Nitrogen (atomic number 7) and phosphorus (atomic number 15) belong to group 15 of the periodic table. Write the electronic configuration of these two elements. Which of these will be more electronegative? Why?

Answer»

Solution :The ELECTRONIC configuration of nitrogen and phosphorus are as follows:

Nitrogen is more electronegative than phosphorus because electronegative character DECREASES on moving down a GROUP.
3955.

Nitrogen (atomic number 7) and phosphorus (atomic number 15) belong to group 15 of thePeriodic Table. Write the electronic configuration of these two elements. Which of these will be more electronegative? Why?

Answer»

SOLUTION : (a) NITROGEN (N) - At. No. = 7,
ELECTRONIC configuration = 2,5.
(b)Phosphorous (P) - At. No = 15,
Electronic configuration = 2, 8,5.
Thus, nitrogen will be more electronegative because its atom has SMALL size due to which theattraction of its NUCLEUS for the incoming electron is more.
3956.

Nitrogen (atomic number 7) and phosphorus (atomic number 15) belong to Group 15 of the Periodic Table. Write the electronic configuration of these two elements. Which of these will be more electronegative ? Why ?

Answer»

SOLUTION :Nitrogen with atomic NUMBER 7 has got 7 electrons with electronic configuration 2, 5 i.e., 2 electrons in K-shell and 5 electrons in L-shell.
Phosphorus with atomic number 15 has got 15 electrons with electronic configuration 2, 8, 5 i.e., 2 electrons in K-shell, 8 electrons in L-shell and 5 electrons in M-shell.
Non-metallic character decreases as we MOVE down the group. THEREFORE, nitrogen will be more ELECTRONEGATIVE than phosphorus.
3957.

Name two metals which react violently with cold water, Write any observation you would make when such a metal is dropped into water. How would you identify the gas evolved, if any, during the reactions?

Answer»

Solution :Metals which react VIOLENTLY with cold water are potassium (k) and sodium (Na).
`2K+2H_2O to 2KOH +H_2+ Heat energy`
`2Na+2H_2O to 2NaOH+H_2+ Heat energy`
The HYDROGEN gas produced during the reactions of these two metals with water immediately CATCHES fire. Thus, these reactions are VIOLENT and EXOTHERMIC.
THe gas evolved during these reactions burns with a popping sound which confirms that the gas is hydrogen `(H_2)`.
3984.

Name two metals which react violently with cold water. Write any three observations which youwould make when such a metal is dropped into water. How would you identify the gas evolved,if any, during the reaction ?

Answer»

Solution :Sodium and potassium metals react violently with cold water.Three observations that we make are :
(i) The metal floats on the surface of water. (ii) The REACTION is exothermic. (iii) Hydrogen gas evolved catches fire.
To identify the gas evolved, we PASS the gas through soap solution. Soap bubbles are formed which RISE up. When a burning CANDLE is brought near the bubbles, hydrogen gas burns with a .pop. SOUND.
