Elements X, Y and Z have atomic numbers 19,37 and 55 respectivley. Which of the following statements is/are true about them ?

Answer»

Their ionization POTENTIAL would INCREASE with INCREASING atomic number
Y would have an ionization potential between those of X and Z
Z would have the highest ionization potential
Y would have the highest ionization potential.

Solution :Elements X, Y and Z with atomic numbers 19, 37, 55 lie in group 1 (alkali metals). WITHIN a group, IE decrease from top to bottom. Therefore, IE of Y could be between those of X and Z.
