Consider The Following Statements And Choose The Incorrect One:

Detailed Solution for Test: Periodic Classification of Elements (Hard) - Question 5
Here, all the statements are incorrect. Hence, your answer will be option (d). In option (a), In Mendeleev’s periodic table, the elements are arranged on the basis of their atomic masses and also on the similarity of chemical properties, whereas the modern periodic table is based on the atomic numbers of elements. In option (b): Dobereiner’s triads also exist in the columns of Newlands’ classification of elements based on the law of octaves. In option (c): The periodic table is a chart of elements prepared in such a way that the elements having similar properties occur in the same vertical column or group. It is called periodic because the elements having similar properties are repeated after certain intervals or periods, and it is called a table because the elements are arranged in the tabular form.

Test: Periodic Classification of Elements (Hard) - Question 16

Which Of The Following Gives The Correct Increasing Order Of The Atomic Radii Of O, F, and N?

Detailed Solution for Test: Periodic Classification of Elements (Hard) - Question 16
As we move from left to right in a period, the atomic number of each succeeding element increases by 1. So, the electrons are attracted close to the nucleus, and hence, the atomic size decreases, along a period from left to right. Therefore, the increasing order of radii is F, O, N as atomic number of F, O, and N are 9, 8, and 7 respectively. Due to which F belongs to 17th group. O belongs to 16th group and N belongs to 15th group. Note: Atomic radii is the distance between the centre of the nucleus and the outermost shell which contains electrons in an isolated system.
