Question:medium

The correct statement(s) regarding the periodic properties of elements is(are)

Show Hint

Remember key exceptions and trends:
- IE across period: General increase, but exceptions due to orbital stability (e.g., B \textless Be, O \textless N). For 2nd IE, the electronic configuration of $X^+$ is critical.
- Ionic radii (isoelectronic): Decrease with increasing nuclear charge.
- Density (Group 1): K is less dense than Na.
- Bond energies: Small halogens (F$_2$) have weaker bonds due to lone pair repulsion. H-H is surprisingly strong.

  • Second ionization enthalpy of carbon atom is less than that of boron atom.
  • Increasing order of ionic radii: Al$^{3+}$ \textless Mg$^{2+}$ \textless Na$^+$
  • Under identical conditions, in solid state, the density of potassium metal is more than density of sodium metal.
  • The H–H bond is weaker than F–F bond.
