Question

Match the LIST-I with LIST-II.

LIST-I		LIST-II
A.	Pnicogen (group 15)	I.	Ts
B.	Chalcogen (group 16)	II.	Og
C.	Halogen (group 17)	III.	Lv
D.	Noble gas (group 18)	IV.	Mc

Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

• A. A-IV, B-I, C-II, D-III
• B. A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II
• C. A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II
• D. A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I

Hint:

Remember the names and symbols of the most recent elements added to the periodic table, especially those belonging to well-known groups like Pnicogens, Chalcogens, Halogens, and Noble Gases. This often helps in matching questions related to these groups.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

To solve this matching problem, we need to align each group from LIST-I with its respective element from LIST-II. Let's break it down:

1. Pnicogen (group 15): The pnicogens are the elements in Group 15 of the periodic table. These traditionally include nitrogen, phosphorus, arsenic, antimony, and bismuth. The synthetic element Moscovium (Mc) also belongs to group 15.
2. Chalcogen (group 16): The chalcogens are in Group 16, including oxygen, sulfur, selenium, tellurium, and polonium. Livermorium (Lv) is a synthetic element that belongs to Group 16.
3. Halogen (group 17): The halogens include fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine. Tennessine (Ts) is a synthetic element in Group 17.
4. Noble gas (group 18): This group contains helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon. Oganesson (Og) displays properties similar to the noble gases, although it might not be a gas at room temperature.

Now, let's match them with LIST-II:

• A-IV: Pnicogen (group 15) matches with Mc (Moscovium).
• B-III: Chalcogen (group 16) matches with Lv (Livermorium).
• C-I: Halogen (group 17) matches with Ts (Tennessine).
• D-II: Noble gas (group 18) matches with Og (Oganesson).

Thus, the correct answer is: A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II

Answer 2

Let's match the families of elements with their corresponding symbols from the given lists, focusing on the most recently named elements in these groups: 

A. Pnicogen (group 15): The elements in Group 15 are Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), Arsenic (As), Antimony (Sb), Bismuth (Bi), and Moscovium (Mc). Therefore, Pnicogen matches with Mc. A - IV 

B. Chalcogen (group 16): The elements in Group 16 are Oxygen (O), Sulfur (S), Selenium (Se), Tellurium (Te), Polonium (Po), and Livermorium (Lv). Therefore, Chalcogen matches with Lv. B - III 

C. Halogen (group 17): The elements in Group 17 are Fluorine (F), Chlorine (Cl), Bromine (Br), Iodine (I), Astatine (At), and Tennessine (Ts). Therefore, Halogen matches with Ts. C - I 

D. Noble gas (group 18): The elements in Group 18 are Helium (He), Neon (Ne), Argon (Ar), Krypton (Kr), Xenon (Xe), Radon (Rn), and Oganesson (Og). Therefore, Noble gas matches with Og. D - II 

The correct matching is A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II, which corresponds to option (2).
