Anoushka Yadav answered |
Lothar Meyer proposed the periodic table in 1864. He arranged the elements in order of increasing atomic weights. He noticed that similarities appeared in both physical and chemical properties of the elements. The correct answer is option 'C' which means similarities appear in both physical and chemical properties.
Explanation:
The periodic table arranges the elements in a way that helps in understanding their properties. The modern periodic table is based on the electronic configuration of the elements. But the original periodic table was based on the atomic weight of the elements. Lothar Meyer was the first to realize that there is a periodicity in the properties of the elements when they are arranged in order of increasing atomic weights.
Physical properties are those that can be observed or measured without changing the chemical composition of the substance. Some examples of physical properties are:
- Melting point
- Boiling point
- Density
- Electrical conductivity
- Thermal conductivity
- Atomic radius
- Ionic radius
- Electronegativity
Chemical properties are those that can be observed during a chemical reaction. Some examples of chemical properties are:
- Reactivity with acids
- Reactivity with oxygen
- Reactivity with water
- Reduction potential
- Oxidation potential
Meyer observed that when the elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic weights, there is a periodicity in their physical and chemical properties. This means that elements with similar atomic weights have similar physical and chemical properties. For example, lithium, sodium, and potassium have similar physical and chemical properties because they all belong to the same group and have similar atomic weights.
Conclusion:

He noticed that similarities appeared in both physical and chemical properties of the elements. When the elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic weights, there is a periodicity in their physical and chemical properties.

EduRev NEET answered |
Sodium forms a basic oxide because it is a metal. Metals generally form basic oxides because they tend to donate electrons to oxygen atoms. In the case of sodium, when it reacts with oxygen, it forms sodium oxide, in which each sodium atom donates one electron to oxygen. This results in the formation of sodium ions (Na+) and oxide ions (O2-), which can combine to form the ionic compound sodium oxide. Sodium oxide is basic because it can react with water to form a solution of sodium hydroxide, a strong base.

In option D, after removal of second valence electron from 3s orbital, the ion formed achieves noble gas configuration. Therefore, to remove the third electron from 2p orbital, a lot of energy is required. Thus, there is an abnormally high difference between second and third ionization enthalpies.

Let's understand it by taking the elements of the 4th period.
In the fourth period, there are 18 elements. The types of subshells used in the 4th period are s, p, and d.
Number of orbitals of s subshell = 1
Number of orbitals of p subshell = 3
Number of orbitals of d subshell = 5
Total number of orbitals = 9
The total number of elements is 18 i.e. twice the total number of orbitals.

- The element was to be called unununium (with the corresponding symbol of Uuu),a systematic element name as a placeholder, until the element was discovered (and the discovery then confirmed) and a permanent name was decided on.
- Although widely used in the chemical community on all levels, from chemistry classrooms to advanced textbooks, the recommendations were mostly ignored among scientists in the field, who called it element 111, with the symbol of E111, (111) or even simply 111.

Introduction:
In order to determine which element is highly electropositive among the elements with atomic numbers 9, 12, 16, and 36, we need to understand the concept of electronegativity and how it relates to electropositivity. Electronegativity is a measure of an atom's ability to attract electrons towards itself in a chemical bond. Electropositivity, on the other hand, is the tendency of an atom to lose electrons and form positive ions. Therefore, an element with low electronegativity and high electropositivity will readily lose electrons and form positive ions.
Explanation:
Let's analyze each element and its electropositivity based on their atomic numbers:
Element with atomic number 9 (Fluorine):
Fluorine is a halogen and has a high electronegativity. It readily gains an electron to achieve a stable electron configuration. Therefore, it is not highly electropositive.
Element with atomic number 12 (Magnesium):
Magnesium is an alkaline earth metal and has a low electronegativity. It readily loses its two valence electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. Therefore, it is highly electropositive.
Element with atomic number 16 (Sulfur):
Sulfur is a nonmetal and has a moderate electronegativity. It can gain or lose electrons depending on the reaction conditions. However, it is not highly electropositive as it tends to gain electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.
Element with atomic number 36 (Krypton):
Krypton is a noble gas and has a very high electronegativity. It has a stable electron configuration and tends not to lose or gain electrons. Therefore, it is not highly electropositive.
Conclusion:
Based on the analysis, the element with atomic number 12 (Magnesium) is highly electropositive among the elements with atomic numbers 9, 12, 16, and 36. It has a low electronegativity and readily loses its two valence electrons to form a stable 2+ ion.

Ishani Pillai answered |
The 3d transition series starts from atomic number 21, which is the element Scandium (Sc).
Explanation:
- The transition elements or transition metals are a group of elements in the periodic table that have partially filled d orbitals in their valence shells.
- The 3d transition series refers to the elements that have their d orbitals filled progressively, from scandium (Sc) to zinc (Zn), as the atomic number increases.
- Scandium has an atomic number of 21, which means it has 21 protons in its nucleus and 21 electrons surrounding it.
- Scandium is the first element in the 3d transition series and has one electron in its 3d orbital.
- The other elements in the 3d transition series are titanium (Ti), vanadium (V), chromium (Cr), manganese (Mn), iron (Fe), cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), and zinc (Zn).
- These elements have their d orbitals filled progressively, from 1 electron in Sc to 10 electrons in Zn.
- The 4d and 5d transition series follow the same pattern, with the d orbitals being progressively filled from the first element in each series.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B, 21.

Electron affinity values are high in case of halogen because halogens have seven electrons (ns2np5) in the valence shell, they have a strong tendency to acquire the nearest inert gas configuration by gaining an electron from the metallic atom and form halide ions easily.

Ashwini Khanna answered |
Due to small size and high electronegativity of fluorine, there exists repulsion between the nucleus of two fluorine atoms which ultimately results in the weakening of the F-F bond. Hence, the bond dissociation enthalpy of F

is less than that of Cl

The smaller the atomic size, larger is the value of ionisation potential. Further the atoms having half filled or fully filled orbitals are comparitively more stable, hence more energy is required to remove the electron from such atoms.
