Explanation / Answer

10. OPTION 4. Among the other elements given, Na and K can attain a noble gas configuration if they expel one of their valence electrons making them possess low first ionization enthalpies. However, K has a shell more than Na and so, its effectively nuclear charge on a valence electron is much less than that of Na giving it the lowest first ionization enthalpy.

11. OPTION 4. The given electronic configuration points to an element with atomic number 51 which corresponds to antimony. Antimony is placed in row 5 and group 5A or 15.

12. OPTION 4. Phosphorous is in the same group as N. So like N it has a valence electron configuration of 3s2 3p3. Thus it has 5 valence electrons.

13. OPTION 4. Arsenic resides in the same group as N and P. So its valence electronic configuration will be ns2, np3. This makes the atom require 3 more electrons to fill its p-shell and thus attain an octet.

14. OPTION 1. Among the given electronic configurations, only 2 and 4 have an almost filled p-orbital with a single electron required. This would give both elements the tendency to abstract electrons from other atoms to attain a stable p6 configuration. In case of others, two electrons are required for p4 and 5 for d5 thus making their reactivities dissimilar.

15. OPTION 3. Bromine is a halogen with a characteristic p5 outer-electron configuration. Taking into account the fact that Br occurs after the first row transition metals, we can say that a 3d10, 4s2, 4p5 configuration exists for bromine.
