Ce4+ is stable. This is because of
half-filled d-orbitals
all paired electrons ind-orbitals
empty orbital
fully filled d-orbital
Which of the following statement(s) is/are incorrect for pair of elements Zr-Hf?
Both possess same number of valence electrons
Both have identical sizes
Both have almost identical radii
Both of these belong to same period of periodic table
Which element among the following does not form diatomic molecules?
Argon
Oxygen
Nitrogen
Bromine
A.
Argon
Noble gas (He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe and Rn) does not form diatomic molecules. Due to presence of completely filled valence shell, these gases are highly stable.
