Diamonds and graphite are both made of pure carbon — just arranged differently.

In which of the following options, the order of arrangements does not agree with the variation of property indicated against it?
(increasing ionic size)
(increasing first ionization enthalpy)
(increasing electron gain enthalpy)
(increasing metallic radius)
To determine which option does not agree with the variation of the property indicated, we need to analyze each option separately.Option 1: (increasing ionic size)• Ionic size generally increases with decreasing positive charge and increasing negative charge.• has the smallest size due to the highest positive charge.• is smaller than because of the higher positive charge.• is smaller than because has a negative charge.• This order is correct.Option 2: (increasing first ionization enthalpy)• First ionization enthalpy generally increases across a period from left to right.• However, nitrogen has a higher ionization enthalpy than oxygen due to its half-filled p orbital stability.• The correct order should be • This order is incorrect.Option 3: (increasing electron gain enthalpy)• Electron gain enthalpy becomes more negative as we move up the group in halogens.• Fluorine has less negative electron gain enthalpy than chlorine due to its small size and high electron-electron repulsion.• The correct order is • This order is incorrect.Option 4: (increasing metallic radius)• Metallic radius increases down the group.• This order is correct.Therefore, the option that does not agree with the variation of property indicated is Option 2.
