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

The following statements concern elements in the periodic table. Which of the following is true ?

  1. A For Group \(15\) elements, the stability of \(+5\) oxidation state increases down the group
  2. B Elements of Group \(16\) have lower ionization enthalpy values compared to those of Group \(15\) in the corresponding periods
  3. C The Group \(13\) elements are all metals
  4. D All the elements in Group \(17\) are gases
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Elements of Group \(16\) have lower ionization enthalpy values compared to those of Group \(15\) in the corresponding periods

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Due to extra stable half-filled \(p-\) orbital electronic configurations of Group \(15\) elements, larger amount of energy is required to remove electrons compared to Group \(16\) elements
