MCQ
Anomalous behaviour of oxygen, compared to other $\text{VI A}$ group elements is due to:
  • A
    Its high electronegativity.
  • B
    Its small atomic size.
  • C
    Non availability of $d-$orbitals.
  • All.

Answer

Correct option: D.
All.
Oxygen is the first element of $\text{VI A}$ group and shows Anaomalous behaviour than other group elements because
  1. High Electronegativity
  2. small atomic size
  3. Non$-$avalability of $d-$orbits results in different compounds than their other group elements.
