Which of the following represents the correct order of increasing first ionisation enthalpy for `Ca,Ba,Se`, and `Ar`?A. `Ca lt S lt Ba lt Se lt Ar`B. `S lt Se lt Ca lt Ba lt Ar`C. `Ba lt Ca lt Se lt S lt Ar`D. `Ca lt Ba lt S lt Se lt Ar`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
Ionisation energy increases along a period from left to right and decreases down a group. The position of given elements in the periodic table is as
` {:(2,16,18),(Ca,S,Ar),(Ba,Se,):}`
Thus, the order of increasing `DeltaHIE_(1)` is
`Ba lt Ca lt Se lt S lt Ar`.

Evaluate ∫ 1/(x log x[log(log x)] dx on (1, ∞).

Answer»

t = log (log x)

dt = (1/log x).(1/x) dx

∫ 1/(x log x [log (log x)] dx 

= ∫ dt/t = log |t| + C 

= log |log (log x)|+ C

142.

Solve ∫ (cot (log x)/x) dx, x ∈ I ⊂ (0, ∞) \ {enπ : n ∈ Z).

Answer»

t = log x ⇒ dt = dx/x 

∫ (cot (log x)/x) dx = ∫ cot t dt = log (sin t) + C 

= log (sin (log x)) + C

143.

Solve ∫ sec2 x cosec2 x dx on I ⊂ R [{nπ : n ∈ Z} ∪ {(2n + 1) (π/2) : n ∈ Z}]

Answer»

∫ sec2 x.cosec2 x dx 

= ∫ (1/(cos2 x sin2 x)) dx

= ∫ (sin2 x + cos2 x/(cos2 x.sin2 x)) dx

= ∫ (1/cos2 x) dx + ∫ (1/sin2 x) dx 

= ∫ sec2 x dx + ∫ cosec2 x dx 

= tan x – cot x + C

Consider the following statements: (i) The radius of an atom is larger than that of the parent atom. (ii) The ionization enegry generally increase with increaseing atomic number in a period. (iii) The electronegativity of an element is the tendecy of an isolated atom to attract an electron. Which of the above statements is//are correct?A. `(i),(ii),(iii)`B. `(ii)`and(iii)`C. `(i)`and (ii)`D. `(i)` alone

Answer» Correct Answer - C
The electronegativity of an element is the tendency of a bonded atom to attract the shared electron pair while the tendency of an isolated atom to attract an electron is electron gain enthalpy.

The first ionization enthalpy of an atom is the minimun enegry nedded to remove the highest enegry (that is the outermost) electron from the neutral atom in the________state in its ground state.A. solidB. liquidC. gaseousD. colloidal

Answer» Correct Answer - C
Energy `+X(g) rarr X^(+)(g) +e^(-)`
where `x` represents an atom of any element, `e^(-)` is an electron and `g` denotes the gaseous state. Unlike an atom in the condensed phase (liquid and soild), and atom in the gaseous phase of the element ois virtually uninfluenced by its neighbors. the magnitude of ionization enthalpy is a measure of teh effort required to force an atom to give up an electron, or of how tightly the electron is held in the atom. the higher the ionization enthalpy, the more difficult it is to remove the electron.
