JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 11 -p-Block elements - I

Given below are two statements : Statement \(I\) : The electronegativity of group \(14\) elements from \(\mathrm{Si}\) to \(\mathrm{Pb}\) gradually decreases. Statement \(II\) : Group \(14\) contains non-metallic, metallic, as well as metalloid elements. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate from the options given below :

  1. A  Statement \(I\) is false but Statement \(II\) is true
  2. B  Statement \(I\) is true but Statement \(II\) is false
  3. C  Both Statement \(I\) and Statement \(II\) are true
  4. D  Both Statement \(I\) and Statement \(II\) are false
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A)  Statement \(I\) is false but Statement \(II\) is true

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(Gr-14\) \(EN\) \(C\) \(2.5\) \(Si\) \(1.8\) \(Ge\) \(1.8\) \(Sn\) \(1.8\) \(Pb\) \(1.9\) The electronegativity values for elements from \(\mathrm{Si}\) to \(\mathrm{Pb}\) are almost same. So Statement \(\mathrm{I}\) is false.
