The first ionisation potential of aluminium is smaller than that of magnesium because
A
Atomic size of $$Al >$$ Atomic size of $$Mg.$$
B
Atomic size of $$Al <$$ Atomic size of $$Mg.$$
C
$$Al$$ has one electron in $$p$$ - orbital
D
None of these
Answer :
$$Al$$ has one electron in $$p$$ - orbital
$$Al\left( {3{s^2}{p^1}} \right)$$ and $$Mg\left( {3{s^2}} \right).$$ Lower energy is required to remove $$3{p^1}$$ electron than $$3{s^1}$$ electron ( penetrating effect is $$s > p > d > f\,).$$
Secondly $$Mg$$ has stable electronic configuration than $$Al$$

Part of the periodic table showing $$p$$ - block is depicted below. What are
the elements shown in the zig-zag boxes called? What is the nature of
the elements outside this boundary on the right side of the table?
A
Transition elements, metalloids
B
Metalloids, non-metals
C
Metals, non-metals
D
Non-metals, noble gases
Answer :
Metalloids, non-metals
Metalloids are shown by the zig-zag boxes and the elements present on the right side of the boundary are nonmetals. Metals are present on the left side of the periodic table.
243.
Which of the following is not the correct order for the stated property ?
A
$$Ba > Sr > Mg;$$ atomic radius
B
$$F > O > N:$$ first ionization enthalpy
C
$$Cl > F > I;$$ electron affinity
D
$$O > Se > Te;$$ electronegativity
Answer :
$$F > O > N:$$ first ionization enthalpy
On moving along the period, ionization enthalpy increases.
In second period, the order of ionization enthalpy should be as follows $$:F > O > N$$
But $$N$$ has half-filled structure, therefore, it is more stable than $$O.$$ That’s why its ionization enthalpy is higher than $$O.$$ Thus, the correct order of $$IE$$ is $$F > N > O.$$
244.
Which statement is false?
A
Elements of group 16 are called chalcogens.
B
Elements of group 15 are all metalloids.
C
Elements of group 1 are alkali metals.
D
Elements of group 14 are neither strongly electronegative nor strongly electropositive.
Answer :
Elements of group 15 are all metalloids.
Group 15 includes $$N, P$$ as non-metals, $$As$$ and $$Sb$$ as metalloids and $$Bi$$ is a metal.
245.
In a given energy level, the order of penetration effect of different orbitals is
A
$$f < d < p < s$$
B
$$s = p = d = f$$
C
$$s < p < d < f$$
D
$$p > s > d > f$$
Answer :
$$f < d < p < s$$
Penetration effect order is $$s > p > d > f.$$

The ionisation of hydrogen atom would give rise to
A
hydride ion
B
hydronium ion
C
proton
D
hydroxyl ion
Answer :
proton
Hydrogen have one proton and one electron, when it ionise, i.e. it lose one electron, then only proton is left in the nucleus, so $${H^ + }$$ ion is formed during ionisation which is also called proton.
\[\underset{\left( \begin{smallmatrix}
{{e}^{-}}=1 \\
p=1
\end{smallmatrix} \right)}{\mathop{H}}\,\to \underset{\text{Proton}}{\mathop{{{H}^{+}}}}\,+{{e}^{-}}\]
