Which statement is incorrect?

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

(1) Mg shows properties of IIA and IIB: Correct. Mg is the bridge element for Group II, sharing some characteristics with both subgroups.

(2) Bridge elements lie in 3rd period: Correct. By definition in this classification system, these are the 3rd-period elements.

(3) All 3rd period elements are bridge elements: Incorrect. Elements like Argon (Ar) are inert and do not bridge subgroups; typically, only the representative elements of the 3rd period are considered bridge elements.

(4) Bridge elements connect A and B subgroups: Correct. This is their primary descriptive role in the short-form table.
