The correct order of the decreasing ionic radii among the following isoelectronic species is:

1. Ca²⁺ > K⁺ >S^2–> Cl^–

2. Cl^– > S^2– > Ca^2– > K⁺

3. S^2– > Cl^– > K⁺ > Ca²⁺

4. K⁺ > Ca²⁺ > Cl^– > S^2–

The correct order of second ionisation energies of B , C , N & O is:

4. Mg > Na > Al > Si

Which pair has largest size difference?

The order of electron gain enthalpy in the case of halogens is:

1. F > Cl > Br > I

2. I > Br > Cl > F

3. Cl > F > Br > I

4. I > Br > F > Cl

The formation of the oxide ion O^2- (g), from oxygen atom requires first an exothermic and then an endothermic step as shown below, 
 $\mathrm{O}\left(\mathrm{g}\right)+{\mathrm{e}}^{-}\to {\mathrm{O}}^{-}; {∆}_{\mathrm{f}}{\mathrm{H}}^0=-141 \mathrm{KJ} {\mathrm{mol}}^{-1}$
${\mathrm{O}}^{-}\left(\mathrm{g}\right)+{\mathrm{e}}^{-}\to {\mathrm{O}}^{2-}\left(\mathrm{g}\right); {∆}_{\mathrm{f}}{\mathrm{H}}^0=+780 \mathrm{KJ} {\mathrm{mol}}^{-1}$
Thus, process of formation of O^2- in gas phase is unfavorable even though O^2- is isoelectronic with neon. It is due to the fact that

1. Electron repulsion outweighs the stability gained by achieving  noble gas Configuration 

2. $O^{-}$ ion has comparatively smaller size than oxygen atom

3. Oxygen is more electronegative

4. Addition of electron in oxygen result in large size of the ion 

For the second period elements the correct increasing order of first ionisation enthalpy is:

1.  Li<Be<B<C<O<N<F<Ne

2.  Li<Be<B<C<N<O<F<Ne

3.  Li<B<Be<C<O<N<F<Ne

4.  Li<B<Be<C<N<O<F<Ne

Which of the following has the highest electron affinity?

1. F^–

2. O^–

3. O

4. Na

The electronegativity of the following elements increases in the order:

1. C, N, Si, P

2. N, Si, C, P
