Given below are two statements:
Statement (I): Both metals and non-metals exist in p and d-block elements.
Statement (II): Non-metals have higher ionisation enthalpy and higher electronegativity than the metals.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below: [2024]
(3)
Statement (I): s, d, and f block has only metals while p block has metals, non-metals and metalloids. Thus statement (I) is false.
Statement (II): Non-metals are electronegative i.e. have a tendency to attract electrons. Statement (II) is true.
