The periodicity is related to the electronic configuration. That is, all chemical and phyical properties are a manifestation of the electronic configurfation of the elements. The atomic and ionic radii generally decrease in a preiod from left or right. As a consequence , the ionisation enthalpies generally increase and electron gain enthalpies become more negative across a period. In other words, the ionisation enthalpy of the extreme left element in a period is the least and the electron left element on the extreme right is the highest negative. This results into high chemical reactivity at two extgremes and the lowest in the centre. Similarly down the group, the increase in atomic and ionic radii result in gradual decrease (with excetption in some third period elements) in electron gain enthalpies in the case of main group elements . These properties can be related with the (i) reducing and oxidising behacviour of the elements (ii) metallic and no-metallic charcter of element (iii) acidic, basic , amphoteric and neutral character of the oxides of the elements. Among `Al_(2)O_(3), SiO_(2),P_(2)O_(3)` and `SO_(2)` the correct order of acid strenght is :A. `B gt Al gt Mg gt K`B. `Al gt Mg gt B gt K`C. `Mg gt Al gt K gt B`D. `K gt Mg gt Al gt B` |

The atomic and ionic radii generally decrease in a preiod from left or right. As a consequence , the ionisation enthalpies generally increase and electron gain enthalpies become more negative across a period.

The periodicity is related to the electronic configuration. That is, all chemical and physical properties are a manifestation of the electronic configuration of the elements. The atomic and ionic radii generally decrease in a period from left to right. As a consequence, the ionization enthalpies generally increase and electron gain enthalpies become more negative across a period. In other words, the ionization enthalpy of the exterme left element in a period is the least and teh electron gain enthalpy of the element on the exterme right is the highest negative. This results into high chemical reactivity at the two extermes and the lowest in he centre. Similarly down the group, the increase in atomic and ionic radii result in gradual decrease in ionization enthalpies and a regular decrease (with exception in some third period elements) in electron gain enthalpies in the case of main group elements. The loss and gain of electrons can be co-related with the reducting and oxidising behaviour, and also with metallic and non-metallic character respectively, of the elements. The correct order of the metallic character is:A. `AI gt Mg gt Na gt Si`B. `Na gt Mg lt AI gt Si`C. `Na gt Mg gt AI gt Si`D. `AI gt Mg gt Si gt Na` |
Answer» Correct Answer - C The metallic character of the elements is highest at the extremely left (low ionisation energies) and then decreases across the period from left to right (ionisation energies increases across the period). |

Which of the following statement is incorrect?A. The tendency to attract bonded pair of electron in case of hybrid orbitals follow the order : `sp gt sp^(2) gt sp^(3)`B. Alkali metals generally have negative value of electron gain enthalpy.C. `Cs^(+)(g)` release more energy upon gain of en electron than `CI(g)`.D. The electronegativity values for `2p`-series elements is less than that for `3p`-series elements on account of small size and high inter electronic repulsions. |
Answer» Correct Answer - D The tendency of attract bonded pair of electron in case of hybrid orbitals increases with increase in `%s`. Character and so the order : `sp gt sp^(2) gt sp^(3)` The electron affinity values for `2p`-series elements is less that for `3p`-series elements on account of small size and high inter electronic repulsions. statements `(B)` and `(C )` are facts. Every cation releases more energy than neutral atom upon gain of an electrons. |
