Numerous forms of the periodic table have been revised from time to time. A modern verion, which is most convenient and widely used is the long or extended from the periodic table. The aufbau principle (electrons are filled in the progressive order of their increasing energy i.e., by n + l rule) and the electronic configuration of atom provides a theoretical foundation for the periodic classification. The horizontal rows are called periods. There are altogether seven periods. The first period consists of 2 elements. The subsequent periods consist of 8, 8, 18 and 32 elements respectively. The seventh maximum of 32 elements. Elements having similar outer electronic configurations in their atoms are grouped in vertical columns. These are referred to as groups or famillies. According to the recommendation of IUPAC, the groups are numbered 1 to 18 replacing the older notation of groups 0, IA, IIA ..... VIIA, VIII, IB, ...... VII B. Each successive period in the periodic table is associated with the filling up of next higher principal energy level following aufbua sequence. The number of elements in each period is twice the number of atomic orbitals avaliable in the energy level that is being filled. All the elements are classified into four blocks, i.e., s-block, p-block, d-block and f-block depending on the type of atomic orbitals that are being filled with the last electron of the element.

In 1931, Pauling defined the electronegativity of an atom as the tendency of the atom to attract electrons to itself when combined in a compound. The implication is that when a covalent bond is formed, the electrons used for bonding need not be shared equally by both atoms. If the bonding electrons spend more time around one atom, that atom will have a `del-`charge, and consequently the other atom will have a `del+` charge. In the extreme case, where the bonding electrons are round one atom all of the time, the bond is ionic. Pauling and others have attempted to relate the electronegativity difference between two atoms to the amount of ionic character in the bond between them. Mulliken In 1934, Mulliken suggested an alternative approach to electronegativity based on the ionization energy and electron affinity of an atom. Consider two atoms A and B. If an electron is transferred from A to B, forming ions `A^(+)` and `B^(-)`, then the energy change is the ionization energy of atom `A(I_(A))` minus the electron affinity of atom `B(E_(B))`, that is `I_(A)-E_(B)`. Alternatively, if the electron was transferred the other way to give `B^(+)` and `A^(-)` ions, then the energy changed would be `I_(B) - I_(A)`. If `A^(+)` and `B^(-)` are actually formed, then this process require less energy , and `(I_(A) - E_(B)) lt (I_(B) - E_(A))` Rerranging `(I_(A)+E_(A)) lt (I_(A)-E_(B))` Now with respect to electronegativity for the same change, `E.N_(A) lt E.N_(B)`. Thus Mulliken suggested that electronegativity is proportional to `I.E + E.A` and could be regarded as the average of the ionization energy and the electron affinity of an atom. Electronegativity `=((I+E))/(2)` Mulliken used I and E values measured in electron volts, and the values were about 2.8 times alrger than the Pauling values. It is to be noted that `I.E`. and `E.A` values are defined for singular gaseous atoms. For the reaction `A(g) +e^(-) rarr A^(+)(g) Delta H_(r) = DeltaH_(eg)`. The enthalpy change will be equal to (magnitude wise):A. `DeltaH_(eg)` of `A^(-)(g)`B. `DeltaH_(I.E)` of `A(g)`C. `DeltaH_(E.N)` of `A(g)`D. `DeltaH_(I.E)` of `A^(-)(g)`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
`A^(-)(g) rarr a(g)+e^(-) DeltaH_(r) = DeltaH_(I.E)` of `A^(-)(g)`

It is to be noted that `I.E`. and `E.A` values are defined for singular gaseous atoms. We have X atoms of A. if all the atoms gain one electron each the energy released is `aeV`. If Y atoms of A lose one electron each, then the energy absorbed is beV. Then the electronegativity of A on the Mulliken scale will be:A. `(a+b)/(2)`B. `(1)/(2)((a)/(X)+(b)/(Y))`C. `(1)/(2)(a+b)xx N_(a)`D. `(1)/(2)((a)/(X)+(b)/(Y))xx N_(a)`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
For A, electron affinity per atom `= (a)/(X) ev`
For A, ionisation energy per atom `=(b)/(Y) ev`
`E.N.` (Mulliken) `=(1)/(2) ((a)/(X)+(b)/(Y))`

The energy required to pull the most loosely bound electrons from an atom is known as ionization potential. It is expressed in electron volts.

Incorrect order of ionisation enegy is:A. `Pb (I.E.) gt Sn (I.E.)`B. `Na^(+) (I.E.) gt Mg^(+) (I.E.)`C. `Li^(+) (I.E.) lt O^(+) (I.E.)`D. `Be^(+) (I.E.) lt C^(+) (I.E.)`

The minimum amount of energy which is required to remove an outermost electron from any isolated neutral gaseous atom is known as first ionisation energy. These are the following factors which effect ionisation energy. (i) Ionisation energy `prop (1)/("Principal quantum number")` (ii) Ionisation energy `prop Z_(eff)` (iii) If orbitals are fully filled or half filled so stability will be more and ionisation energy will be high. (iv) If penultimate electron will effectively shield the nucles, ionisation energy will be less and vice versa.

The amount of energy required to remove the most loosely bound electron from an isolated gaseous atom is called as first ionization energy `(IE_(1))`. Similarly the amount of energies required to knock out second, third etc. electrons from the isolated and `IE_(3)gt IE_(2)gt IE_(1)`. (i) Nuclear charge (ii) Atomic size (iii) penetration effect of the electrons (iv) shielding effect of the inner electrons and (b) electronic configurations (exactly half filled and completely filled configurations are extra stable) are the important factors which affect the ionisation energies. Similarly, the amount of energy released when a neutral isolated gaseous atom accepts an extra electron to from gaseous anion is called electron affinity. `(X(g)+e^(-)(g)rarr X^(-)(g)+` energy A positive elecrton affinity idicates that the ion `X^(-)` has a lower more negative energy than the neutral atom X. The second electron affinity for the addition of a second electron to an initially neutral atom is negative because the electron replusion outweights the nuclear attraction, e.g., `O(g)+e^(-)overset("Exothermic")rarr O^(-)(g),E_(a)=+141 kJ mol^(-)` ....(i) `O^(-)(g)+e^(-)overset("Excothermic")rarr, E_(a)=-780 kJ mol^(-)` ...(ii) The electron affinity of an element depends upon (i) atomic size (ii) nuclear charge and (iii) electronic configuration. In general, in a group, ionisation energy and electron affinity decrease as the atomic size increases. The members of third period have some higher (e.g., S and Cl) electron affinity values than the members of second period (e.g., O and F) because second period elements have very small atomic size. Hence, there is tendency of electron-electron repulsion, which resultss in less evolution of energy in the formation of correcsponding anion. Which one of the following statements is incorrect in relation to ionisation enthalpy?A. Ionization enthalpy increase for each successive electron.B. The greatest increase in ionization enthalpy is experienced on removal of electron from core of noble gas configurationC. End of valence electrons is marked by a big jump in ionization enthalpyD. Removal of electron from orbitals bearing lower n value is easier than from orbital having higher n value.

The first ionisation energy of Al is smaller than that of Mg because `:`A. The atomic number of Al is smaller than that of Mg.B. the atomic size of Al is less than that of Mg.C. Penetration of `s-` subshell electrons in case of Mg is greater than that of `p-` subshell in AlD. Mg has incompletely filled `s-` orbital.

Answer» Correct Answer - 3
Penetration of `p-` subshell electron is less than `s-` subshell electrons. In case of `Mg`, the first electron is to be removed from completely filled `3s^(2)` valence shell configuration as compared to partially filled `3p^(1)` of Al. These two factors collectively accounts for the higher ionisation energy of Mg than that of Al. Therefore, `(C )` option is correct.

The first ionisation potential of `Na` is `5.1eV`. The value of eectrons gain enthalpy of `Na^(+)` will beA. `-2.55 eV`B. `-5.1 eV`C. `-10.2 eV`D. `+2.55 eV`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
`{:(Na rarr Na^(+) +e^(-),,I^(st)I.E. = 5.1 eV),(Na^(+) rarr+e^(-) rarr Na,,"Electron gain enthalpy of" Na^(+)):}`
Because reaction is reverse, so `Delta_(eg)H =- 5.1 eV`.
