(D): 1mathrms^2 2mathrms^2 2mathrmp^2 implies textAtomic Number 6 implies textCarbon (C) ### Step 1: Check Periodic Table Trends All four elements belong to the 2nd period. Electronegativity increases across a period from left to right because nuclear charge (Z_texteff) increases, and atomic radius decreases: textCarbon (D) < textNitrogen (A) < textOxygen (B) < textFluorine (C) On Pauling's scale, the precise values are: - Carbon (D) = 2.55 - Nitrogen (A) = 3.04 - Oxygen (B) = 3.44 - Fluorine (C) = 3.98 ### Step 2: Conclusion The correct increasing order is mathrmD < A < B < C. ### Pattern Recognition Fluorine is the most electronegative element in the entire periodic table (Pauling electronegativity of 4.0). Electronegativity always increases towards the top-right of the main-group elements. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Chemistry: Classification of Elements and Periodicity in Properties

Q84 jee_main_2024_30_jan_morning IUPAC Nomenclature for Elements > 100
If IUPAC name of an element is "Unununnium" then the element belongs to nth group of periodic table. The value of n is
Numerical Answer. Answer: 11 to 11

Solution

### Core Logic Decode the IUPAC name "Unununnium" into its atomic number. Un = 1 Un = 1 Un = 1 Suffix = ium So, the atomic number is 111. ### Step 1: Finding group number For d-block elements with Z > 100, the group number is the last two digits of the atomic number. Since Z = 111, the element belongs to group 11 (the Copper group). ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Chemistry: Classification of Elements and Periodicity in Properties
Q80 jee_main_2024_31_jan_evening Periodic Trends in Properties
Consider the following elements.
Group downarrowA^primeB^prime rightarrow Period
C^primeD^prime
Which of the following is/are true about A^prime, B^prime, C^prime and D^prime? A. Order of atomic radii: B^prime < A^prime < D^prime < C^prime B. Order of metallic character: B^prime < A^prime < D^prime < C^prime C. Size of the element: D^prime < C^prime < B^prime < A^prime D. Order of ionic radii: B^prime + < A^prime + < D^prime + < C^prime + Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
  • A. text1. A only
  • B. text2. A, B and D only
  • C. text3. A and B only
  • D. text4. B, C and D only

Solution

### Core Logic From the grid layout, A^prime and B^prime are in the same period (left to right), while C^prime and D^prime are below them in the next period. In general, moving along a period from left to right, size decreases and metallic character decreases. Moving down a group, size increases and metallic character increases. Atomic Radii / Size: B^prime < A^prime (across period) D^prime < C^prime (across period) A^prime < C^prime and B^prime < D^prime (down the group) Combining them: B^prime < A^prime < D^prime < C^prime. (Statement A is correct, C is incorrect). Metallic Character: B^prime < A^prime and D^prime < C^prime Overall trend follows size closely for these blocks: B^prime < A^prime < D^prime < C^prime. (Statement B is correct). Ionic Radii (+ ions): Follows the same basic trend as atomic radii: B^prime + < A^prime + < D^prime + < C^prime +. (Statement D is correct). ### Step 1: Final Selection Statements A, B, and D are correct. Statement C contradicts A, so it is incorrect. Option 2 is the right choice. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Chemistry: Classification of Elements and Periodicity in Properties
Q70 jee_main_2024_31_jan_morning Electron Gain Enthalpy
The correct sequence of electron gain enthalpy of the elements listed below is A. Ar B. Br C. F D. S Choose the most appropriate from the options given below:
  • A. C > B > D > A
  • B. A > D > B > C
  • C. A > D > C > B
  • D. D > C > B > A

Solution

### Core Logic Electron gain enthalpy (Delta_egH) values are considered with their signs when ordering from largest to smallest algebraically.
ElementDelta_egH text (kJ/mol)
F-333
S-200
Br-325
Ar+96
Arranging these algebraically from highest to lowest: +96 > -200 > -325 > -333 Thus, Ar > S > Br > F, which corresponds to A > D > B > C. ### Pattern Recognition Noble gases always have positive electron gain enthalpies (highest algebraically). Halogens have highly negative values (lowest algebraically). Fluorine is highly negative, Bromine is slightly less negative. Sulfur sits in between. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Chemistry: Classification of Elements and Periodicity in Properties
