Compare NaCl and CsCl with respect to ease of formation and also strength of ionic bond.

Answer»

Solution :Ionic compounds are formed easily between larger cation and smaller anion. This is because an atom whose atomic radius is large can FORM a cation easily and an atom that has a small atomic radius can form an anion easily. `Cs^(+)` ION can be formed more easily than `Na^(+)` ion. FORMATION of CsCl is easier than the formation of NACL. Between NaCl and CsCl, as the anion is the same, that is, `Cl^(-)`, the sizes of the cations are compared. `Cs^(+)` has a larger ionic radius than `Na^(+)`. THUS, the strength of ionic bond is more in NaCl than CsCl.

Compare and contrast fossil fuels and the sun as direct energy sources.

Answer»

Solution :Fossil fuel are energy sources such as coal and petroleum obtained from underneath of earth.s crust they are directly available to human being for use hence fossil fuels are the direct source of energy these are LIMITED in AMOUNT these are non renewable sources of energy because three cannot be replenished in NATURE fossil fuel take millione of years for their formation.
If the present fossil fuel of the earth gets exhausted its formations will take several years. fossil fulls are also very costly.
On the other HAND SOLAR energy is a renewable and direct source of energy and will do so for the next five billion years, solar energy is available free of cost to all in unlimited amount it replenishes in the sun itself.

How does the electronegativity changes as we move from left to right across a period ?

Answer»

Solution :a] As we MOVE from left to RIGHT along a period, ELECTRONEGATIVE character increases. This is because of increase in the number of protons which increases the positive charge on the nucleus. THUS, the attractive force between the nucleus and valence electrons increases thereby increasing the tendency of atoms to gain electrons. This increases electronegativity
6867.

Comment on the intensity of charge of an electric field when HF and dry air are placed between two charged parallel plates.

Answer»

Solution :When a polar molecule like HF is placed between charged parallel PLATES, the molecule orients in such a way that the positive end of the molecule is DIRECTED towards the negatively charged plate and the negative end of the molecule is directed towards the positively charged plate. As a result of this, the intensity of the CHARGE on each plate is DIMINISHED. HOWEVER, when dry air (nitrogen, oxygen), which is non-polar in nature is placed, there would be no change in the intensity of the charge.
