1.

Consider the isoelectronic species, Na+, Mg2+, Fand O2–. The correct order of increasing length of their radii is _________.

a)

Mg2+ < Na+< F< O2-

b)

O2-< F < Na+< Mg2+

c)

O2- < F< Mg2+ < Na+

d)

F< O2- < Mg2+ < Na+

2.

The order of screening effect of electrons of s, p, d and f orbitals of a given shell of an atom on its outer shell electrons is:

a)

p < d < s > f

b)

f > d > p > s

c)

s > p > d > f

d)

f > p > s > d

3.

Among halogens, the correct order of the amount of energy released in electron gain (electron gain enthalpy) is:

a)

F > Cl > Br > I

b)

F < Cl < Br < I

c)

F < Cl > Br > I

d)

F < Cl < Br < I

4.

The period number in the long form of the periodic table is equal to:

a)

magnetic quantum number of any element of the period.

b)

maximum Principal quantum number of any element of the period.

c)

maximum Azimuthal quantum number of any element of the period.

d)

an atomic number of any element of the period.

5.

The formation of the oxide ion, O2– (g), from oxygen atom requires first an exothermic and then an endothermic step as shown below:

O (g) + e– → O(g) ; ∆ H = – 141 kJ mol–1

O (g) + e– → O2– (g) ; ∆ H = + 780 kJ mol–1

Thus the process of formation of O2– in the gas phase is unfavourable even though O2– is isoelectronic with neon. It is due to the fact that

a)

O– ion has a comparatively smaller size than an oxygen atom.

b)

addition of electron in oxygen results in larger size of the ion.

c)

oxygen is more electronegative.

d)

electron repulsion outweighs the stability gained by achieving a noble gas configuration.

6.

Electronic configurations of four elements A, B, C and D are given below :

(A) 1s2 2s2 2p1 (B) 1s2 2s2

(C) 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s1 (D) 1s2 2s2 2p6

Which of the following is the correct order of increasing tendency to lose electron?

a)

D<B<A<C

b)

A<B<C<D

c)

C<A<B<D

d)

D<A<B<C

7.

In which of the following options order of arrangement does not agree with the variation of property indicated against it?

a)

B < C < N < O (increasing first ionisation enthalpy)

b)

Li < Na < K < Rb (increasing metallic radius)

c)
