The statement that is incorrect for the periodic classification of elements is:

1.	The properties of elements are a periodic function of their atomic number.
2.	Non-metallic elements are lesser in number than metallic elements.
3.	The first ionization energies of elements along a period do not vary in a regular manner with an increase in atomic number.
4.	For transition elements, the d-subshells are filled with electrons monotonically with an increase in atomic number.

Which among the following options is a nonmetal?

The ions O^2-, F^-, Na⁺, Mg^2+, and Al³⁺ are isoelectronic. Their ionic radii show [2003]

1. an increase from O^2- to F^- and then decrease from Na⁺ to Al³⁺

2. a decrease from O^2- to F^- and then increase from Na⁺ to Al³⁺

3. a significant increase from O^2- to Al³⁺

4. a significant decrease from O^2- to Al³⁺
