    Que 9. Which of the following is not correct for iso-electronic ions?
    (1) They have the same number of electrons around their nuclei
    (2) Higher the atomic number, higher will be positive charge in a series of isoelectronic ions of the same period
    (3) Isoelectronic ions have the same electric charge
    (4) An isoelectronic series may have both positively and negatively charged ions
    Ans 9. (3)

    Que 10. Which of the following oxide is expected to react readily with NaOH?
    (1) Na₂O                       (2) CaO                         (3) NO                   (4) Cl₂O₇
    Ans 10. (4) Cl₂O₇
    Reason: When Cl₂O₇ is dipped into water, an acid forms which is known as perchloric acid.
    When NaOH is dipped into water, it reacts with water to form NaO. Thus, this proves that Cl₂O₇ is acidic in nature and NaOH is basic in nature.
    We know that substances that are acidic in nature react strongly with substances of basic nature. Thus, Cl₂O₇ reacts strongly with NaOH.

    Periodic Classification of Elements

    Que 11. When a neutral atom is converted into a cation its
    (1) Atomic weight increases                            (2) Atomic weight decreases
    (3)  Size increases                                            (4) Size decreases
    Ans 11. (3)  Size increases
    Reason: When a neutral atom is converted into a cation more effective nuclear charge is experienced by electrons. Size is inversely proportional to the effective nuclear charge. Thus, the size of a cation is less than the a neutral atom.

    Que 12. Of the following, which one is a correct statement?
    (1) Ionic radius of metal is the same as its atomic radius
    (2) The ionic radius of metal is greater than its atomic radius
    (3) The atomic radius of a non-metal is more than its ionic radius
    (4) The ionic radius of metal is less than its atomic radius
    Ans 12. (4) The ionic radius of metal is less than its atomic radius
    Reason: A metal after losing electrons becomes a cation and the size of the cation is always smaller than its parent atom.

    Que 13. Which of the following N3–, O2–, F– is largest in size?
    (1) N3–                       (2) O2–                      (3) F–                 (4) All of these
    Ans 13. (1) N3–

    Que 14. The radii of F, F–, O and O2– are in the order
    (1) O2– > O > F– > F                                           (2) F– > O2– > F > O
    (3) O2– > F– > O > F                                           (4) O2– > F– > F > O
    Ans 14. (3) O2– > F– > O > F
    Reason: The size of the anion is larger than its parent atom. Also, the more the effective nuclear charge, the lesser is the size. So, the correct order is: O2– > F– > O > F

    Que 15. Which ion has the largest radius?
    (1) Se2–                          (2) F–                               (3) O2–                         (4) Rb+
    Ans 15. (4) Rb+
    Reason: While moving from left to right in the periodic table the nuclear attraction between nucleus and electrons increases and the size decreases. While moving down the group as the number of shells increases the radius increases. Rb+ belongs to the first group and fall in the 5th period.
    O2– and F– are placed in the second period of the periodic table.
    Se2– belongs to the 4th period and 16th group of the periodic table.

    Que 16. The electronic configuration of an element is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p3. What is the atomic number of the element, which is just below the above element in the periodic table?
    (1) 36                                (2) 49                            (3) 33                           (4) 34
    Ans 16. (3) 33
    Reason: The electronic configuration belongs to elements Phosphorous and below it, Arsenic (As) exists with atomic number 33.

    Que 17. Which of the following has the greatest electron affinity?
    (1) I                                2) Br                               (3) F                             (4) Cl
    Ans 17. (4) Cl
    Reason: It is due to the small size of the fluorine atom. As, there are strong inter electron repulsions in the relatively small 2P orbits of fluorine and thus, the incoming electron does not experience much attraction. Therefore, chlorine has an electron gain enthalpy than fluorine.

    Que 18. Which one of the following is the correct order of the size of iodine species?
    (1) I+ > I– > I                                                                  (2) I– > I > I+
    (3) I > I– > I+                                                                  (4) I > I+ > I–
    Ans 18. (2) I– > I > I+
    Reason: The size of the anion is larger than its parent atom and that of the cation is always smaller.

    Que 19. The first ionization potentials (eV) of Be and B respectively are
    (1)  8.29, 8.29                                                                      (2)   9.32, 9.32
    (3)  8.29, 9.32                                                                      (4)   9.32, 8.29
    Ans 19. (4) 9.32, 8.29
    Reason: The ionization energy or ionization potential is the amount of energy required to remove an electron from an isolated atom or molecule. Be has higher potential due to fully filled 2s orbital (Be – 4 1s2, 2s2).

    Que 20. Identify the correct order of the size of the following
    (1)  Ca2+ < K+ < Ar < Cl– < S2–                       (2)    Ar < Ca2+  < K+  <  Cl– < S2–
    (3)   Ca2+ < Ar < K+  < Cl–  < S2–                    (4)   Ca2+ < K+  < Ar < S2–  < Cl–
    Ans 20: (1)  Ca2+ < K+ < Ar < Cl– < S2–
    Reason: Among isoelectronic ions, ionic radii of anions is more than that of cations. Further size of the anion increases with an increase in negative charge and the size of the cation decreases with an increase in positive charge.

    Que 21. The first ionization potential of Na, Mg, Al and Si are in the order
    (a) Na < Mg > Al < Si                                    (b) Na > Mg > Al > Si
    (c) Na < Mg < Al > Si                                    (d) Na > Mg > Al < Si
    Ans 21. (a) Na < Mg > Al < Si
    Reason: Removal of an electron from a stable, fully filled orbital requires more energy than removal of an electron from a partially filled orbital. Thus, ionisation enthalpy for Mg is greater than ionisation enthalpy for Al.

    Que 22. The decreasing order of the ionisation potential in the following elements is
    (a) Ne > Cl > P > S > Al > Mg                          (b) Ne > Cl > P > S > Mg > Al
    (c) Ne > Cl > S > P > Mg > Al                          (d) Ne > Cl > S > P > Al > Mg
    Ans 22. (b) Ne > Cl > P > S > Mg > Al

    (3) Period 2, group 18                                       (4) Period 2, group 1
    Ans 24. (2) Period 3, group 17

    Que 25. The correct order of electropositive nature of Li, Na and K is
    (a) Li > Na > K                                                   (b) Li > K > Na
    (c) Na > K > Li                                                   (d) K > Na > Li
    Ans 25. (d) K > Na > Li
    Reason: Electropositivity increases down the group in a periodic table because of an increase in size and decrease in ionisation enthalpy.

    Que 26. Which one of the following oxides is neutral
    (a) CO                                     (b) SnO2                      (c) ZnO                 (d) SiO2
    Ans 26. (a) CO
    Reason: oxides that neither react with acids or with bases are called neutral oxides.

    Que 27. The strongest reducing agent is
    (a) Cl2                         (b) Cl–                         (c)  Br–                    (d)  I–
    Ans 27. (d) I–
    Reason: Tendency to lose electrons and reducing power is directly related to each other. Large-sized iodide ion has maximum tendency to lose electrons and has maximum reducing power.
