Which of the following statements is incorrect?
Transition elements exhibit higher enthalpies of atomization as they have stonger interatomic interaction.
.
compounds are more stable than
where as
compounds are more stable than
.
The elements which give the greatest number of oxidation states do not occur in or near the middle of
the series.
Periodicity of atomic radius and ionic radius in period -
In a period from left to right the effective nuclear charge increases because the next electron fills in the same shell. So the atomic size decrease.
- wherein
Variation of electron gain enthalpy with size of atom -
In general, the electron gain enthalpy value decreases (less negative) with increasing atomic radius.
- wherein
(A) In is in
oxidation state. The electronic configuration is ,
and thus it has five unpaired electrons.
(B) one unpaired electrons.
(C) , four unpaired electrons.
(D) , two unpaired electrons.
Hence has highest number of unpaired electrons and has highest degree of paramagnetism.
