1. Weaker than s-electrons.
2. Stronger than s-electrons.  
3. Same as s-electrons.
4. Same as p-electrons.

The electronegativity of elements from group 1 to group 17 :

1. Decreases

2. Increases

3. Remains constant

4. All of the above

Match list-I with list II and select the correct answer using codes given below:

1. List-I Ions                                List-II Radius (in pm)

(I) Li⁺                                         (a) 216

(II) Na⁺                                      (b) 195

(III) Br^-                                      (c) 60

(IV) I^-                                        (d) 95

     Codes:

      I   II   III   IV

1.   a   b    d    c

2.   b   c    a    d

3.   c   d    b    a

4.   d   c    b    a 

How does the shielding (screening) effect of d-electrons compare with that of p-electrons?

1. Equal to that of p-electrons

2. Much greater than that of p-electrons

3. Same as that of f-electrons

4. Less than that of p-electrons
