3. For the same value of n, the penetration power of orbital follows the order
(a) s = p = d = f (b) p > s > d > f (c) f < d < p < s (d) s < p < d < f
4. Consider the following statements:
I. The radius of an anion is larger than that of parent atom
II. The I.E. increases from left to right in a period generally
III. The electronegativity of an element is the tendency of an isolated atom to attract an electron
The correct statements are -
(a)I alone (b) II alone (c) I and II (d) II and III
5. Arrange Li+, Be2+, B3+ in the Increasing order of atomic radii
6. Explain the variation of
a)Atomic radii b)Ionic radii c)Ionisation enthalpy d)Ionisation enthalpy e)Electron gain
enthalpy f)Electronegativity (g) chemical properties
