(b) non-metallic elements are lesser in number than metallic elements

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 3. (d)

Solution:

  1. (a) Correct statement According to Moseley’s law, the properties of elements are the periodic function of their atomic numbers.

(b) Correct statement The whole $s$-block, $d$-block, $f$-block and heavier $p$-block elements are metal.

(c) Correct statement Trend is not regular, Be has higher first ionisation energy than $\mathrm{B}$, nitrogen has higher first ionisation energy than oxygen.

(d) Inccorrect statement $d$-subshells are not filled monotonically, regularity break at chromium and copper.
