SSC CPO 2022 PYQ — Question 53

SSC CPO - 9 Nov 2022 - Shift 1 • General Awareness • Q53

Which of the following elements are included in the same group in the periodic table?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. H, Li, Na, K.

The elements hydrogen (H), lithium (Li), sodium (Na), and potassium (K) are all in the same group. However, lithium (Li), sodium (Na), and potassium (K) are in the same group, which is Group 1 (the alkali metals). Hydrogen (H), although often placed in Group 1 due to its single electron, does not share the same chemical properties as the alkali metals and is typically considered separately.
