The first element of a group differes from its congeners, i.e other members of the group in many ways. These difference may be due to the following i) Small size of atom and ion ii) High electronegetivity iii) Non-availability of low lying d-orbitals The first element of a group shows resemblance with the second element of the adjacent group on the right. This is known as diagonal relationship Metal (M)+ N_(2) rarr "Nitride" underset("hydroysis")overset(H_(2)O)rarr NH_(3) . Metal (M) can be

Identify the correct statements from the following (i) The atomic radius of Al is lower than the atomic radius of Ga. (ii) Boron exists in many allotropic forms. (iii) The melting point of Ga is lowest among the group 13 elements.

The amount of energy released when an electron is added to an isolated gaseous atom to produce a monovalent anion is called electron affinity or first electron affinity or electron gain enthalpy. The first electron is given a negative sign as the addition of an electron to a neutral atom is an exoergic process. The addition of electron to A^(-1) requires energy to overcome the force of repulsion. Thus, the second electron affinity is an endoergic process. The magnitude of electron affinity depends on a number of factors such as (i) atomic size (ii) effective nuclear charge (iii) screening effect (iv) half and fully filled orbitals and (v) shape of orbital. In general, electron affinity increases as the atomic radii decrease in a period. However, there are exceptions when the atoms have stable configurations. In a group, electron affinity decreases as the size increases. However, the members of 3rd period have somewhat higher values than the members in the 2nd period of the same subgroups. Which of the following processes is endoergic in nature ?

Hyperconjugation describes the orbital interactions between the p-systems and the adjacent s-bond of the substituent group(s) in organic compounds. Hyperconjugation is also called as Baker and Nathen effect. The necessary and sufficient condition for the hyperconjugation are : i) Compound should have at least on sp2 hybrid carbon of either alkene, carbocation or alkyl free radical. ii) A-carbon with respect to sp2 hybrid carbon should have at least one hydrogen. Hyperconjugation are of three types: (i) s(C-H), p-conjugation. (iii) s(C-H), positive charge conjugation iv) s(C-H), odd electron conjugation The hyperconjugation may be represented as Number of resonating structures due to hyperconjugation = (n + 1) where n is the number of a-hydrogen. Greater is the number of such forms, more is the stability of the species under considersation. Which of the following carbocations will show highest number of Hyperconjugation forms?
