Phosphorus has vacant $$'d'$$ - orbitals due to which it has higher electron affinity than nitrogen. As also has vacant $$d$$ - orbitals but its atomic size is very big thus its electron affinity will be lesser than $$N.$$

Which of the following sequence correctly represents the decreasing acidic nature of
oxides ?
A
$$L{i_2}O > BeO > {B_2}{O_3} > C{O_2} > {N_2}{O_3}$$
B
$${N_2}{O_3} > C{O_2} > {B_2}{O_3} > BeO > L{i_2}O$$
C
$$C{O_2} > {N_2}{O_3} > {B_2}{O_3} > BeO > L{i_2}O$$
D
$${B_2}{O_3} > C{O_2} > {N_2}{O_3} > L{i_2}O > BeO$$
$${O^{ - - }}\,{\text{and}}\,{F^ - }$$ are isoelectronic. Hence have same number of shells, therefore greater the nuclear charge smaller will be the size i.e. $$\,{O^{ - - }}\, > \,{F^ - }$$
further $$L{i^ + }\,{\text{and}}\,{B^{3 + }}$$ are isoelectronic. therefore $$L{i^ + }\, > {B^{3 + }}$$
Hence the correct order of atomic size is $${O^{ - - }}\, > \,{F^ - }\, > \,L{i^ + }\, > {B^{3 + }}$$

One of the characteristic properties of non-metals is that they
$$N,O,F$$ are more electronegative element, so they accept electrons more easily and form negative ions ( anions ).

Predict the formulae of the binary compounds formed by combination of the following pairs of elements :
(i) Magnesium and nitrogen
(ii) Silicon and oxygen
The valency of $$Mg$$ is + 2, and $$N$$ is - 3.
The formula becomes $$ \to M{g_3}{N_2}.$$
The valency of $$Si$$ is + 4, and $$O$$ is - 2
The formula becomes $$ \to Si{O_2}.$$

A
magnetic quantum number of any element of the period
B
atomic number of any element of the period
C
maximum principal quantum number of any element of the period
D
maximum azimuthal quantum number of any element of the period
Answer :
maximum principal quantum number of any element of the period
$${C^ + }\left( g \right) \to {C^{2 +}}\left( g \right) + {e^ - },{C_1}$$
$${C^{2 + }}\left( g \right) \to {C^{3 + }}\left( g \right) + {e^ - },{C_3}$$
If monovalent positive ion of $$A,$$ divalent positive $$ion$$ of $$B$$ and trivalent positive ion of $$C$$ have zero electron. Then incorrect order of corresponding $$I.E.$$ is :
