Which of the following statements are true?
A. Unlike Ga that has a very high melting point, Cs has a very low melting point.
B. On Pauling scale, the electronegativity values of N and Cl are not the same.
C. \(Ar , K ^{+}, Cl ^{-}, Ca ^{2+}\), and \(S ^{2-}\) are all isoelectronic species.
D. The correct order of the first ionization enthalpies of \(Na , Mg , Al\), and Si is \(Si > Al > Mg > Na\).
E. The atomic radius of Cs is greater than that of Li and Rb .
Choose the correct answer from the options given below

  1. A A, B and E only
  2. B C and E only
  3. C C and D only
  4. D A, C and E only
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) C and E only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(C) \(Ca ^{2+}, K ^{+}, Ar , Cl ^{-}, S ^{2-}\) all species have 18 electrons that's why these are isoelectronic species.
(E) Radius order \(Cs > Rb > K > Na > Li\)
