According to Moseley, a straight-line graph is obtained on plotting-

1. The frequencies of characteristic X-rays of elements against their atomic numbers.

2. The square of the frequencies of characteristic X-rays of elements against their atomic numbers

3. The square root of the frequencies of characteristic X-rays of elements against their atomic numbers

4. The reciprocal of the frequencies of characteristic X-rays of elements against their atomic numbers.

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

Incorrect statement among the following is -

1. Van der Waals' radius of iodine is more than its covalent radius

2. All isoelectronic ions belong to the same period of the periodic table

3. $\mathrm{I}.{\mathrm{E}}_1$ of N is higher than that of O while $\mathrm{I}.{\mathrm{E}}_2$ of O is higher than that of N

4. The electron affinity N is almost zero while that of P is 74.3 kJ $mo{l}^{-1}$

Consider the following statements:

(I) Rutherford name was associated with the development of periodic table.

(II) A metal M having electronic configuration $1s^2, 2s^2, 2p^6, 3s^2, 3p^6 ,3d^{10}, 4s^1$ is d-block element.

(III) Diamond is  an element.

(IV) The electronic configuration of the most electronegative elements is $1s^2, 2s^2, 2p^5,$ 

and select the correct one from the given codes.

(A) I, II, IV                                      (B) I, II, III, IV

(C) II, IV                                         (D) I, III, IV

There are four elements 'p', 'q', 'r' and 's' having atomic number Z-1, Z, Z+1 and Z+2 respectively. If there element 'q' is an inert gas, select the correct answers from the following statements.

(i) 'p' has most negative electron gain enthalpy in the respective period.

(ii) 'r' is an alkali metal.

(iii) 's' exists in +2 oxidation state.

(1) (i) and (ii)                     

(2) (ii) and (iii)

(3) (i) and (iii)                     

(4) (i), (ii) and (iii)

Assertion: The $5^{th}$ period of the periodic table contains 18 elements and not 32.

Reason: When n = 5, the value of l = 0, 1, 2, 3. The order in which the energy of available orbits 4d, 5s and 5p increases is 5s < 4d < 5p, and the total number of orbitals available is 9, thus 18 electrons can be accommodated.
