Which of the following has the largest atomic radius? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Which of the following has the largest atomic radius?
A. F
B. Br
C. Cl
D. I
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Atomic radius increases down a group as the number of shells increases. Iodine (I) is in Period 5, below F (2), Cl (3), Br (4). Thus iodine has the largest atomic radius among these halogens.

Question #1
The rate of effusion of two gases A and B are in the ratio 1:2. If molar mass of A is 64 g/mol, molar mass of B is:
A. 32 g/mol
B. 16 g/mol
C. 128 g/mol
D. 256 g/mol

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Graham's law: r₁/r₂ = √(M₂/M₁). Given rA/rB = 1/2, so √(MB/MA) = 1/2. Squaring: MB/MA = 1/4 => MB = MA/4 = 64/4 = 16 g/mol. B is lighter and diffuses faster. Logical check: rate inversely proportional to square root of molar mass; if rate is double, mass is quarter. Answer is 16.

Question #2
The unit of electrochemical equivalent (Z) is:
A. C/g
B. g/mol
C. g/C (gram per coulomb)
D. C/mol

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
From Faraday's first law, m = ZQ, so Z = m/Q. SI unit is kg/C, but practical unit is g/C. It is the mass of substance liberated per unit charge.

Question #3
If the volume of a gas is doubled at constant temperature, its pressure will:
A. Halve
B. Double
C. Become four times
D. Remain the same

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
According to Boyle's Law (P₁V₁ = P₂V₂), pressure and volume are inversely proportional at constant temperature. If the volume is doubled (V₂ = 2V₁), the pressure must be halved (P₂ = P₁/2) to keep the product constant. This demonstrates the inverse relationship between P and V.
