In which of the following arrangements the order is NOT according to the property indicated against it?
- ALi < Na < K < Rb Increasing metallic radius
- BI < Br < F < Cl Increasing electron gain enthalpy (with negative sign)
- CB < C < N < O Increasing first ionization enthalpy
- D< < < Increasing ionic size

Correct answer: C
- We need to find the arrangement that is NOT in accordance with the stated periodic property.
- Option A: (Increasing metallic radius)
- Down Group 1, atomic/metallic radius increases due to addition of shells.
- Therefore, is correct.
So, Option A follows the property correctly.
- Option B: (Increasing electron gain enthalpy with negative sign)
- Electron gain enthalpy becomes more negative across a period.
- Among halogens, the order of electron gain enthalpy (more negative value) is: if we compare magnitude with negative sign.
- So in increasing order of negativity: which is correct.
So, Option B is correct.
- Option C: (Increasing first ionization enthalpy)
Let us check the actual trend in Period 2:
- Generally, ionization enthalpy increases across a period.
- But there is an exception: because nitrogen has extra stability due to half-filled configuration.
Thus actual order is: not
So, Option C is NOT correct.
- Option D: (Increasing ionic size)
These ions are isoelectronic; each has 10 electrons.
- In an isoelectronic series, ionic radius decreases with increasing nuclear charge.
- Nuclear charges are:
Higher nuclear charge means smaller ion. Therefore increasing ionic size is: which is correct.
So, Option D is correct.
- Therefore, the only arrangement that is not according to the indicated property is:
- Comparison with stored correct answer
Stored correct answer:
My derived answer is also , so I agree with the stored answer.
