Assertion (A): K, Rb and Cs form superoxides.
Reason (R): The stability of the superoxides increases from 'K' to 'Cs' due to decrease in lattice energy.
The correct answer is
Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)
(A) is true but (R) is not true
(A) is not true but (R) is true
Which one of the following order is correct for the first ionisation energies of the elements?

The pair, that is referred as 'chemical twins' is
Ac, Cf
Hf, Ta
Tc, Re
La, Ac
C.
Tc, Re
Due to the presence of f-electrons, the nucleus is not screened effectively. Thus, the atomic radius of elements of second transition series (i.e., Nb, Mo, Tc etc) is similar to that of corresponding third transition series elements (i.e., Ta, W, Re). Hence, Nb-Ta; Mo-W or Tc-Re are called chemical twins.
