`{:("Elements","Period number","Total valence"e^(-)),(P,2,4),(Q,2,6),(R,3,7),(S,3,3),(T,3,6),(U,3,4):}`
According to the given informations, answer the following questions :
Choose incorrect statement :

A

R exhibits maximum covalency among all elements given

B

Q does not exhibit variable covalency

C

R exhibits minimum covalency among all elements given

D

R and S combine each other and form `SR_(5)` type of compound

The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the provided statements about the elements and determine which one is incorrect based on their properties and covalency. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Elements and Their Properties:** - From the given data, we have: - P: Period 2, Valence Electrons 4 (Carbon, C) - Q: Period 2, Valence Electrons 6 (Oxygen, O) - R: Period 3, Valence Electrons 7 (Chlorine, Cl) - S: Period 3, Valence Electrons 3 (Aluminum, Al) - T: Period 3, Valence Electrons 6 (Sulfur, S) - U: Period 3, Valence Electrons 4 (Silicon, Si) 2. **Evaluate Each Statement:** - **Statement A:** "R exhibits minimum covalency among all elements given." - Chlorine (R) has 7 valence electrons and can form a covalent bond by accepting or sharing electrons. Its minimum covalency is 1 (when it forms Cl-). - **Statement B:** "Q does not exhibit variable covalency." - Oxygen (Q) typically has a covalency of 2 and does not exhibit variable covalency due to its high electronegativity. - **Statement C:** "R exhibits minimum covalency among all elements given." - This is the same as Statement A, which we already evaluated as correct. - **Statement D:** "R and S combine with each other to form SR5 type of compound." - Chlorine (R) and Aluminum (S) do not form AlCl5; instead, they form AlCl3. Aluminum does not expand its octet, so this statement is incorrect. 3. **Conclusion:** - The incorrect statement is **D**: "R and S combine with each other to form SR5 type of compound." ### Final Answer: The incorrect statement is **D**.

To solve the question, we need to analyze the provided statements about the elements and determine which one is incorrect based on their properties and covalency. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Elements and Their Properties:** - From the given data, we have: - P: Period 2, Valence Electrons 4 (Carbon, C) - Q: Period 2, Valence Electrons 6 (Oxygen, O) ...
