Question

Which of the following statements are not correct?

A. The electron gain enthalpy of F is more negative than that of Cl. B. Ionization enthalpy decreases in a group of periodic table. C. The electronegativity of an atom depends upon the atoms bonded to it. D. Al2_2O3_3 and NO are examples of amphoteric oxides.

Options
  1. a

    A, B, C and D

  2. b

    A, B and D only

  3. c

    B and D only

  4. d

    A and D only

Correct Answerd

A and D only

Detailed Solution

🧠 Three of these four statements contain classic errors about periodic trends The question asks which are NOT correct. Check each carefully.

🗺️ Statement check A: "EGE of F is more negative than Cl" — Wrong. Cl has more negative EGE (349-349 vs 328-328 kJ/mol) because F's 2p orbital is too small and repels the incoming electron. NOT correct. B: "IE decreases down a group" — This is correct as stated. Correct. C: "Electronegativity depends on the atoms bonded to it" — EN is not a fixed property of the element, and it depends on the bond partner of the atom. Correct. D: "\ceAl2O3\ce{Al2O3} and NO are amphoteric oxides" — \ceAl2O3\ce{Al2O3} is amphoteric but NO is a neutral oxide. NOT correct.

Statements A and D are NOT correct.
