Hint: 2log (3 + 2) = log (4.3 − 1) + 1

⇒ log (3 + 2) = log 3(4.3 − 1)
⇒3 + 2 = 3(4.3 − 1)

(D) 7

Ans. (C)

Sol.

Let t &t is the pth & qth terms of the series −16,8, −4,2, …

Here 𝑎 = −16, 𝑟 = −

Then, t = −16 −

Now, given = ,1 = t t

So, 1 = 256 − ⇒2 = (−1) 2

⇒2 = (−1)

It is equal when 2 = 1 = (−1)

Hence, p + q − 10 = 0 ⇒ p + q = 10

Given two G.Ps. 2, 2 , 2 , … and 4, 4 , 4 , … of 60 and 𝑛 terms respectively, Also given the geometric
mean of all the 60 ÷ n terms is
225
So, (2 2 … . 2 )(4 ⋅ 4 … … . 4 ) = (2) 8 ,

225
( )
⇒ 2 ×
4 = (2) 8 ,

⇒2 =2

On comparing both side we get,

because in Mg, a 3 s-electron has to be removed while in Al, it is the 3 p-electron. The IE1 of Si is,
however, higher than those of Mg and Al because of its increases nuclear charge. Thus, the overall
order is : Na < Mg > Al < Si.

Sol. Cl: 1𝑠 2𝑠 2𝑝 3𝑠 3𝑝
Unpaired 𝑒 is in 3𝑝

So 𝑛 = 3𝑙 = 1𝑚 = +1𝑠 = ±

Sol. 2s
Radial node = n – I – 1
=2–0–1
=1
It will have one radial node.

SECTION - II

71. Number of unpaired electron in Ground state electronic configuration of Cr.

Ans. 6
Sol. Cr [Ar] 3d 4s

72. Consider the argon atom. For how many electrons does this atom have ml = 1?
Ans. 4
Sol.

73. In how many pairs, all elements belong to same group in periodic table
(H, He) (Li, Be)
(Na, K) (F, Cl)
(S, Se) (Ga, Ge)
Ans. 3
Sol. Conceptual

74. The five successive ionization enthalpies of an element are 800, 2427, 3658, 25024 and 32824 kJ
mol–1 . The number of valence electrons in the element is :
Ans. 3
Sol. As difference in 3rd and 4th ionisation energies is high, so atom contains 3 valence electrons.

75. If the ionization enthalpy and electron gain enthalpy of an element are 310 and 86 kcal mol–1
respectively, then the electronegativity of the element on the Pauling scale is (Nearest integer)
Ans. 3
Sol. I.E. + E.A. = 310 + 86 = 396 kcal mol–1
= 396 × 4.184 = 1655.28 kJ/mol
1655.28
E.N. = 540 = 3.06
