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

Given below are two statements:
Statement-I: The correct order in terms of atomic/ionic radii is \(Al > Mg > Mg^{2+} > Al^{3+}\).
Statement-II: The correct order in terms of the magnitude of electron gain enthalpy is \(Cl > Br > S > O\).
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Statement I is false but Statement II is true

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Correct order of size is \(Mg > Al > Mg ^{2+}> Al ^{3+}\) Atomic size depends mainly upon \(Z _{\text {effective }}\) and shell number. Generally on moving down the group electron affinity decreases and on moving across the period electron affinity increase. In the periodic…
