Answer to Problem 35E

No, there are no differences.

Explanation of Solution

Refer to figure 3-4.

The electro negativity of carbon (C) , nitrogen (N) , and oxygen (O) elements obtained from figure 3-4 is:

  • Carbon: 2.5
  • Oxygen: 3.5
  • Nitrogen: 3.0

Thus, the increasing order of electro negativity is C < N < O .

Repeat exercise 31 (a):

In a periodic table nuclear attraction on incoming electrons increases along the period because the atomic radii decreases from left to right. As a result electro negativity increases along the period from left to right.

The atomic radii increase down the group because nuclear attraction decreases. As a result electro negativity decreases down the group.

The carbon (C) , nitrogen (N) , and oxygen (O) are the elements of period 2 and their electronic configurations are as follows:

  • Carbon: 1s22s22p2
  • Nitrogen: 1s22s22p3
  • oxygen: 1s22s22p4

The electro negativity increases along the period from left to right. Hence the correct order of increasing electro negativity of C, N, O element is:

  • C < N < O

The answer obtained from exercise 31 (a) is C < N < O .

Answer to Problem 35E

No, there is  no difference.

Explanation of Solution

Refer to figure 3-4

The electro negativity of Selenium (Se), sulfur (S) and chlorine (Cl) obtained from figure 3-4 are:

  • Selenium: 2.4
  • Sulfur: 2.5
  • Chlorine: 3.0

The increasing order of electro negativity is Se < S < Cl .

Repeat exercise 31 (b):

In a periodic table nuclear attraction on incoming electrons increases along the period because the atomic radii decreases from left to right. As a result electro-negativity increases along the period from left to right.

The atomic radii increase down the group because nuclear attraction decreases. As a result electro-negativity decreases down the group.

The element Selenium (Se) lies in 4th period, 16th group, sulfur (S) lie in 3rd period, 16th group and chlorine (Cl) lie in 3rd period, 17th group. The electronic configuration of these elements as follows:

  • Selenium: 1s22s22p63s23p63d104s24p4
  • Sulfur: 1s22s22p63s23p4
  • Chlorine: 1s22s22p63s23p5

The electro-negativity decreases down the group. Hence the correct order of increasing electro-negativity of S, Se, Cl element is:

  • Se < S < Cl

The answer obtained from exercise 31(b) is Se < S < Cl .

  • Silicon: 1.8
  • Germanium: 1.8
  • Tin: 1.8

The increasing order of electro-negativity is Si=Ge=Sn .

Repeat exercise 31 (c):

In a periodic table nuclear attraction on incoming electrons increases along the period because the atomic radii decreases from left to right. As a result electro-negativity increases along the period from left to right.

The atomic radii increase down the group because nuclear attraction decreases. As a result electro-negativity decreases down the group.

The element Silicon lies in 3rd period, 14th group, Germanium lie in 4th period, 14th group and Tin lie in 5th period, 14th group. The electronic configuration of these elements as follows:

  • Silicon: 1s22s22p63s23p2
  • Germanium: 1s22s22p63s23p63d104s24p2
  • Tin: 1s22s22p63s23p63d104s24p64d105s25p2

The electro-negativity increases along the period from left to right. Hence the correct order of increasing electro-negativity of Si, Ge, Sn element is:

  • Sn<Ge<Si

The answer obtained from exercise 31(c) is Sn<Ge<Si .

The increasing order of electro-negativity is Tl=Ge<S .

Repeat exercise 31 (d):

In a periodic table nuclear attraction on incoming electrons increases along the period because the atomic radii decreases from left to right. As a result electro-negativity increases along the period from left to right.

The atomic radii increase down the group because nuclear attraction decreases. As a result electro-negativity decreases down the group.

The element Thallium lies in 6th period, 13th group, Germanium lie in 4th period, 14th group and sulfur lie in 3rd period, 16th group. The electronic configuration of these elements as follows:

  • Thallium: 1s22s22p63s23p63d104s24p64d105s25p64f145d106s26p1
  • Germanium: 1s22s22p63s23p63d104s24p2
  • Sulfur: 1s22s22p63s23p4

The electro-negativity increases along the period from left to right and decreases down the group. Hence the correct order of increasing electro-negativity of Tl, S, Ge element is:

Higher the difference in electro-negativity Lower will be the bond polarity. Hence, CF bond is most polar.

Repeat exercise 33 (a):

Bond polarity is measured by electro-negativity of elements. Higher the difference in electro-negativity lower will be the bond polarity. Also, size of atomic radii plays a great role in formation of polar covalent bond.

According to Fajan’s rule:

“The covalent bond will be more polar if the size of cation is small and size of anion is large.”

In this question size of anion is same.

The size of cation such as Germanium (Ge) and silicon (Si) has larger atomic radii whereas carbon (C) has smaller atomic radii.

Hence, CF bond is most polar.
