A common trend in both groups I and II elements in the periodic table, as the atomic number increases, is :

1. Oxidizing power increases

2. Atomic radius increases

3. Maximum valency increases

4. Reactivity with water decreases

Amongst the following electronic configurations, the highest ionization energy
is represented by:

1. [Ne]3s²3p³

2. [Ne]3s²3p²

3. [Ar]3d¹⁰4s²4p³

4. [Ne]3s²3p¹

The electronic configuration of the most electropositive element is :

1. [He]2s¹

2. [Xe]6s¹

3. [He]2s²

4. [Xe]6s²

Elements of group IB  is called as:

Element that has the greatest tendency to lose an electron is :

Elements with an electronic configuration 1s² 2s²2p⁶  3s²3p⁶3d¹⁰ 4s²4p⁶4d¹⁰ 5s²5p³ belong to the group :

Those in a group that falls under the law of triads include:

1. Cl, Br, I

2. C, N, O

3. Na, K, Rb

4. H, O, N

 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.
