All the non-metals in the long form of the periodic table are placed under:
1. s-Block
2. p-Block
3. f-Block
4. d-Block
The statement that is incorrect for the periodic classification of elements is:
| 1. | The properties of elements are a periodic function of their atomic number. |
| 2. | Non-metallic elements are lesser in number than metallic elements. |
| 3. | The first ionization energies of elements along a period do not vary in a regular manner with an increase in atomic number. |
| 4. | For transition elements, the d-subshells are filled with electrons monotonically with an increase in atomic number. |
Which among the following options is a nonmetal?
| 1. | Gold | 2. | Mercury |
| 3. | Scandium | 4. | Selenium |
An example of metalloid elements in the periodic table is:

| 3. | As and Si | 4. | Ca and Mg |
Which among the following elements is the bridge element?
1. K
2. O
3. Mg
4. Pb
Sodium generally does not show an oxidation state of +2, because of:
1. High first ionization potential.
2. High second ionization potential.
3. Large ionic radius.
4. High electronegativity.
The electronegativity of the following elements increases in the order of:
| 1. | S < P < N < O | 2. | P < S < N < O |
| 3. | N < O < P < S | 4. | N < P < S < O |
Those in a group that falls under the law of triads include:
