Competition practiceAnalogy & Classification
  • AHydrogen, Bromine, Methane
  • BOxygen, Nitrogen, Helium
  • CArgon, Neon, Krypton
  • DOzone, Ammonia, Chlorine

Step-by-Step Solution

Oxygen, nitrogen, helium, argon, neon, krypton, ozone, ammonia and chlorine are all gases at room temperature, and so are hydrogen and methane. Bromine, though, is a deep red liquid at room temperature — the only other element that is liquid then is mercury — so the group holding bromine is the one that breaks the rule.
Answer: A) Hydrogen, Bromine, Methane
