MCQ
The electronic configuration of four elements are

$(I)\,[Xe]\, 6s^1$                              $(II)\,[Xe]\,4f^{14}\,5d^1\,6s^2$

$(III)\,[Ar]\,4s^2\,4p^5$                    $(IV)\,[Ar]\,3d^7,\,4s^2$

Select the incorrect statement about these elements

  • A
    $(I)$ is a strong reducing agent
  • $(II)$ is a $d-$ block element
  • C
    $(III)$ has high electron affinity
  • D
