1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |
Which is the correct order of ionization energies?
1. F- > F > Cl- > Cl
2. F > Cl > Cl- > F-
3. F- > Cl- > Cl > F
4. F- > Cl- > F > Cl
The element having very high electron affinity but zero ionisation enthalpy is:
1. He (due to inert gas configuration)
2. Be (due to fully filled subshell)
3. H (due to presence of allotropes)
4. None of the above
The correct order of ionization energies for the elements Si, P, Ge, and As, from lowest to highest, is:
1. | Si < P < Ge < As | 2. | As < Ge < P < Si |
3. | Ge < Si < As < P | 4. | Ge < As < Si < P |
