Which of the following statement is not correct?

Option: 1

The first ionisation energies (in kJ/mol) of carbon, silicon, germanium, tin and lead are 1086, 786, 761, 708 and 715 respectively.


Option: 2

Down the group, electronegativity decreases from B to Ti in boron family.           


Option: 3

Among oxides of the elements of carbon family, CO is neutral, GeO is acidic and SnO is amphoteric.


Option: 4

The 4f- and 5f- inner transition elements are placed separately at the bottom of the periodic table to maintain its structure.


Answers (1)

 

Variation of electronegativity along group -

Electronegativity generally decreases down a group in the periodic table.

- wherein

e.g. from fluorine to astatine.

 

 

Scale of electronegativity -

A number of numerical scales of electronegativity of elements have been developed.

- wherein

e.g. Pauling scale, Mulliken, Jaffe scale etc.

 

 

 

 

(A), (C) and (D) are correct statements

(B) first decreases from B\; to\; Al and then increases marginally owing to discrepancies in atomic size of the element.

Therefore, Option(2) is correct
