C) Fluorine and iodine are gases , chlorine and bromine are gases .

D) Fluorine is a gas, chlorine and bromine are liquids, and iodine is a solid.

E) Fluorine, chlorine, and bromine are gases , and iodine is a solid.

Explanation / Answer

16) E.10

S : 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^4

So, core electrons = 10

17) A.3

N : 1s^2 2s^2 2p^3

18) A.2

Si : 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^2

21 ) D.W


K(potassium) is alkaline metal

S(sulfur) belongs to chalcogens

Fm is a f-block element

W(tungsten) belongs to transition elements

23) A . Br;O

From left to right in a period atomic radius decreases

From top to bottom in a group atomic radius increases

26) D.hydrogen

With increase in atomic size ionization energy decreases.

27) B) Fluorine and chlorine are gases, bromine is a liquid, and iodine is a solid.
