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.
