) p – Block
(d) s – Block
2. The correct order of first ionization potential among following elements, Be, B, C, N and
O is
(a) B < Be < C < O < N
(b) B < Be < C < N < O
(c) Be < B < C < N < O
(d) Be < B < C < O < N
3. The reduction in atomic size with increase in atomic number is a characteristic of
elements of-
(a) d−block

(b) f−block
(c) Radioactive series
(d) High atomic masses
4. On the Pauling's negativity scale the element next to F is
(a) N
(b) Cl
(c) O
(d) Ne.
5. Which of the following have no unit?
(i) Electronegativity
(ii) Electron gain enthalpy
(iii) Ionisation enthalpy
(iv) Metallic character
6. Assertion (A) : Boron has a smaller first ionisation enthalpy than beryllium.
Reason (R) : The penetration of a 2s electron to the nucleus is more than the 2p electron
hence 2p electron is more shielded by the inner core of electrons than the 2s electrons.
7. Assertion (A) : Electron gain enthalpy becomes less negative as we go down a group.
Reason (R) : Size of the atom increases on going down the group and the added
electron would be farther from the nucleus.
8. Cations are smaller than their parent atom whereas anions are larger in size than their
parent atom. Explain.
9. Ionization energy of nitrogen is more than ‘O’ and ‘C’ both, why?
10. First ionization energy of boron is less than Be but size of Be is less than Boron. Why?
 Electron gain enthalpy of Mg is positive. Explain.
11. Define Covalency. The reactivity of halogens decreases down the group but alkali
metals increase down the group. Why?
12. Name a halogen, a metal and a group13 element which are liquid at 30°C.
13. The reducing power of elements increases down the group but the reverse is true for
oxidizing power along a period. Why?
14. What is the formula of binary compound formed between:
1st element of 1st group and iodine.
2nd element of 2nd group and 1st element of 17th group.
15. Arrange in the following in increasing order of property indicated:
Size I, F, Cl, Br
Oxidizing power I, F, Br, Cl
