Correct answer Carries: 4.

Wrong Answer Carries: -1.

Which of the following is a chalcogen?

Chalcogens are group 16 elements. Te (group 16) is a chalcogen, while As (group 15), Br (group 17), and Ge (group 14) are not.

As
Br
Te
Ge

Arrange Be, Mg, Ca in order of increasing atomic radius.

Atomic radius increases down a group due to additional electron shells. For group 2: Be < Mg < Ca.

Ca < Mg < Be
Be < Mg < Ca
Mg < Be < Ca
Ca < Be < Mg

Which element in the third period has the highest second ionization enthalpy?

Second ionization enthalpy is highest when removing an electron from a stable \(\ce{X+}\) ion. Na (after losing one electron, becomes \(\ce{Na+}\) with \(1s^2 2s^2 2p^6\)) has the highest value in period 3 compared to Mg, Si, or P.

Na
Mg
Si
P

Which ion among the following isoelectronic species with 10 electrons has the lowest ionic radius?

For isoelectronic species (10 electrons), ionic radius decreases with increasing nuclear charge. \(\ce{Al^3+}\) (Z=13) has the lowest radius compared to \(\ce{Na+}\), \(\ce{Mg^2+}\), or \(\ce{F^-}\).

\(\ce{Al^3+}\)
\(\ce{Na+}\)
\(\ce{Mg^2+}\)
\(\ce{F^-}\)

Which element in group 15 has the highest electronegativity?

Electronegativity decreases down group 15. N (period 2, 3.0) has the highest value among N, P, As, and Sb.

P
As
Sb
N
4

Which element forms an acidic oxide predominant in group 15?

Group 15 elements form acidic oxides, especially higher oxides. P forms \(\ce{P2O5}\), which is acidic, unlike Be (basic), Ca (basic), or Zn (amphoteric).

P
Be
Ca
Zn

Which element in the third period has the highest fourth ionization enthalpy?

Fourth ionization enthalpy peaks when removing an electron from a stable \(\ce{X^3+}\) ion. Al (after losing three electrons, becomes \(\ce{Al^3+}\) with \(1s^2 2s^2 2p^6\)) has the highest value in period 3.

Al
Na
Mg
Si

Which group 17 element forms the strongest hydrogen bonds in its hydride?

Hydrogen bonding strength depends on electronegativity and size. F (in \(\ce{HF}\)) forms the strongest hydrogen bonds due to its high electronegativity (4.0) and small size, unlike Cl, Br, or I.

Cl
Br
I
F
4

Which d-block element in period 4 has the highest density?

In period 4 d-block (Sc to Zn), density increases with atomic mass and decreases with volume. Cu (group 11) has the highest density due to its compact structure.

Sc
Ti
Cr
Cu
4

Which element has the ground state electronic configuration \(1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 3d^3 4s^2\)?

This configuration (Z=23) corresponds to V (period 4, group 5), with \(3d^3 4s^2\), distinguishing it from Ti (\(3d^2 4s^2\)), Cr (\(3d^5 4s^1\)), or Mn (\(3d^5 4s^2\)).

Ti
V
Cr
Mn
