Questions and Answers

Which criterion is used to classify elements into s, p, d, f blocks?

  • Number of neutrons
  • Atomic mass
  • Energy sublevels in which the valence electrons are found (correct)
  • Number of protons

What does the Periodic Law state?

  • Elements with lower atomic numbers have higher electronegativity
  • Elements with similar properties have consecutive atomic numbers
  • Elements with higher atomic numbers have lower reactivity
  • Elements with consecutive atomic numbers have similar properties (correct)

How does ionization enthalpy relate to metallic character?

  • Ionization enthalpy has no relation to metallic character
  • Higher ionization enthalpy corresponds to greater metallic character
  • Metallic character decreases with decreasing ionization enthalpy
  • Lower ionization enthalpy corresponds to greater metallic character (correct)
