$(i)$ $1s^22s^2p^63s^1$ $(ii)$ $1s^22s^22p^64s^1$
Which of the following statements is/are false ?
$(a)$ Energy is required to change $(i)$ to $(ii)$
$(b)$ $(i)$ represents $‘Na’$ atom
$(c)$ $(i)$ and $(ii)$ represent different elements
$(d)$ More energy is required to remove one electron from $(i)$ than $(ii)$

$(A)$Covalent radius decreases down the group from $\mathrm{C}$ to $\mathrm{Pb}$ in a regular manner.
$(B)$ Electronegativity decreases from $\mathrm{C}$ to $\mathrm{Pb}$ down the group gradually.
$(C)$ Maximum covalence of $\mathrm{C}$ is $4$ whereas other elements can expand their covalence due to presence of $d$ orbitals.
$(D)$ Heavier elements do not form $\mathrm{p} \pi-p \pi$ bonds.
$(E)$ Carbon can exhibit negative oxidation states.
