Parts (a) to (e) refer to changes in the properties of elements on moving from left to right across a period of Periodic Table. For each property, choose the correct answer.
(a) The non-metallic character of the elements :
(i) decreases, (ii) increases,
(iii) remains the same, (iv) depends on the period
(b) The electronegativity :
(i) depends on the number of valence electrons,
(ii) remains the same,
(iii) decreases,
(iv) increases.
(c) The ionization potential :
(i) goes up and down (ii) decreases
(iii) increases (iv) remains the same
(d) The atomic size :
(i) decreases,
(ii) increases,
(iii) remains the same ,
(iv) sometimes increases and sometimes decreases.
(e) The electron affinity of the elements in groups 1 to 7 :
(i) goes up and then down.
(ii) decreases and then increases,
(iii) increases,
(iv) decreases.
