Which of the following statements are correct?

(i) Arsenic and antimony are metalloids.

(ii) Phosphorus, arsenic and antimony are found mainly as sulphide minerals.

(iii) Covalent redii increases equally from

{N}

to Bi.

(iv) Elements of group 15 have extra stability and higher ionisation energy due to exactly half filled

n s^2 n p^3

electronic configuration.

(v) In group 15 elements only nitrogen is gas whereas all others are solids.

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

(i), (iv) and (v)

Option A ((i), (iv) and (v)) is correct because arsenic and antimony are metalloids, group 15 elements have extra stability due to half-filled

ns^2np^3

configuration, and only nitrogen is a gas in group 15.
