Question

properties of p block element

Answer 1

non-metals and react with oxygen to form non metals oxide acidic in nature

Answer 2

Hey !!

• p-block elements include metals, non-metals as well as metalloids.
• These elements have smaller atomic radii than s-block elements. The atomic radius decreases from left to right in a period due to increase in nuclear charge.
• Halogens, oxygen, sulphur and phosphorous are reactive elements of p-block elements.
• They usually form covalent bond.
• Few elements, viz oxygen, sulphur, phosphorous etc. exhibit allotropy.
• They have high value of ionisation energy.
• Their oxides are acidic in nature.
• They have high electronegativities. It is due to their small atomic size, p-block elements possess higher electron affinities than s-block elements.

Good luck !!
