Atoms of elements in period 2 tend to form multiple bonds (double or triple) with one another. Examples : O=O (1 + 1), NN (1 + 2)

40

Atoms of elements in period 3 do not form multiple bonds with one another. Instead, they form cyclic structure in which all bonds are bonds.

Atomic Atomic radius radius Atomic radius when ENC

ENC depends on

1. Nuclear charge

2. Screening effect of electrons (repulsion among

electrons)

51

For the first 2 or 3 elements,

atomic radius more significantly because

nuclear charge sharply

52

Then, atomic radius less sharply because

screening effect is getting more important

The atomic numbers of tellurium and iodine are 52 and 53 respectively. Why is tellurium heavier than

iodine?Answer

Atomic number of an element is not related to the mass of an atom

of the element. The atomic number of an element is the number of

protons in an atom of the element. It is unique for each element. The

mass of an atom of the element is mainly determined by the number

of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. Therefore, tellurium is

heavier than iodine though the atomic number of tellurium is smaller

than that of iodine.Back

Why is the melting point of chlorine higher than argon?

AnswerChlorine atom has a higher effective nuclear charge than argon atom,

so the atomic radius of chlorine is smaller than that of argon.

Therefore, the van der Waals’ forces between chlorine molecules are

stronger than those between argon molecules. Since a higher amount

of energy is needed to overcome the stronger van der Waals’ forces,

the melting point of chlorine is higher than that of argon.

Considering the trend of atomic radius in the Periodic Table, arrange the elements Si, N and P in the order of increasing atomic radius. Explain your answer briefly.

AnswerIn the Periodic Table, N is above P in Group VA. As the atomic radius increases down a group, the atomic radius of N is smaller than that of P.

Si and P belong to the same period. Since the atomic radius decreases across a period, the atomic radius of P is smaller than that of Si.

Therefore, the atomic radius increases in the order: N < P < Si.

(a) With the help of the Periodic Table only, arrange the elements selenium, sulphur and argon in the order of increasing first ionization enthalpies. Answer

(a) The first ionization enthalpy increases in the order: Se < S < Ar.

(b) Describe and explain the general periodic trend of atomic radius of elements in the Periodic Table. Answer


112


(b) Within a given period, the atomic radii decrease progressively with

increasing atomic numbers. This is because an increase in atomic

number by one means that one more electron and one more proton

are added in the atom. The additional electron would cause an

increase in repulsion between the electrons in the outermost shell and

results in an increase in atomic radius. The additional proton in the

nucleus would cause the electrons to experience greater attractive

forces from the nucleus. Due to the fact that the newly added electron

goes to the outermost shell and is at approximately the same distance

from the nucleus, the repulsion between the electrons is relatively

ineffective to cause an increase in atomic radius. Therefore, the effect

of increasing nuclear charge outweighs the effect of repulsion between

the electrons. That means, there is an increase in effective nuclear

charge. As a result, the atomic radii of elements decrease across a

period.

(c) With reference to Fig. 38-9 on p.11 (variation in electronegativity value of the first 20 elements), explain why the alkali metals are almost at the bottom of the troughs, whereas the halogens are at the peaks of the plot. Answer


114

(c) The alkali metals are almost at the bottom of troughs, indicating that

they have low electronegativity values. It is because their nuclear

charge is effectively shielded by the fully-filled inner electron shells

of electrons, and the bonding electrons are attracted less strongly.

On the other hand, the halogens appear at the peaks. This

indicates that they have high electronegativity values. It is because

they have one electron less than the octet electronic configuration.

They tend to attract an electron to complete the octet, and the

bonding electrons are attracted strongly.

(a) Why does silicon(IV) oxide not react with water?

Answer(a) Silicon(IV) oxide does not react with water

because the electronegativity values of silicon

and oxygen are very similar. The Si — O bond

can be considered as nonpolar, so there is no

positive centre for the lone pair electrons of the

water molecule to attack.
