D
Basic character Choose the correct answer from the options given below : only
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
: F has highest 
due to half-filled 
stability, B has lowest. Correct
: Cl has highest EA (F smaller, more repulsion), 
(half-filled p -orbital). Correct
(Metallic character): Incorrect. Mg (Group 2) is more metallic than Al (Group 13) in same period. Correct order: 
(Basic character): Follows electropositive nature.
