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

In general, the property (magnitudes only) that shows an opposite trend in comparison to other properties across a period is

  1. A Electronegativity
  2. B Electron gain enthalpy
  3. C Ionization enthalpy
  4. D Atomic radius
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) Atomic radius

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In general across a period atomic radius decreases while ionisation enthalpy, electron gain enthalpy and electronegativity increases because effective nuclear charge \(\left(Z_{\text {eff }}\right)\) increases.
