MCQ 11 Mark
According to Mendele′ ev's Periodic Law, the elements were arranged in the periodic table in the order of:
  • A
    Increasing atomic number.
  • B
    Decreasing atomic number.
  • ✓
    Increasing atomic masses.
  • D
    Decreasing atomic masses.
Answer
Correct option: C.
Increasing atomic masses.
The Mendeleev's periodic law is an arrangement of elements in increasing order of their atomic masses as Mendeleev's periodic law states that, the physical and chemical properties of elements are a periodic function of their atomic masses.

MCQ 81 Mark
Which among the following elements has the largest atomic radii?
  • A
    Na.
  • B
    Mg.
  • ✓
    K.
  • D
    Ca.
Answer
Correct option: C.
K.
Na and K belong to the same group. i.e. Group I. Ca and Mg belong to the Group II. The atomic radius decreases in moving from left to right along a period. This is due to an increase in nuclear charge which tends to pull the electrons closer to the nucleus and reduces the size of the atom. Hence K has largest atomic radii.
