Answer : Option DExplaination / Solution: Terbium (Z=65) has an electronic configuration of [Xe] 4f9 6s2. It is a member of 4f-inner transition series which is called lanthanoid series. Rest option are all the members of 5f-inner transition series, also known as the actinoid series i.e. Curium ([Rn] 5f7 6d1 7s2) ; Californium ([Rn] 5f10 7s2); and Uranium ([Rn] 5f3 6d1 7s2).
Q7.Values of e/m (charge/mass) in the categories alpha particle (α), electron (e) and protons (p) increase in the order:
Answer : Option BExplaination / Solution: α-particle (He2+) has very high mass compared to proton and electron, therefore very small em ratio. Proton and electron have same charge (magnitude) but former is heavier, hence has smaller value of em.
Answer : Option CExplaination / Solution:
Only Chromium (Cr) who belongs to group 6 forms hydride.
Elements of group 7, 8, 9 of d – block do not form hydrides at all. This inability of metal, of group 7, 8, 9 of periodic table to form hydrides is referred to as hydride gap of d – block.
