Class 10-Periodic Properties-Chap 1 Mock Test
SECTION 1
1. Arrange the following according to instructions: 5
(a) The element which has maximum electronegativity in the periodic table is-
(i) Oxygen
(ii) Fluorine
(iii) Chlorine
(iv) Nitrogen
(b) An element M having 5 valence electrons and three shells most likely to show-
(i) Metallic character
(ii) Highest electron affinity in the period
(iii) Non-metallic character
(iv) Lowest ionization energy in the period
(c) Two elements A and B in a certain period placed side by side. Element A has higher
ionization energy than element B, but element B is smaller in size compared to A.
Which pair would satisfy the criteria?
(i) C and N
(ii) F and Cl
(iii) Be and B
(iv) Na and Mg
(d) Noble gases have zero electron affinity. The specific reason might be-
(i) They have no place to accept electron.
(ii) They have stable electronic configuration.
(iii) They do not form bonds.
(iv) All of the above.
(e) In the periodic table, when going down the group in period 2-
(i) Reactivity and ionization energy increases
(ii) Reactivity increases and ionization energy decreases
(iii) Reactivity and ionization energy both decreases
(iv) Reactivity remains same but ionization energy decreases
(a) The name of the group whose elements have two valence electrons.
(b) The element having highest electron affinity in period 3
(c) The number of elements present in period 6
(d) The energy released during the addition of electron in the valence shell of an
isolated gaseous atom.
(e) The element having twice the number of electrons in L shell compared to K shell.
SECTION 2
5. (a) An element ‘X’ having atomic no. 16 combines with and element ‘Y’ having atomic
no. 19.
(i) What will be the formula of the compound formed?
(ii) Which is more electronegative between X and Y?
(iii) Compare ionization potential of ‘X’ and ‘Y’.
(b) If atomic size increases across a period, how metallic property would vary across a
period?
(c) Sodium is a good reducing agent and fluorine is a good oxidizing agent. However,
both have valency one. How can you account for the fact?
(d) An element ‘M’ has 3 valence shells and 4 valence electrons.
(i) Identify the element.
(ii) Name two elements in the same period which have higher ionization potential than
‘M’
(iii) Name one element in the same group which is smaller than ‘M’
(iv) Name one element in the same period which has less valency than ‘M’
3 + 1 + 2 + 4 = 10
