MCQ
Atom with $ ......... $ atomic radii and $ ........ $ ionisation potential tends to gain electrons :
  • A
    Large, high
  • B
    Large, low
  • C
    Small, low
  • Small, high

Answer

Correct option: D.
Small, high
Ionization energies increase moving from left to right across a period $($decreasing atomic radius$).$
So, atom with small atomic radii and high ionisation potential tends to gain electrons.
