Question

Consider the general valence electron configuration of ns^2np^5 and the following statements: Elements with this electron configuration are expected to form -1 anions. Elements with this electron configuration are expected to have large positive electron affinities. Elements with this electron configuration are nonmetals. Elements with this electron configuration form acidic oxides. Which statements are true? (i), (ii), and (iii) (i) and (ii) (i), (iii, ) and (iv) (ii) and (iii) All statements are true.

Explanation / Answer

The given configuration is related to halogen family configuration, if they are non metals and present extremely right side of periodic table. these elements have less of one electron for octet configuration.so they form -1 anions. and more electron affinity.and non metals.

so option E is correct .ie ALL STATEMENTS ARE TRUE.
