JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 11 - 3. Classification of elements and periodicity in properties

Given below are two statements :
Statement (\(\mathbf{I}\)): The radius of isoelectronic species increases in the order.
\(\mathrm{Mg}^{2+} \lt \mathrm{Na}^{+} \lt \mathrm{F}^{-} \lt \mathrm{O}^{2-}\)
Statement (II): The magnitude of electron gain enthalpy of halogen decreases in the order.
\(\mathrm{Cl}\gt\mathrm{F}\gt\mathrm{Br}\gt\mathrm{I}\)
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :

  1. A Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
  2. B Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
  3. C Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
  4. D Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) Both Statement I and Statement II are correct

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{r} \propto \mathrm{q}^{-}\)(for isoelectronic species) \(\propto \frac{1}{q^{+}}\) \(\therefore\) Statement I is correct Magnitude of electron gain enthalpy \(\mathrm{Cl}>\mathrm{F}>\mathrm{Br}>\mathrm{I}\)
