MCQ
Chemically Zinc group elements closely resemble $........$
  • A
    $\text{I A}$ group
  • $\text{II A}$ group
  • C
    $\text{III A}$ group
  • D
    $\text{IV A}$ group

Answer

Correct option: B.
$\text{II A}$ group
Zinc belongs to $\text{IIB}$ and it closely resembles $\text{IIA}$ because of the completely filled valence orbitals. The reason is in $\text{IIA}$ group all the elements have completely filled $s-$orbital while in $\text{IIB}$ group the elements have completely filled $s$ orbital along with $d-$orbital.
