Which of the following statements are true?A. Unlike Ga that has a very high melting point, Cs has a very low melting point.B. On Pauling scale, the electronegativity values of N and Cl are not the same.C. , and are all isoelectronic species.D. The correct order of the first ionization enthalpies of Na, Mg, Al, and Si is Si > Al > Mg > Na.E. The atomic radius of Cs is greater than that of Li and Rb.Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  1. A
    A, B, and E only
  2. B
    C and E only
  3. C
    C and D only
  4. D
    A, C, and E only

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

1. Statement A is false because Ga has a very low melting point (approx ), though it has a high boiling point.2. Statement B: On Pauling scale, N and Cl both have values of approximately , so saying they are "not the same" is technically incorrect in most standard textbooks.3. Statement C: All species have electrons. This is true.4. Statement D: Correct order is Si () > Mg () > Al () > Na (). Thus Si > Mg > Al > Na. The statement given is false.5. Statement E: Atomic radius increases down the group. Cs is below Li and Rb. This is true.6. Based on standard options, C and E are definitely correct.
