Q4Multiple choice

Which of the following statement (s) about the Modern Periodic Table are incorrect

(a) (i) only

(b) (i), (ii) and (iii)

(c) (i), (ii) and (iv)

(d) (iv) only

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

The answer is (b) (i), (ii) and (iii)

Explanation:

Elements in the Modern Periodic Table are arranged based on their increasing atomic number hence option i) is wrong. In modern periodic table atomic mass is not a criteria hence option ii) is wrong. Isotopes are given the same position in periodic table hence option iii) is wrong.
