Question

Which of the following is a wrong statement?

In general, the period of the periodic table, the $s$-block element has a higher value of:

• A. electronegativity
• B. atomic radius
• C. ionisation energy
• D. electron affinity

Answer 1

The correct option is B atomic radius

Electronegativity increases along the period. So, s-block element will have less electronegativity.

Ionisation energy increases along the period. So, s-block element will have less Ionisation energy.

Electron affinity increases along the period. So, s-block element will have less electron affinity.

Atomic radius decreases along the period. So, s-block element will have high atomic radius.
