NEET Chemistry (general) MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-conceptual-Easy-Class 12
Which of the following statements about the reactivity and properties of noble gases and halogens is correct?
A
Noble gases are least reactive due to their complete valence shell and high ionisation enthalpy.
B
Fluorine is less reactive than chlorine because it has a stronger F-F bond.
C
Chlorine can oxidise water to oxygen while noble gases cannot form any compounds.
D
Halogens exhibit only negative oxidation states in all reactions they participate in.
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
Noble gases are least reactive because they have completely filled valence shells and high ionisation enthalpy, making them stable. The other statements contain inaccuracies about the reactivity of halogens and noble gases.
