Question 33. In the modern periodic table, the period indicates the value of

• (a)atomic numberr

• (b) mass number

• (c) principal quantum numbe

• (d) azimuthal quantum number

Question 34. Which of the following statements related to the modem periodic table is incorrect?

• (a) The p-block has 6 columns because a maximum of 6 electrons can occupy all the orbitals in a p-shell.

• (b) The d-block has 8 columns because a maximum of 8 electrons can occupy all the orbitals in a d-subshell.

• (c) Each block contains a number of columns equal to the number of electrons that can occupy that subshell.

• (d) The block indicates the value of azimuthal quantum number (l) for the last subshell that received electrons in building up the electronic configuration.

• (b) valence principal quantum number (n)

• (c) electron-electron interaction in the outer orbitals

• (d) none of the factors because their size is the same

37 .Which one of the following statements is incorrect in relation to ionization enthalpy?

• (a) Ionization enthalpy increases for each successive electron.

• (b) The greatest increase in ionization enthalpy is experienced on the removal of an electron from core noble gas configuration.

• (c) End of valence electrons is marked by a big jump in ionization enthalpy.
