Periodic Table and Periodicity question

2021 · 16 Mar · Shift 2 · Q5

JEE MainChemistryPeriodic Table and PeriodicityMCQ+4 / −1
The characteristics of elements X, Y and Z with atomic numbers, respectively, 33, 53 and 83 are :
  1. A
    X and Y are metalloids and Z is a metal.
  2. B
    X and Z are non-metals and Y is a metalloid.
  3. C
    X is a metalloid, Y is a non-metal and Z is a metal.
  4. D
    X, Y and Z are metals.

Correct answer: C

  1. Identify the elements from their atomic numbers

    • XXX has atomic number 333333 ⇒\Rightarrow⇒ element is As (Arsenic)
    • YYY has atomic number 535353 ⇒\Rightarrow⇒ element is I (Iodine)
    • ZZZ has atomic number 838383 ⇒\Rightarrow⇒ element is Bi (Bismuth)
  2. Classify each element

    • Arsenic (As): It is a metalloid.
    • Iodine (I): It is a non-metal (halogen).
    • Bismuth (Bi): It is a metal.
  3. Match with the options

    • A: XXX and YYY are metalloids and ZZZ is a metal.
      This is incorrect because iodine is not a metalloid; it is a non-metal.

    • B: XXX and ZZZ are non-metals and YYY is a metalloid.
      This is incorrect because arsenic is a metalloid, bismuth is a metal, and iodine is a non-metal.

    • C: XXX is a metalloid, YYY is a non-metal and ZZZ is a metal.
      This matches exactly.

    • D: XXX, YYY and ZZZ are metals.
      Incorrect.

  4. Final answer

    Therefore, the correct option is: C\boxed{\text{C}}C​

  5. Comparison with stored correct answer

    Stored correct answer = C.
    My derived answer = C.
    Hence, they agree.
