Given below are two statements:
Statement - I: Along the period, the chemical reactivity of the elements gradually increases from group 1 to group 18 .
Statement - II: The nature of oxides formed by group 1 elements is basic while that of group 17 elements is acidic.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate from the options given below:
Solution
<p>Chemical reactivity of elements decreases along the period therefore statement - I is false.</p>
<p>Group - 1 elements from basic nature oxides while group - 17 elements form acidic oxides therefore statement - II is true.</p>
