COMPREHENSION TYPE
Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions.
Comprehension # 1
In the modern periodic table, elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic numbers which is
related to the electronic configuration. Depending upon the type of orbitals receiving the last electron,
the elements in the periodic table have been divided into four blocks, viz, s, p, d and f. The modern
periodic table consists of 7 periods and 18 groups. Each period begins with the filling of a new energy
shell. In accordance with the Arfbau principle, the seven periods (1 to 7) have 2, 8, 8, 18, 18, 32 and 32
elements respectively. The seventh period is still incomplete. To avoid the periodic table being too long,
the two series of f-block elements, called lanthanoids and actinoids are placed at the bottom of the main
body of the periodic table.
Now answer the following five questions :
1. The element with atomic number 57 belongs to :
(A) s-block (B) p-block (C) d-block (D) f-block
2. The last element of the p-block in 6th period is represented by the outermost electronic configuration :
(A) 7s27p6 (B) 5f146d107s27p0 (C) 4f145d106s26p6 (D) 4f145d106s26p4
3. Which of the elements, whose atomic numbers are given below, cannot be accommodated in the
present set up of the long form of the periodic table ?
(A) 107 (B) 118 (C) 126 (D) 102
4. The electronic configuration of the element which is just above the element with atomic number 43 in
the same group is ________:
(A) 1s22s22p63s23p63d54s2 (B) 1s22s22p63s23p63d54s34p6
(C) 1s22s22p63s23p63d64s2 (D) 1s22s22p63s23p63d74s2
5. The elements with atomic numbers 35, 53 and 85 are all ________ :
(A) noble gases (B) halogens (C) heavy metals (D) light metals
Comprehension # 2
It is not possible to measure the atomic radius precisely since the electron cloud surrounding the atom
does not have a sharp boundary. One practical approach to estimate the size of an atom of a non-
metallic element is to measure the distance between two atoms when they are bound together by a
single bond in a covalent molecule and then dividing by two. For metals we define the term “metallic
radius” which is taken as half the internuclear distance separating the metal cores in the metallic
crystal. The van der waal’s radius represents the over all size of the atoms which includes its valence
shell in a non bonded situation. It is the half of the distance between two similar atoms in separate
molecules in a solid. The atomic radius decreases across a period and increases down the group.
Same trends are observed in case of ionic radius. Ionic radius of the species having same number of
electrons depends on the number of protons in their nuclei. Sometimes, atomic and ionic radii give
unexpected trends due to poor shielding of nuclear charge by d- and f-orbital electrons.
Now answer the following three questions :

6. Which of the following relations is correct, if considered for the same element :
(A) rVanderwaal>rCovalent>rMetallic (B) rCovalent>rMetallic>rVanderwaal
(C) rVanderwaal>rMetallic>rCovalent (D) rMetallic>rCovalent>rVanderwaa
7. K+, CI–, Ca2+, S2– ions are isoelectronic. The decreasing order of their size is :
(A) Ca2+> K+> Cl–> S2– (B) S2–> Cl–> K+> Ca2+
(C) K+> Cl–> Ca2+> S2– (D) S2– > Cl–> Ca2+> K+
8. Select the INCORRECT option regarding atomic/ionic sizes :

(A) Zn > Cu (B) Pb2+ > Pb4+ (C) Zr  Hf (D) N3–< Al3+
Comprehension # 3
The periodicity is related to the electronic configuration. That is, all chemical and physical properties are
a manifestation of the electronic configuration of the elements.
The atomic and ionic radii generally decrease in a period from left to right. As a consequence, the
ionization enthalpies generally increase and electron gain enthalpies become more negative across a
period. In other words, the ionization enthalpy of the extreme left element in a period is the least and
the electron gain enthalpy of the element on the extreme right is the highest negative. This results into
high chemical reactivity at the two extremes and the lowest in the centre. Similarly down the group, the
increase in atomic and ionic radii result in gradual decrease in ionization enthalpies and a regular
decrease (with exception in some third period elements) in electron gain enthalpies in the case of main
group elements.
The loss and gain of electrons can be co-related with the reducing and oxidisingbehaviour, and also
with metallic and non-metallic character respectively, of the elements.
9. The correct order of the metallic character is :
(A) Al > Mg > Na > Si (B) Na > Mg < Al > Si
(C) Na > Mg > Al > Si (D) Al > Mg > Si > Na
10. Considering the elements B, C, N, F, and Si, the correct order of their non-metallic character is :
(A) B > C > Si > N > F (B) Si > C > B > N > F
(C) F > N > C > B > Si (D) F > N > C > Si > B
11. Which of the following statement is correct ?

(A) Ionisation enthalpies of elements decrease along a period and increase along a group in Modern
periodic table.
(B) In the 3rd period of Modern periodic table, the two most reactive elements are sodium and fluorine.
(C) Fluorine has the least negative electron gain enthalpy among all halogens.
(D) Ionisation enthalpy of Pb is greater than that of Sn.
