$$(A), (B)$$ and $$(C)$$ are elements in the third short period. Oxide of $$(A)$$ is ionic, that of $$(B)$$ is amphoteric and of $$(C)$$ a giant molecule. $$(A), (B)$$ and $$(C)$$ have atomic number in the order
A
$$\left( A \right) < \left( B \right) < \left( C \right)$$
B
$$\left( C \right) < \left( B \right) < \left( A \right)$$
C
$$\left( A \right) < \left( C \right) < \left( B \right)$$
D
$$\left( B \right) < \left( A \right) < \left( C \right)$$
Answer :
$$\left( A \right) < \left( B \right) < \left( C \right)$$
$$A, B$$ and $$C$$ are magnesium, aluminium and silicon. Magnesium forms ionic oxide, $$\left( {MgO} \right)$$ aluminium forms amphoteric oxide, $$\left( {A{l_2}{O_3}} \right)$$ and silicon forms a giant molecule $$\left( {Si{O_2}} \right).$$
203.
In the long form of the periodic table, the valence shell electronic configuration of $$5{s^2}5{p^4}$$ corresponds to the element present in :
A
Group 16 and period 6
B
Group 17 and period 6
C
Group 16 and period 5
D
Group 17 and period 5
Answer :
Group 16 and period 5
Tellurium $$(Te)$$ has $$5{s^2}5{p^4}$$ valence shell configuration. It belongs to group 16 and present in period 5 of the periodic table.
204.
The decreasing order of the ionization potential of 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
$$Ne > Cl > S > P > Al > Mg$$
Answer :
$$Ne > Cl > P > S > Mg > Al$$
Closed shell $$(Ne),$$ half filled $$(P)$$ and completely filled configuration $$(Mg)$$ are the cause of higher value of $$I.E.$$
205.
The species $$Ar,{K^ + }$$ and $$C{a^{2 + }}$$ contain the same number of electrons. In which order do their radii increase?
A
$$Ar < {K^ + } < C{a^{2 + }}$$
B
$$C{a^{2 + }} < Ar < {K^ + }$$
C
$$C{a^{2 + }} < {K^ + } < Ar$$
D
$${K^ + } < Ar < C{a^{2 + }}$$
Answer :
$$C{a^{2 + }} < {K^ + } < Ar$$
$$C{a^{2 + }} < {K^ + } < Ar$$
$$Ar,{K^ + }$$ and $$C{a^{2 + }}$$ are isoelectronic i.e. with same number of electrons, 18. For isoelectronic species ionic radii decreases with increase in effective (relative) positive charge. Also $$Ar, K$$ and $$Ca$$ belong to the same period ( 3rd period ).
206.
What are the two radii shown as $$'a'$$ and $$'b'$$ in the figure known as?
A
$$a =$$ Atomic radius, $$b =$$ Molecular radius
B
$$a =$$ Covalent radius, $$b =$$ van der Waals' radius
C
$$a =$$ Ionic radius, $$b =$$ Covalent radius
D
$$a =$$ Covalent radius, $$b =$$ Atomic radius
Answer :
$$a =$$ Covalent radius, $$b =$$ van der Waals' radius
$$'a'$$ represents covalent radius which is one-half of the distance between the nuclei of two bonded atoms. $$'b'$$ represents van der Waals' radius which is one-half of the distance between nuclei of two closest molecules.
207.
Which transition involves maximum amount of energy ?
A
$${M^ - }\left( g \right) \to M\left( g \right) + {e^ - }$$
B
$${M^ - }\left( g \right) \to {M^ + }\left( g \right) + 2{e^ - }$$
C
$${M^ + }\left( g \right) \to {M^{2 + }}\left( g \right) + {e^ - }$$
D
$${M^{2 + }}\left( g \right) \to {M^{3 + }}\left( g \right) + {e^ - }$$
Answer :
$${M^{2 + }}\left( g \right) \to {M^{3 + }}\left( g \right) + {e^ - }$$
The energy involved is ionisation energy $$(I.E.).$$ Further the 3rd ionisation energy will be greater than the 2nd and 1st.
208.
$${K^ + }$$ and $$C{l^ - }$$ ions are isoelectronic. Which of the statements is not correct?
A
Both $${K^ + }$$ and $$C{l^ - }$$ ions contain 18 electrons.
B
Both $${K^ + }$$ and $$C{l^ - }$$ ions have same configuration.
C
$${K^ + }$$ ion is bigger than $$C{l^ - }$$ ion in ionic size.
D
$$C{l^ - }$$ ion is bigger than $${K^ + }$$ ion in size.
Answer :
$${K^ + }$$ ion is bigger than $$C{l^ - }$$ ion in ionic size.
$${K^ + }$$ is smaller than $$C{l^ - }.$$
209.
In crystals of which of the following ionic compounds would you expect maximum distance between centres of cations and anions?
A
$$LiF$$
B
$$CsF$$
C
$$Csl$$
D
$$Lil$$
Answer :
$$Csl$$
On moving from top to bottom in a group of periodic table distance between ions in ionic compounds increases. Hence, it is maximum in $$Csl.$$
210.
The van der Waal and covalent radii of fluorine atom respectively from the following figure are.
A
$$219\,pm,72\,pm$$
B
$$75\,pm,72\,pm$$
C
$$147\,pm,\,72\,pm$$
D
$$147\,pm,\,144\,pm$$
Answer :
$$147\,pm,\,72\,pm$$
Covalent radius is radius of an atom in its bound state i.e., in fluorine it is half of
distance between two covalently bonded fluorine atoms; van der Waal radii is onehalf of the distance between the nuclei of two identical non-bonded isolated atoms. These atoms are attracted toward each other through weak van der Waal’s force hence van der Waal radii are very large.
