Which of the following pairs of elements belongs to the group of representative elements in the periodic table?

What are the major differences between metals and non-metals?

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R.$
Assertion $A :$ Metallic character decreases and non-metallic character increases on moving from left to right in a period.
Reason $R :$ It is due to increase in ionisation enthalpy and decrease in electron gain enthalpy,when one moves from left to right in a period.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :

What is the correct order of basicity of halides?

Among the given configurations,identify the element which does not belong to the same family as the others?

Statement $I :$ Acid strength increases in the order given as $HF < HCl < HBr < HI$.
Statement $II :$ As the size of the elements $F, Cl, Br, I$ increases down the group,the bond strength of $HF, HCl, HBr$ and $HI$ decreases and so the acid strength increases.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below.
