Match Column-I with Column-II and select the correct option:

Column-I (a) Copper (b) Fluorine (c) Silicon (d) Cerium

Column-II (i) Non-metal (ii) Transition metal (iii) Lanthanoid (iv) Metalloid

A

(a)-(ii), (b)-(iv), (c)-(i), (d)-(iii)

B

(a)-(ii), (b)-(i), (c)-(iv), (d)-(iii)

C

(a)-(iv), (b)-(iii), (c)-(i), (d)-(ii)

D

(a)-(i), (b)-(ii), (c)-(iii), (d)-(iv)

Step-by-Step Solution

  1. Copper (Cu): It belongs to Group 11 and the d-block of the periodic table. It is a Transition metal .
  2. Fluorine (F): It belongs to Group 17 and is a halogen. It is a Non-metal .
  3. Silicon (Si): It is located at the border between metals and non-metals and shows properties of both. It is a Metalloid .
  4. Cerium (Ce): It belongs to the f-block (Atomic number 58) and is the first member of the Lanthanoid series .

Therefore, the correct matching is: (a)-(ii), (b)-(i), (c)-(iv), (d)-(iii).
