Which of the following statements is INCORRECT ?A. Generally the radius trend and the ionization energy trend across a period are opposites.B. metallic and covalent radii of potassium are `2.3A` and `2.03A` respectively.C. Amongst `Li^(-),Be^(-)` and `C^(-),Li^(-)` is least stable ion.D. Atomic and ionic radii of Niobium and Tantalum are almost same |

Answer» Correct Answer - 3 `(1)` Across the period, size decreases as electrons are added in the same shell and nuclear charge increases by one unit for additon of each successive element. In contrary , the ionization energy increases as size of atom decreases and nuclear charge increases. `(2) r_("metallic")gtr_("covalent")(` covalent bond formation involves the overlapping of orbitals). `(3)._(3)Li^(-)-1s^(2)2s^(2)` completely filled stable configuration , so more stable. `._(4)Be^(-)-1s^(2)2s^(2)2p^(1)` `._(5)B^(-)-1s^(2)2s^(2)2p^(2)` `._(6)C^(-)-1s^(2)2p^(3)` half filled stalbe stable configuration , so more stable. `(4)` Due to lanthanide contraction. |
