JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2024 - 8th April Morning Shift - No. 9)
LIST I (Elements) |
LIST II (Properties in their respective groups) |
||
---|---|---|---|
A. | $$\mathrm{Cl,S}$$ | I. | Elements with highest electronegativity |
B. | $$\mathrm{Ge,As}$$ | II. | Elements with largest atomic size |
C. | $$\mathrm{Fr,Ra}$$ | III. | Elements which show properties of both metals and non-metal |
D. | $$\mathrm{F,O}$$ | IV. | Elements with highest negative electron gain enthalpy |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Explanation
To match the elements from List I with their corresponding properties in List II, let's analyze each pair:
A. $$\mathrm{Cl,S}$$
These elements are known for having high negative electron gain enthalpy (energy released when an electron is added to an atom). Chlorine ($$\mathrm{Cl}$$) and sulfur ($$\mathrm{S}$$) are both elements that release a significant amount of energy when they gain an electron.
Hence, they match with IV: Elements with highest negative electron gain enthalpy.
B. $$\mathrm{Ge,As}$$
Germanium ($$\mathrm{Ge}$$) and arsenic ($$\mathrm{As}$$) are metalloids, meaning they show properties of both metals and non-metals.
Hence, they match with III: Elements which show properties of both metals and non-metal.
C. $$\mathrm{Fr,Ra}$$
Francium ($$\mathrm{Fr}$$) and radium ($$\mathrm{Ra}$$) are elements that have very large atomic sizes, being at the bottom of their respective groups on the periodic table.
Hence, they match with II: Elements with largest atomic size.
D. $$\mathrm{F,O}$$
Fluorine ($$\mathrm{F}$$) and oxygen ($$\mathrm{O}$$) are elements with the highest electronegativity, meaning they strongly attract electrons toward themselves.
Hence, they match with I: Elements with highest electronegativity.
Summarizing, we have:
A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I
The correct option is:
Option D
A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I
