Question

Match the LIST-I with LIST-II.

LIST-I		LIST-II
A.	Pnicogen (group 15)	I.	Ts
B.	Chalcogen (group 16)	II.	Og
C.	Halogen (group 17)	III.	Lv
D.	Noble gas (group 18)	IV.	Mc

Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

• A. A-IV, B-I, C-II, D-III
• B. A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II
• C. A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II
• D. A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I

Hint:

Remember the names and symbols of the most recent elements added to the periodic table, especially those belonging to well-known groups like Pnicogens, Chalcogens, Halogens, and Noble Gases. This often helps in matching questions related to these groups.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

This matching problem requires associating each entry in LIST-I with its corresponding item in LIST-II. The breakdown is as follows:

1. Pnicogen (Group 15): This group comprises nitrogen, phosphorus, arsenic, antimony, bismuth, and the synthetic element Moscovium (Mc).
2. Chalcogen (Group 16): This group includes oxygen, sulfur, selenium, tellurium, polonium, and the synthetic element Livermorium (Lv).
3. Halogen (Group 17): This group consists of fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, astatine, and the synthetic element Tennessine (Ts).
4. Noble Gas (Group 18): This group contains helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, radon, and Oganesson (Og), which exhibits noble gas-like properties.

The matches with LIST-II are:

• A-IV: Pnicogen (group 15) corresponds to Mc (Moscovium).
• B-III: Chalcogen (group 16) corresponds to Lv (Livermorium).
• C-I: Halogen (group 17) corresponds to Ts (Tennessine).
• D-II: Noble gas (group 18) corresponds to Og (Oganesson).

The correct solution is: A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II
