Assertion : Acidity of hydrides of group 16 elements increases down the group.
Reason : Electronegativity of these elements increases down the group.

How does electronegativity of group - 16 elements changes down the g roup?

(a) Electropositive nature of the element(s) increases down the group and decreases across the period (b) Electronegativity of the element decreases down the group and increases across the period (c) Atomic size increase down the group and decreases across a period (left to right) (d) Metallic character increases down the group and decreases across a period On the basis of the above trends of the periodic table, answer the following about the electron with atomic number 3 to 9 (a) Name the most electropositive element among them (b) Name the most electronegative element (c) Name of the element with smallest atomic size (d) Name the element which is a metalloid (e) Name the element which shows maximum valency.

The boiling point of hydrides of group 16 elements are in the order.

(a) Electropositive nature of the element(s) increases down the group and decreases across the period. (b) Electronegativity of the element decreases down the group and increases across the period. (c) Atomic size increases down the group and decreases across a period (left to right). (d) Metallic character increases down the group and decreases across a period. On the basis of the above trends of the Periodic Table, answer the following about the elements with atomic numbers 3 to 9. Name the most electronegative element.
