Periodic Classification of Elements
medium
The position of three elements $A$, $B$ and $C$ in the Periodic Table are shown below
Group $16$ | Group $17$ |
- | - |
- | $A$ |
- | - |
$B$ | $C$ |
$(a)$ Will $C$ be larger or smaller in size than $B$ ?
$(b) $ Which type of ion, cation or anion, will be formed by element $A$ ?
Option A
Option B
Option C
Option D
Solution
$(a)$ $C$ will be smaller in size than $B$ as moving across a period, the nuclear charge increases and therefore, electrons come closer to the nucleus.
$(b)$ $A$ will form an anion as it accepts an electron to complete its octet.
