Correct answer: A

  1. Check statement A: “The properties of elements are function of atomic weights.”

    This is not true for the modern periodic table.

    • Modern periodic law states: Properties of elements are periodic functions of their atomic numbers.\text{Properties of elements are periodic functions of their atomic numbers.}Properties of elements are periodic functions of their atomic numbers.
    • This replaced Mendeleev’s old atomic-mass-based arrangement.

    So, A is NOT true.

  2. Check statement B: “The properties of elements are function of atomic numbers.”

    This is exactly the modern periodic law.

    So, B is true.

  3. Check statement C: “Elements having similar outer electronic configurations are arranged in same period.”

    This is not true.

    • Elements with similar outer electronic configuration are placed in the same group, not the same period.
    • Example: Li, Na, K all have outer configuration ns1ns^1ns1 and are in the same group.

    So, C is NOT true.

  4. Check statement D: “An element's location reflects the quantum numbers of the last filled orbital.”

    This is true.

    • The position of an element in the periodic table is related to the subshell into which the last electron enters.
    • This determines the block (s,p,d,fs, p, d, fs,p,d,f), period, and group trends.

    So, D is true.

  5. Check statement E: “The number of elements in a period is same as the number of atomic orbitals available in energy level that is being filled.”

    This is not true as stated.

    • The number of elements in a period equals the number of electrons that can be accommodated in the subshells being filled in that period, not merely the number of orbitals.
    • For example:
      • 2nd period has 8 elements because 2s2s2s and 2p2p2p are filled.
      • Number of orbitals involved = 1+3=41 + 3 = 41+3=4 orbitals.
      • But number of elements = 888, not 444.

    So, E is NOT true.

  6. List all statements that are NOT true:

    A, C, EA,\ C,\ EA, C, E

  7. Match with the options:

    • Option A: A,CA, CA,C and EEE only ✅
    • Option B: AAA and EEE only ❌
    • Option C: B,CB, CB,C and EEE only ❌
    • Option D: DDD and EEE only ❌

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