JEE Main 2025 Apr 3 Shift 2, Chemistry Q4: Classification Of Elements

JEE Main2025Apr 3, Shift 2Chemistry
Q.

Match the LIST-I with LIST-II.

LIST-I (Family)LIST-II (Symbol of Element)
A. Pnicogen (group 15)I. Ts
B. ChalcogenII. Og
C. HalogenIII. Lv
D. Noble gasIV. Mc

Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

  1. A

    A-IV, B-I, C-II, D-III

  2. B

    A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II

  3. C

    A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II

  4. D

    A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I

Solution

The four superheavy elements belong to specific groups based on their atomic numbers:

Moscovium (Mc, Z = 115) sits in group 15, so it is a pnicogen.

Livermorium (Lv, Z = 116) sits in group 16, so it is a chalcogen.

Tennessine (Ts, Z = 117) sits in group 17, so it is a halogen.

Oganesson (Og, Z = 118) sits in group 18, so it is a noble gas.

The matching is A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II.
