Q2 FREE PREVIEW
PYQ

aUnh
bUun
cUne
dUue
✓ Correct answer: d) Uue
ExplanationThe element with atomic number 119 is not yet officially discovered, so it has a temporary systematic IUPAC name.According to IUPAC rules: 1 → un 1 → un 9 → en Combine them: un-un-en → Uue Symbol: Uue
Q3 FREE PREVIEW
PYQ
The successive 5 ionisation energies of an element are 800, 2427, 3658, 25024 and 32824 kJ/mol, respectively. By using the above values predict the group in which the above element is present :
aGroup 14
bGroup 4
cGroup 2
dGroup 13
✓ Correct answer: d) Group 13
ExplanationIonization enthalpy = the energy required to remove one electron from an isolated gaseous atom.General trend: Increases across a period (left → right) Decreases down a group Electron gain enthalpy = energy released when an atom gains an electron.More negative = stronger tendency to gain electrons Small size of fluorine Fluorine's atomic radius is very small.When an extra electron is added to fluorine, it goes into the already crowded 2p orbital, where electron–electron repulsion is very high.This reduces the stability gained by accepting that electron.2. Chlorine has larger size Chlorine's 3p orbital is bigger, so it can accommodate the incoming electron more easily with less repulsion.Hence, it releases more energy (i.e., more negative electron gain enthalpy).Both Statement-I and Statement-II are true
Q4 FREE PREVIEW
PYQ

Which of the following electronegativity order is incorrect?

(Memory Based JEE Mains 22/01/2025 ,Shift -1)

a

Mg < Be < B < N

b

Al < Si < C < N

c

S < Cl < O < F

d

Al < Mg < B < N

✓ Correct answer: d)

Al < Mg < B < N

Explanation

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

Q7 FREE PREVIEW
PYQ

The incorrect decreasing order of atomic radii is:

Memory Based Question 28/Jan/25 Morning shift

a

\(\mathrm{Si}>\mathrm{P}>\mathrm{Cl}>\mathrm{F}\)

b

\(\mathrm{Mg}>\mathrm{Al}>\mathrm{C}>\mathrm{O}\)

c

\(\mathrm{Al}>\mathrm{B}>\mathrm{N}>\mathrm{F}\)

d

\(\mathrm{Be}>\mathrm{Mg}>\mathrm{Al}>\mathrm{Si}\)

✓ Correct answer: d)

\(\mathrm{Be}>\mathrm{Mg}>\mathrm{Al}>\mathrm{Si}\)

Explanation

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

Q10 FREE PREVIEW
PYQ

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:

a

Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect

b

Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect

c

Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct

d

Both Statement I and Statement II are correct

✓ Correct answer: d)

Both Statement I and Statement II are correct

Explanation

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.
The order of electron gain enthalpy (EGE) for halogens is:

\(Cl>F>Br>I\)

Q11 FREE PREVIEW
PYQ

Given below are two statements :
Statement (I) : The \(4 f\) and \(5 f\) - series of elements are placed separately in the Periodic table to preserve the principle of classification.

Statement (II) : s-block elements can be found in pure form in nature.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :

[JEE Main 2024, 27 Jan (Shift 1)]

a

Both Statement I and Statement II are true

b

Statement I is false but Statement II is true

c

Statement I is true but Statement II is false

d

Both Statement I and Statement II are false

✓ Correct answer: c)

Statement I is true but Statement II is false

Explanation

Lanthanides (4f) and Actinides (5f) are placed separately to keep the periodic table compact and to preserve its periodicity and group structure.

  • Most s-block elements (like Na, K, Ca) are highly reactive and do not occur in pure form in nature.

  • 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.
