Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The order of the increasing size of the elements
Concept Introduction:
Atomic size is half of the distance between the adjacent atoms in the molecule. Since the electron cloud has no fixed boundary so the size of the atom is measured with high difficulty.
(b)
Interpretation:
The order of the increasing size of the elements
Concept Introduction:
Atomic size is half of the distance between the adjacent atoms in the molecule. Since the electron cloud has no fixed boundary so the size of the atom is measured with high difficulty.
(c)

- Does 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_forwardArrange the following groups of atoms in order of increasing size. a. Rb, Na, Be b. Sr, Se, Ne c. Fe, P, Oarrow_forwardTwo elements are in the same group, one following the other. One is a metalloid; the other is a metal. Both form oxides of the formula RO2. The first is acidic; the next is amphoteric. Identify the two elements.arrow_forward
- For each of the following pairs of atoms or ions, state which you expect to have the larger radius. (a) Na or K (b) Cs or Cs+ (c) Rb+ or Kr (d) K or Ca (e) Cl or Ararrow_forward6.81 Why is there no element to the immediate right of magnesium in the periodic table?arrow_forwardIf potassium chlorate has the formula KClO3, what formula would you expect for lithium bromate?arrow_forward
- Rank the elements in each of the following sets in order of increasing atomic radius. (a) K, Na, Rb, Cs (b) Ne, O, B, Carrow_forwardRank the elements in each of the following sets in order of increasing atomic radius. (Use the appropriate <, =, or > symbol to separate substances in the list.) (a) Na, Li, H, Rb (b) S, Ar, Si, Alarrow_forwardGive the shell electron configuration for the following. (For example, the shell electron configuration of lithium is written 2,1.) (a) argon (b) magnesiumarrow_forward
- Which of the following statements is incorrect? (a) The second ionization energy of sulphur is greater than that of chlorine (b) The third ionization energy of phosphorus is greater than that of aluminium (c) The first ionization energy of aluminium is approximately the same as that of gallium (d) The second ionization energy of boron is greater than that of carbon a b O darrow_forwardAn element has the following electronic configuration: [Kr]4d105s25p2(a) What period does it belong to?(b) What is its group number? (Use group numbers from 1 to 18)(c) What kind of element is it? (Main group metal, transition metal, metalloid, nonmetal?)(d) How many unpaired electrons are there in an atom of this element?arrow_forward(a) Why do successive IEs of a given element always increase? (b) When the difference between successive IEs of a given element is exceptionally large (for example, between IE1 and IE2 of K), what do we learn about its electron configuration? (c) The bars represent the relative magnitudes of the first five ionization energies of an atom: Identify the element and write its complete electron config uration, assuming it comes from (a) Period 2; (b) Period 3; (c) Period 4.arrow_forward
