Who stated that the properties of elements are the periodic functions of their atomic masses?

  1. Dobereiner

  2. Newland

  3. Mendeleev

  4. Moseley


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

According to Mendeleev, the properties of elements are the periodic functions of their atomic masses.

Which of the following determines the group for an element in modern periodic table?

  1. Electrons in inner shells

  2. Electrons in outermost shells

  3. Protons in the nucleus

  4. Both protons and neutrons


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

A group is determined by the number of electrons present in outermost shell.

Which of the following is the representative element of group 14?

  1. Oxygen

  2. Nitrogen

  3. Carbon

  4. Boron


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Carbon is the representative element of group 14.

By what name are elements of group 17 known?

  1. Noble gases

  2. Alkali metals

  3. Transition elements

  4. Halogens


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The elements in group 17 are called as halogens because they all form salts.

Which of the following does not belong to zero group?

  1. Helium

  2. Neon

  3. Fluorine

  4. Argon


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Fluorine is an element of halogen group.

Which of the following elements do not form alkali with water?

  1. Sodium

  2. Sulphur

  3. Potassium

  4. Lithium


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Sulphur is a member of oxygen family, which is of group 16. Its oxides are acidic in nature.

What is the determining factor for an element to be kept in a period?

  1. The number of shells in an atom of an element

  2. The number of electrons in outer shell of an atom of an element

  3. The number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom

  4. The number of neutrons in the nucleus of an atom


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The number of shells in an atom determines its period in periodic table. If an element has one shell, it is kept in first period and so on.

Which of the following is the electronic configuration of bromine?

  1. 2, 7

  2. 2, 8, 7

  3. 2, 8, 18, 7

  4. 2, 8, 18, 18, 7


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

It is the electronic configuration of bromine.

Which of the following correctly defines the valency of an atom?

  1. The number of electrons in outer orbit of an atom

  2. The number of electrons in inner orbit of an atom

  3. The number of electrons, which an atom can donate, accept or share

  4. The number of shells present in an atom


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The valency of an atom is equal to the number of electrons, which an atom can donate, accept or share to attain the configuraton of inert elements.

Which of the following is the smallest atom?

  1. Carbon

  2. Nitrogen

  3. Oxygen

  4. Fluorine


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The atomic radius of fluorine atom is 64 pico metre. It is clear that fluorine is the smallest atom among the given options.

Which of the following is the strongest reducing agent?

  1. Sodium

  2. Magnesium

  3. Aluminum

  4. Silicon


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Greater the tendency to lose electrons, stronger is the reducing agent. Here the atom of sodium has the maximum metallic character. So, it is the strongest reducing agent.

Which of the following is larger than its parent atom?

  1. K+

  2. Na+

  3. $Cl^-$

  4. Mg2+


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

$Cl^-$ is an anion. Hence, it is larger than its parent atom Cl.

Which of the following has zero electron affinity?

  1. Hydrogen

  2. Lithium

  3. Helium

  4. Oxygen


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Inert gases have zero electron affinity. Therefore, helium is an inert gas.

Which of the following is correctly matched?

  1. Sodium: (Group I, Period 3)

  2. Aluminium: (Group III, Period 4)

  3. Carbon: (Group V, Period 3)

  4. Nitrogen: (Group V, Period 3)


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Sodium is a member of group I and period 3. Hence, it is correctly matched.

Mendeleev's periodic table does not help in ________________.

  1. systematic study of elements

  2. prediction of new elements

  3. correction of atomic masses

  4. position of isotopes


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The periodic table by Mendeleev could not explain the position of isotopes. It is because it is based upon the atomic masses of elements.
