Total Questions : 30 | Page 1 of 3 pages
Question 1. In a given shell, the order of screening effect is
  1.    S>p>d>f
  2.    f>d>p>s
  3.    p>d>s>f
  4.    d>f>s>p
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> S>p>d>f
:
A
In a given shell the screening effect or shielding effect decreases from s to f.
Question 2. Generally the ionization enthalpy in a period increases but there are some exceptions, the one which is not an exception is?
  1.    Be and B
  2.    N and O
  3.    Mg and Al
  4.    Na and Mg
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Na and Mg
:
D
The ionization energy increases normally from sodium to magnesium as Mg has a higher effective nuclear charge as compared to Na.
In the case of Be and B, and N and O, Be is more stable because of its electronic configuration.
Question 3. Correct orders of \(I^{st}\) I.P. are -
(i) Li < B < Be < C       
(ii) O < N < F
(iii) Be < N < Ne
  1.    (i), (ii)
  2.    (ii), (iii)
  3.    (i), (iii)
  4.    (i), (ii), (iii)
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> (i), (ii), (iii)
:
D
Down the group ionization potential (ionization enthalpy) decreases with increase in size.
Across a period, ionization potential decreases and then increases at the noble gasses.

Elements of group 2(IIA) have I.E more than that of group 13(IIA) as they have completely filled 's' orbital. Be > B
Elements of group 15(VA) have more than that of group 16(VIA) as they have half filled 'P' subshell. N > O
Inert gas elements have the highest I.P in a given period due to a stable electronic configuration.
Question 4. The factor not affecting ionisation enthalpy is?
  1.    Size of atom
  2.    Charge in the nucleus
  3.    Type of bonding in the crystal lattice
  4.    Type of electron involved
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Type of bonding in the crystal lattice
:
C
Electron is removed from an isolated neutral gaseous atom and so type of bonding in the crystalline lattice is not associated with ionization enthalpy.
Question 5. Which of the following is the correct order of the atomic size of C, N, P and S?
  1.    N < C < S < P
  2.    N < C < P < S
  3.    C < N < S < P
  4.    C < N < P < S
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> N < C < S < P
:
A
In a group, the size of an atom increases as one proceeds from top to bottom.
This is due to the successive addition of shells.
In a period, the size of an atom decreases from left to right.
This is because the effective nuclear charge increases from left to right in the same period, thereby bringing the outermost shell closer to the nucleus.
So, the correct order of atomic size are as follows:
N < C < S < P
Which Of The Following Is The Correct Order Of The Atomic Si...
Question 6. Element P, Q, R and S belong to the same group. The oxide of P is acidic, oxide of Q and R are amphoteric while the oxide of S is basic. Which of the following elements is the most electropositive ?
  1.    P
  2.    Q
  3.    R
  4.    S
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> S
:
D
In general, the electropositive character of the oxide's central atom will determine whether the oxide will be acidic or basic. The more electropositive the central atom the more basic the oxide. The more electronegative the central atom, the more acidic the oxide. Electropositive character increases from right to left across the periodic table and increases down the column. The trend of acid-base behaviour is from strongly basic oxides on the left-hand side to strongly acidic ones on the right, via an amphoteric oxide (aluminium oxide) in the middle.
Question 7. Which of the following transitions involves maximum amount of energy change?
  1.    M−(g) → M(g)
  2.    M(g) → M+(g)
  3.    M+(g) → M2+(g)
  4.    M2+​(g) → M3+​(g)
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> M2+​(g) → M3+​(g)
:
D
More energy is required to remove an electron from acation with a higher positive charge.
Question 8. Which carbon atom will show minimum electronegativity -
H 1C  2C - C3H - C4H - C5H      
  1.    Fifth
  2.    Third
  3.    First
  4.    Second
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Fifth
:
A
sp3 - hybridised carbon has 25% s character , 75% p character.
sp2 33.3% s character, 66.6% p character
sp 50% s and 50% p
More the s character, more is the electronegativity.
H C1 C2 - C3H =C4H - C5H3
1 & 2 sp
5th carbon issp3
3 & 4 sp2
Question 9. One mole of magnesium in the vapour state absorbed 1200 kJ mole1 of energy. If the first and second ionization energies of Mg are 750 and 1450 kJ mole1 respectively, the final composition of the mixture is
  1.    31% Mg+ + 69 % Mg+
  2.    69% Mg+ + 31 % Mg+
  3.    86% Mg+ + 14% Mg+2
  4.    14% Mg+ + 86% Mg+2
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 69% Mg+ + 31 % Mg+
:
B
Energy absorbed for converting Mg(g) Mg(g)+ = 750 kJ
Energy left unconsumed = 1200 = 750 = 450 kJ.
This energy will be required to convertMg(g)+ toMg(g)+2
Thus % ofMg(g)+2 = 4501450 × 100 = 31%
% ofMg(g)+ = 100 - 31 = 69%
Question 10. The  IP1, IP2, IP3, IP4, IP5 of an element are 7.1, 14.3, 34.5, 46.8, 162.2 eV respectively. Which element among the following would that be? 
 
  1.    Na
  2.    Si
  3.    F
  4.    Ca
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Si
:
B
Among the Ionization Potentials given there is a huge jump from IP4to IP5, which shows that element attains stable inert gas configuration after losing 4 electrons.
It should be an element from 14thgroup (IVA). Among the given elements, the answer will be Si.
