Ionisation enthalpy is one of the factors favoring the formation of ionic bonds. 1. Will you agree with this statement? 2. Explain how? 3. Write another factor favouring the formation of ionic bonds.

Answer»

1. Yes.

2. In the formation of the ionic bond, a metal atom losses electrons to form cation. This process requires energy equal to the ionisation enthalpy. Lesser the ionisation enthalpy of the metal atom, easier will be the removal of electron from the atom to form cation and hence greater will be the tendency to form ionic bond.

3. Electron gain enthalpy of the element forming anion.

Explain the factors favoring of assimilation.

Answer»

1. Toleration: assimilation is possible only when individual and groups are tolerated towards cultural deferences of others. Tolerance helps people to come together, to develop contacts and to participate in common social and cultural activities. When the majority group or the dominant group itself is secure.

2. Intimate social relationships: Assimilation is the final product of social contacts. The relative speed in which it is achieved depends on the nature of the contacts. It takes place naturally in primary groups such as family and friendship groups.

3. Amalgamation or intermarriage: It is an effective favoring assimilation process. It does not combine two opposite sexes but also two different families, castes, religious and regional groups together. A factor which helps complete assimilation is amalgamation which refers to the intermarriage of different groups without biological amalgamation complete assimilation is not possible. Mere inter mixture of the groups to a limited degree does not guarantee assimilation but intermarriage or amalgamation must be accepted in the mores and become a part of the institutional; structure, before assimilation exists.

4. Cultural similarity: If there are striking similarities between them an constituents of cultures of groups assimilation is quick to take place. In America, for example English¬speaking protestants are assimilated with greater aped than non-Christians who do not speak English.

5. Education: Education is another conductive factor for assimilation. For immigrant people public education has played a prominent role in providing culture contact. Maurice R Davis has pointed out in his “world immigration” that in American public schools has been playing the vital role in the process of Americanizing the children of foreign born parents.

6. Equal Social and economic opportunity: Public education alone is not enough. People of all groups must have equal access to socio-economic opportunities. Only then, they can come closer and establish relations among themselves with mutual trust. As it has been observed in the case of America, full assimilation is< possible only when full participation in social, cultural and economic life is allowed.

Assimilation is a two way process when it happens between two vulture groups. Each group contributing varying proportions of the eventual blend.
