Which of the following electronegativity order is incorrect?
(Memory Based JEE Mains 22/01/2025 ,Shift -1)
Al < Mg < B < N
The electronegativity values are:
Al ≈ 1.5
Mg ≈ 1.2
B ≈ 2.0
N ≈ 3.0
The order is incorrect because Mg has a lower electronegativity than Al
Number of elements from the following that CANNOT form compounds with valencies which match with their respective group valencies is

The incorrect decreasing order of atomic radii is:
Memory Based Question 28/Jan/25 Morning shift
\(\mathrm{Be}>\mathrm{Mg}>\mathrm{Al}>\mathrm{Si}\)
Atomic radius is directly related to the size of the atom and the number of shells. it is inversely proportional to the effective nuclear charge. When we move down the group atomic radius increases and across the period atomic radius decreases. Hence, the incorrect order of radii Be >Mg > Al >Si

Given below are two statements :
Statement (I) : The radii of isoelectronic species increases in the order
\(M{g}^{2+} Statement (II) : The magnitude of electron gain enthalpy of halogen decreases in the order, Cl>F>Br>I
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
Isoelectronic species have the same number of electrons but different nuclear charges. The greater the nuclear charge (Z), the stronger the attraction on electrons, making the radius smaller.

\(Cl>F>Br>I\)
Given below are two statements :

They are usually found as compounds (e.g., NaCl, K₂CO₃).
-
Only a few like beryllium (Be) or magnesium (Mg) may exist in less reactive or near-pure forms, but not commonly.
