SOLUTIONS
1. (2) Correct order of electron gain enthalpy is O < S < F < CI since F and O have more electron electron density
with respect to Cl and S.

2. (4) As percentage of s character increases in hybridisation, that atom will be more electronegative.

So electronegativity order of carbon will be in order sp > sp2 > sp3.

3. (2) As the positive charge increases in isoelectronic species, size decreases.

So correct order is S2- > Cl– > Ar > K+ > Ca2+

4. (1) [Ne] 3s2 3p3 is a half filled configuration which is more stable and removal of electron from 3p3 is more
difficult than the 4p3 .

5. (2) The atomic radii decreases on moving from left to right in a period, thus order of sizes for Cl, P and Mg is
Cl < P < Mg. Down the group size increases. Thus overall order is : Cl < P < Mg < Ca.

6. (2) The order of size of given cations is

Li+ < Na+ < Cs+

and the order of size of given anions is

I– > F–

Thus, when the cation is large and anion is smallest, the cation to anion size ratio is maximum.

Hence, cation to anion size ratio is maximum for CsF.

7. (3) In general, the atomic and ionic radii increases on moving down a group. But the elements of second series
(eg, Zr, Nb, Mo etc.) have the almost same radii as the elements of third transition serries (eg,Hf, Ta, W
etc). This is because of lanthanide contraction ie, imperfect sheilding of one 4f - electron by another.

8. (1) IE1 of Na = – Electron given enthalpy of Na+ = – 5.1 Volt.

9. (2) F– = 133 Pm

O2 = 140 Pm

Na+ = 102 Pm

10. (2) In case of isoelectronic species the radius decrease with increase in nuclear charge

Ca2+ < K+ < Ar
