NEET Chemistry · The p-Block Elements (Class XI) · Very Hard
1. Consider the statements: (I) Boron is a non-metal. (II) Aluminium is amphoteric. (III) Carbon shows maximum catenation. (IV) The +2 oxidation state becomes more stable down Group 14. Which are correct?
Answer: B
Explanation: All four statements are correct and reflect important trends in Groups 13 and 14.

2. Which Group 13 element shows the greatest tendency to form covalent compounds?
Answer: D
Explanation: The very small size and high ionisation enthalpy of boron make its compounds predominantly covalent.

3. The oxidation state that becomes increasingly stable down Group 13 due to the inert-pair effect is:
Answer: B
Explanation: The ns2 electron pair becomes less available for bonding down the group, stabilising the +1 oxidation state.

4. The general valence-shell electronic configuration of Group 13 elements is:
Answer: B
Explanation: Group 13 elements have three valence electrons with the general configuration ns2np1.

5. Which halide of boron is the strongest Lewis acid?
Answer: C
Explanation: Back-bonding is strongest in BF3 and weakens down the series; therefore electron deficiency and Lewis acidity increase from BF3 to BI3.

6. Which oxide is amphoteric?
Answer: D
Explanation: Al2O3 reacts with both acids and bases and is amphoteric.

7. The general valence-shell configuration of Group 14 elements is:
Answer: B
Explanation: Group 14 elements possess four valence electrons with configuration ns2np2.

8. Which Group 14 element shows the maximum catenation?
Answer: D
Explanation: The strong C–C bond and small size of carbon produce exceptional catenation.
NEET Chemistry · The p-Block Elements (Class XI) · Very Hard
9. The stability of the +2 oxidation state down Group 14:
Answer: B
Explanation: The inert-pair effect increasingly stabilises the ns2 pair, making the +2 state more stable down the group.

The p-Block Elements (Class XI) Frequently Asked Questions
How should I memorise p-Block Chemistry?
Use comparison tables by group and focus on trends, important exceptions, structures and reactions instead of memorising disconnected facts.
Why are exceptions important in p-Block questions?
Small size, high electronegativity, absence of d orbitals in second-period elements and inert-pair effects create frequently tested deviations from simple trends.
What is a good revision method for p-Block?
Revise one group at a time, write the common oxidation states and key compounds, then immediately solve targeted MCQs.
