An atom has electronic configuration 2, 8. To which of the following elements would it be chemically similar?

  1. Ar

  2. C

  3. Cl

  4. F


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The atom with electronic configuration 2, 8 is Neon (Ne), which is a noble gas and is chemically similar to Argon (Ar) which is also a noble gas. 

Which of the following statements is true about the Mendeleev’s periodic table?

  1. In Mendeleev’s periodic table, atomic masses of the elements increase in a regular manner.

  2. It was possible to predict the number of elements that could be discovered between two elements.

  3. Existence of hydrogen as a diatomic molecule was explained by the Mendeleev’s periodic table.

  4. Mendeleev used a Sanskrit numeral to name the undiscovered elements.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

From above given statements, option (4) is correct, as Mendeleev used a Sanskrit numeral to name the undiscovered elements. 

Which of the following elements is placed along with cobalt in the same slot in Mendeleev's periodic table?

  1. Silver

  2. Nickel

  3. Mercury

  4. Lead


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Iron (Fe) and nickel (Ni) elements are placed along with cobalt (Co) in the same slot in Mendeleev's periodic table. 

Which of the following elements has the electronic configuration 2, 8, 8, 1?

  1. Sodium

  2. Potassium

  3. Scandium

  4. Calcium


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The correct answer is option (2). Potassium has atomic number 19. Its electronic configuration is 2, 8, 8, 1. 

In case of the triad containing the elements Ba, Ca and Sr, which of the following statements is correct?

  1. The atomic mass of Ba is roughly the average of the atomic masses of the other two elements.

  2. The atomic mass of Sr is roughly the average of the atomic masses of the other two elements.

  3. The atomic mass of Ba is less than the average of the atomic masses of the other two elements.

  4. The atomic mass of Sr is more than the average of the atomic masses of the other two elements.


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

According to the definition of Dobereiner's law of triads, (the atomic mass of the middle element was roughly the average of the atomic masses of the other two elements) the statement (2) is correct.  

Elements with which of the following electronic configurations will show periodicity in their properties?

  1. 2, 5 and 2, 8, 1

  2. 2, 7 and 2, 8, 18, 7

  3. 2, 4 and 2, 8, 5

  4. 2, 8, 4 and 2, 8, 5


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The elements having the same number of electrons in the last valence shell show periodicity in their properties. 

Which of the following elements has the least number of shells in its atom?

  1. Na

  2. Ca

  3. Ga

  4. Ba


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Moving down the period, number of shells increases, as helium (He) belongs to period (I) thus it has least number of shells.

Where is the element with electronic configuration 2, 8, 7 placed in the modern periodic table?

  1. In group – 5

  2. In group – 7

  3. In group – 15

  4. In group – 17


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Element with electronic configuration 2, 8, 7 belongs to halogen family, i.e. group - 17.
