LIST-I LIST-II

A. Pnicogen (group 1515) I. Ts

B. Chalcogen (group 1616) II. Og

C. Halogen (group 1717) III. Lv

D. Noble gas (group 1818) IV. Mc

Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

  • A

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

  • B

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

  • C

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

  • D

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

Answer

Correct answer:B

Step-by-step solution

Standard Method

Given: Match the groups in LIST-I with the element symbols in LIST-II.

Find: The correct correspondence and hence the correct option.

Pnicogen belongs to group 1515, and Mc (Moscovium) is the synthetic element of group 1515. So, A-IV.

Chalcogen belongs to group 1616, and Lv (Livermorium) belongs to group 1616. So, B-III.

Halogen belongs to group 1717, and Ts (Tennessine) belongs to group 1717. So, C-I.

Noble gas belongs to group 1818, and Og (Oganesson) belongs to group 1818. So, D-II.

Thus, the correct matching is A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II.

Therefore, the correct option is B.

Group-wise Identification

Given:

  • Pnicogen = group 1515
  • Chalcogen = group 1616
  • Halogen = group 1717
  • Noble gas = group 1818

Find: Which symbols among Ts, Og, Lv, Mc belong to these groups.

From the periodic table:

  1. Mc = Moscovium, which is in group 1515.
  2. Lv = Livermorium, which is in group 1616.
  3. Ts = Tennessine, which is in group 1717.
  4. Og = Oganesson, which is in group 1818.

So the matching becomes:

  • A \to IV
  • B \to III
  • C \to I
  • D \to II

Hence, the final matching is A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II, which corresponds to option (2).

Therefore, the correct option is B.

Common mistakes

  • Confusing Ts with a noble gas is incorrect because Ts (Tennessine) belongs to group 1717, not group 1818. Always identify the element family from its periodic table group before matching.

  • Treating Og as a halogen is wrong because Og (Oganesson) is placed in group 1818. Use the group number, not unfamiliarity with the newest elements, to decide the family.

  • Mixing up Mc and Lv leads to an incorrect match because Mc is in group 1515 while Lv is in group 1616. Check each synthetic element symbol carefully before assigning it.
