The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the given elements based on their period numbers and valence electrons and then evaluate the provided statements. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Elements**: - From the data provided: - P: Period 2, 4 valence electrons → Carbon (C) - Q: Period 2, 6 valence electrons → Oxygen (O) - R: Period 3, 7 valence electrons → Chlorine (Cl) - S: Period 3, 3 valence electrons → Aluminum (Al) - T: Period 3, 6 valence electrons → Sulfur (S) - U: Period 3, 4 valence electrons → Silicon (Si) 2. **Evaluate Each Statement**: - **Statement 1**: Q has the maximum value of electron affinity. - **Analysis**: Oxygen (Q) does have a high electron affinity, but Chlorine (R) has an even higher electron affinity. Thus, this statement is **false**. - **Statement 2**: R has the maximum value of electronegativity. - **Analysis**: Chlorine (R) is indeed electronegative, but Fluorine (not listed) is more electronegative than Chlorine. Therefore, this statement is **false**. - **Statement 3**: S has the maximum size. - **Analysis**: Among the elements listed, Aluminum (S) is larger than Oxygen (Q), Chlorine (R), and Sulfur (T), as size increases down a group and decreases across a period. Thus, this statement is **true**. - **Statement 4**: T and U are same group elements. - **Analysis**: Sulfur (T) belongs to Group 16, while Silicon (U) belongs to Group 14. Hence, this statement is **false**. 3. **Conclusion**: - The only correct statement is **Statement 3**: S has the maximum size. ### Final Answer: The correct statement is **S has the maximum size**. ---

To solve the question, we need to analyze the given elements based on their period numbers and valence electrons and then evaluate the provided statements. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Elements**: - From the data provided: - P: Period 2, 4 valence electrons → Carbon (C) - Q: Period 2, 6 valence electrons → Oxygen (O) ...
