The atomic number of elements A, B, C and D are Z1, Z, Z+1, Z+2 respectively. If B is a noble gas, choose the correct option
(i) (A) has higher electron affinity
(ii) C exists in + 2 oxidation state
(iii) D is an alkaline earth metal

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

Atomic number ofB=Z and is a noble gas

Atomic number ofA=Z-1(i.e., is a Halogen)

Atomic numberC,=Z+1(i.e., is a alkali metal)

At number ofD=Z+2(i.e., alkaline earth metal)

Hence, elementAmust be a Halogen, so has highest electron affinity among the given species.C.is an alkali metal andDis an alkaline earth metal
