Interpretation: The given set of atoms has to be arranged in increasing order of atomic radius.
Concept Introduction:
Atomic radius is the distance between the centre of nucleus and the outermost shell of an atom. According to
Metallic radius is the half distance of two adjacent nuclei of identical metal atoms.
Covalent radius is half distance of two adjacent nuclei connected via a
In a periodic table, the atomic radius varies across the period and down the group. When moving down the group atomic radius increases as the electrons are added to a new shell. When moving across the period, the electrons are added to the same subshell and hence the atomic radius decreases, as there is less shielding and attraction between nucleus and valence electron increases.
To arrange: The given atoms in increasing order of atomic radius.
To identify the position of given atoms in periodic table.

- Palladium, with an electron configuration of [Kr] 4d10, is an exception to the aufbau principle. Write the electron configuration of the 2+ cation of palladium. Does the fact that palladium is an exception influence the electron configuration of Pd2+?arrow_forwardThe successive ionization energies for an unknown element are I1 = 896 kJ/mol I2 = 1752 kJ/mol I3 = 14,807 kJ/mol I4 = 17,948 kJ/mol To which family in the periodic table does the unknown element most likely belong?arrow_forwardDoes the information on alkali metals in Table 2-8 of the text confirm the general periodic trends in ionization energy and atomic radius? Explain.arrow_forward
- The changes in electron affinity as one goes down a group in the periodic table are not nearly as large as the variations in ionization energies. Why?arrow_forwardThe following numbers are the ratios of second ionization energy to first ionization energy: Na: 9.2 Mg: 2.0 Al: 3.1 Si: 2.0 P: 1.8 S: 2.3 Cl: 1.8 Ar: 1.8 Explain these relative numbers.arrow_forwardDiagonal relationships in the periodic table exist as well as the vertical relationships. For example, Be and Al are similar in some of their properties as are B and Si. Rationalize why these diagonal relationships hold for properties such as size, ionization energy, and electron affinity.arrow_forward
- Which is higher in energy, the 2s or 2p orbital, in hydrogen? Is this also true for helium? Explain.arrow_forwardLook up the van der Waals constants, b, for H2, N2, O2, and Cl2. Based on the periodic table, predict atomic radii for H, N, O, and Cl. Use these values to explain the sizes of the b constants.arrow_forward6.82 A particular element has the following values for its first four ionization energies: 900, 1760, 14, 850, and 21,000 kJ/mol. Without consulting a list of ionization energy values, determine what group in the periodic table this element belongs in.arrow_forward
