Here are 30 JEE-level MCQs on Periodicity (Periodic Table & Periodic Properties):

30 JEE-Level MCQs: Periodicity

1. The correct order of ionic radii is:
A) Na⁺ > Mg²⁺ > Al³⁺ > O²⁻ B) O²⁻ > Na⁺ > Mg²⁺ > Al³⁺ C) Al³⁺ > Mg²⁺ > Na⁺ > O²⁻ D) Mg²⁺ > Al³⁺ > Na⁺ > O²⁻
Answer: B All are isoelectronic (10 electrons). Higher nuclear charge = smaller radius. O²⁻(Z=8) > Na⁺(Z=11) > Mg²⁺(Z=12) > Al³⁺(Z=13).
2. Which of the following has the highest first ionization enthalpy?
A) B B) C C) N D) O
Answer: C N has a half-filled 2p³ configuration (extra stability), so its IE₁ > O.
3. The element with the highest electronegativity is:
A) O B) Cl C) F D) N
Answer: C F is the most electronegative element (Pauling scale: 4.0).
4. Across a period, which property shows a general increase from left to right?
A) Atomic radius B) Metallic character C) Ionization enthalpy D) Electron gain enthalpy becomes more negative
Answer: C & D (Single answer: C — IE generally increases across a period)
5. The first ionization energy of which of the following is anomalously HIGH compared to its neighbours?
A) Be B) Mg C) Be and N (and P) D) Li
Answer: C Be (fully filled 2s²) and N (half-filled 2p³) have anomalously high IE₁ compared to B and O respectively.
6. Electron affinity is NOT defined for:
A) Noble gases B) Alkaline earth metals (in some contexts) C) Both A and B D) Halogens
Answer: C Noble gases have complete octets (EA ≈ 0 or positive). Alkaline earth metals have fully filled s-orbitals, making EA nearly zero or positive.
7. Which of the following sequences correctly represents increasing order of atomic radii?
A) Cs < Rb < K < Na < Li B) Li < Na < K < Rb < Cs C) Na < K < Li < Rb < Cs D) Li < K < Na < Rb < Cs
Answer: B Atomic radius increases down a group as more shells are added.
8. The second ionization energy is greatest for:
A) Na B) Mg C) Al D) Li
Answer: A Na after losing 1 electron achieves Ne configuration (2,8). Removing the 2nd electron from a noble gas-like core requires enormous energy.
9. Which of the following statements is INCORRECT?
A) Electron affinity of Cl > F due to smaller size of F causing more electron repulsion B) Atomic radius decreases across a period due to increasing nuclear charge C) Ionization energy of N > O D) Electronegativity increases down a group
Answer: D Electronegativity DECREASES down a group (atomic size increases, nucleus is farther from bonding electrons).
10. The element having the most negative electron gain enthalpy (highest electron affinity) is:
A) F B) O C) Cl D) S
Answer: C Cl has the most negative electron gain enthalpy (−349 kJ/mol), not F, because F's small size causes electron-electron repulsion in the compact 2p orbital.
11. Which set of elements shows the "diagonal relationship"?
A) Li–Na, Be–Mg B) Li–Mg, Be–Al, B–Si C) Na–K, Mg–Ca D) B–Al, C–Si, N–P
Answer: B Diagonal relationship: Li-Mg, Be-Al, B-Si due to similar charge density and electronegativity.
12. In the modern periodic table, which block contains the lanthanides and actinides?
A) s-block B) p-block C) d-block D) f-block
Answer: D Lanthanides and actinides involve filling of 4f and 5f orbitals → f-block.
13. Which of the following has the smallest atomic radius?
A) Na B) Mg C) Al D) Si
Answer: D Across Period 3, atomic radius decreases: Na > Mg > Al > Si (increasing nuclear charge with same shell).
14. The correct order of electronegativity is:
A) F > Cl > Br > I B) F > O > N > Cl C) Cl > F > O > N D) I > Br > Cl > F
Answer: A Electronegativity decreases down Group 17: F(4.0) > Cl(3.2) > Br(3.0) > I(2.7).
15. Among the following, which has the highest lattice enthalpy?
A) NaCl B) MgO C) NaF D) CaO
Answer: B Lattice enthalpy ∝ (charge product)/(ionic radii sum). MgO has Mg²⁺ and O²⁻ (charge = 2×2=4), giving the highest lattice enthalpy.
16. The effective nuclear charge (Zeff) experienced by the 3s electron in Na is approximately:
A) 11 B) 2.2 C) 7.85 D) 5.7
Answer: B (Using Slater's rules: Zeff = 11 − 8.8 = 2.2) Inner electrons: 2 core(1s²)×0.85 + 8(2s²2p⁶)×0.85 = 8×0.85 = 6.8 + 2×1.00 = 2.0; more precisely Zeff ≈ 2.2 by Slater.
17. Which of the following is a p-block element?
A) Cr B) Xe C) Cs D) Eu
Answer: B Xe (Group 18) fills the 5p orbital → p-block. Cr and Eu are d and f-block respectively. Cs is s-block.
18. Moseley's law relates X-ray frequency to:
A) Atomic mass B) Atomic number C) Mass number D) Number of neutrons
Answer: B Moseley's law: √ν = a(Z − b), where Z = atomic number. This was the basis for redefining the periodic table by atomic number.
19. An element X has configuration [Ar] 3d¹⁰ 4s². It belongs to:
A) s-block, Group 2 B) d-block, Group 12 C) p-block, Group 2 D) d-block, Group 2
Answer: B [Ar] 3d¹⁰ 4s² = Zn. Though the 4s is outermost, d-orbitals are incompletely filled in the series, and Zn is placed in Group 12 (d-block).
20. The ionization energy trend across Period 3 shows a dip between:
A) Na and Mg B) Mg and Al C) Al and Si D) P and S
Answer: B and D Two anomalies: Mg→Al (Al has 3p¹, easier to remove than 3s²) and P→S (S has paired 3p electrons, one is easier to remove).
21. Which of the following oxides is amphoteric?
A) Na₂O B) Al₂O₃ C) P₂O₅ D) SO₃
Answer: B Al₂O₃ reacts with both acids (basic behavior) and bases (acidic behavior) → amphoteric.
22. Down Group 1, the hydration enthalpy:
A) Increases B) Decreases C) Remains constant D) First increases then decreases
Answer: B Hydration enthalpy decreases down Group 1 as ionic radius increases (Li⁺ has highest hydration enthalpy).
23. The correct statement about the trend in electron gain enthalpy across Period 2 is:
A) It becomes continuously more negative from Li to F B) O has more negative EGE than F C) N has a positive EGE (endothermic) D) Both B and C
Answer: D N has a half-filled 2p³ (extra stable → positive/near-zero EGE). O has more repulsion in 2p due to paired electrons, so EGE(O) > EGE(F) in absolute negativity is debated — but N's positive EGE is the classic anomaly.
24. Period 4 transition metals (Sc to Zn) involve filling of which orbital?
A) 3p B) 3d C) 4f D) 4p
Answer: B 3d orbitals are filled from Sc (Z=21) to Zn (Z=30).
25. The metallic character of elements in Period 3 follows the order:
A) Na > Mg > Al > Si > P > S > Cl B) Cl > S > P > Si > Al > Mg > Na C) Al > Na > Mg > Si D) Na = Mg > Al
Answer: A Metallic character decreases left to right across a period as ionization energy increases and electronegativity increases.
26. Which of the following pairs are isoelectronic?
A) CO and N₂ B) NO and CO₂ C) SO₂ and CO₂ D) N₂O and NO₂
Answer: A CO (10 electrons) and N₂ (10 electrons) are isoelectronic. They are also isostructural (triple bond).
27. The atomic radius of Fe (Z=26) compared to Mn (Z=25) is:
A) Larger B) Smaller C) Equal D) Cannot be determined
Answer: B Across transition metals, radius generally slightly decreases with increasing Z (more nuclear charge, d electrons shield poorly). Fe < Mn in atomic radius.
28. Which property remains nearly constant across the 5th period transition elements (Lanthanide contraction effect)?
A) Ionization energy B) Atomic radius C) Density D) Melting point
Answer: B Due to lanthanide contraction, the 5th and 6th period transition elements (e.g. Zr/Hf, Nb/Ta) have nearly identical atomic radii.
29. Shielding by d and f electrons is:
A) Greater than s electrons B) Less effective than s and p electrons C) Equal to p electrons D) More effective than s electrons
Answer: B Shielding effectiveness: s > p > d > f. d and f electrons are poor shielders, leading to higher Zeff on outer electrons.
30. The element with electronic configuration 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p³ has:
A) 3 unpaired electrons and belongs to Group 15 B) 2 unpaired electrons and belongs to Group 15 C) 3 unpaired electrons and belongs to Group 16 D) 5 unpaired electrons and belongs to Group 15
Answer: A This is Phosphorus (Z=15). Configuration 3p³ → three half-filled p orbitals = 3 unpaired electrons. Group 15 (VA).
