A. The properties of elements are the periodic functions of their atomic numbers

B. Non-metallic elements are lesser in number than metallic elements

C. The size of atom doesn’t vary in a group

A. Valency                                      B. Non-metallic character

C. Acidic nature of oxides          D. Size of atom

 

  1. On going from right to left in a period in the periodic table the metallic character of the elements____.

A. Increases

B. Decreases

C. Remain unchanged

D. Decreases first then increases

 

  1. Atom of which of the following element has largest size?

A. F                     B. He                  C. N                     D. Na

 

Answer Key:

  1. B

Explanation: Size of atom decreases from left to right in a period and increases from top to bottom in a group.

  1. D

Explanation: The given electronic configuration is of sodium (atomic number 11). Sodium is a metal and it forms basic oxides.

  1. B

Explanation: Atomic radius increases from top to bottom in a group and decreases from left to right in a period.

  1. A

Explanation: Ionic radii increase down the group in the periodic table.

  1. D

Explanation: Si atom is smallest in size as the size of atom decreases from left to right in a period in the periodic table.

  1. D

Explanation: Al has the largest size. Size of atom decreases from left to right in a period

  1. C

Explanation: The size of atom decreases from left to right in a period in periodic table.

  1. D

Explanation: Size of atom decreases from left to right in a period. Whereas Valency increases and then decreases, Non-metallic character increases, and acidic nature of oxides also increase.

  1. B

Explanation: Metallic character of the elements decreases as the size of atom of element decreases and its tendency to loose electron also decreases.

  1. D

Explanation: Sodium has largest size as size of atom decreases from left to right in a period.
