The modern periodic table has elements arranged in increasing atomic numbers. It has ________vertical columns and _____horizontal rows.

  1. 18 and 7

  2. 8 and 7

  3. 8 and 8

  4. 18 and 9

  5. None of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Yes, it is correct. The standard form of the table consists of a grid of elements laid out in 18 columns and 7 rows. The lanthanides and actinides are accommodated in 6th and 7th periods respectively.

The only non-metal in first group is _________.

  1. Cs

  2. Na

  3. H

  4. Fr

  5. Li


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Yes, it is the only non-metal in group 1. It is classed with group 1 because, like the alkali metals it has only 1 outer shell.

Which of the following is/are the limitation of Newlands octaves?

  1. Valid for lighter elements only

  2. Octave was valid up to Ca

  3. Isotopes could not be accommodated

  4. Fe was placed far from Co and Ni

  5. All of these


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

Yes, this is the correct answer.

Inner transition elements include _____________.

  1. lanthanides

  2. metalloid

  3. actinides

  4. option 1 and 2

  5. option 1 and 3


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

Yes, it is the correct answer. The f-block transition elements are sometimes known as inner transition elements. The first row of them is called the lanthanides or rare earths. The second row consists of the actinides.

The term "transition elements" most commonly refers to the d-block transition elements. Which of the following elements does not belong to this group?

  1. Iron (Fe)

  2. Copper (Cu)

  3. Gold (Au)

  4. Aluminium (Al)

  5. Silver (Ag)


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Yes, it is the correct answer. Al is not a transition element. The transition elements include the important metals: iron, copper and silver. Iron and titanium are the most abundant transition elements.

Which of the following gases belonging to the inert gases group, is radioactive?

  1. Krypton

  2. Neon

  3. Radon

  4. Xenon

  5. Argon


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

It is a radioactive, colourless, odourless, tasteless noble gas, occurring naturally as an indirect decay product of uranium or thorium.

Elements having the same number of valence electrons are placed in the same group. Elements having valence electrons equal to 3 are placed in which of the following groups?

  1. 3

  2. 13

  3. 12

  4. 18

  5. Any of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Yes, it is the correct answer. Elements having valence electrons equal to 3 are placed in the 13th group.

Which of the following statements regarding the metallic character trend in the periodic table is true?

  1. Ability to lose electrons decreases along the period from left to right.

  2. Ability to form ionic chlorides decreases along the period from left to right.

  3. Ability to form basic oxides decreases along the period from left to right.

  4. Ability to displace hydrogen from dilute acids decreases along the period from left to right.

  5. All of these


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

Yes, all are correct.

Which of the following statements is/are false regarding halogens? a. They exist in all three states. b. They are all metals. c. They are highly electronegative. d. The boiling point decreases downwards.

  1. Only a

  2. Both b and d

  3. Both a and c

  4. Only d

  5. Only b


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Yes, it is the correct answer. Both b and d are  false statements. 

Which of the following statements is/are true, regarding the trends in a periodic table? (a) Valency increases on moving from top to bottom in a group. (b) Metallic properties decreases on moving from left to right in a period. (c) Atomic mass increases on moving from top to bottom in a group. (d) Electronegativity increases on moving from left to right in a period.

  1. only a

  2. only b

  3. both a and b

  4. b, c and d

  5. both b and d


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Yes, it is correct. All the three options are true. Atoms of metals tend to lose electrons, the strong attraction does not allow loss of electrons, causing metallic character to decrease from left to right in a period. Atomic mass increases from top to bottom and across a period the electronegativity increases.

The prediction of Mendeleev regarding the discovery of some elements were exact. Which of the following elements discovered were accommodated into the periodic table without disturbing it?

  1. Scandanium

  2. Noble gases

  3. Germanium

  4. Gallium

  5. All of these


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

Yes, this is the correct answer.

Which of the statement/s is/are incorrect regarding the trends in the periodic table?

  1. Number of valence electrons remains the same while moving from top to bottom in a group.

  2. Number of valence electron increases while moving from left to right in a period.

  3. Valency remains the same on moving from top to bottom in a group.

  4. Valency increases while moving from left to right in a period.

  5. Atomic radius increases on moving from top to bottom in a group and decreases on moving from left to right in a period.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Yes, it is the incorrect statement. Valency first increases up to 4 on moving from left to right in a period and then decreases up to zero.

Which of the following elements, valence electrons and their position in the modern periodic table are correctly matched?

Element Valence electrons Group in PT
He 2 2
Na 1 1
Al 4 13
Cl 7 7
  1. He

  2. Na

  3. Cl

  4. Al

  5. None of these


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Yes, it is correctly matched. Valence electron is one and the group to which it belongs is one.

According to Newlands, sodium and lithium are placed in the same column. Which option gives the correct reason?

  1. They have similar properties.

  2. They have the same atomic mass.

  3. They belong to the same triad.

  4. Both had same size.

  5. None of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Newlands found that every eighth element has similar physical and chemical properties. If one starts with lithium (atomic mass = 6) and arrange the elements in increasing order of their atomic masses, the eighth element will be sodium (atomic mass = 23). Both elements show the same physical and chemical properties.

Who did the first classification of elements and arranged three elements in a group?

  1. Mendeleev

  2. Newlands

  3. Dobereiner

  4. Henry Moseley

  5. None of these


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Yes, it is the correct answer. He arranged three elements in one group which is known as ‘triad’. Such arrangements of elements are known as Dobereiner’s triads.
