(a)
Interpretation:
Whether the electron configuration
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:
Whether the electron configuration
Concept Introduction:
The energy that is needed to remove an electron from the isolated, neutral gaseous atom is known as ionization energy. It is represented by
(c)
Interpretation:
Whether the electron configuration
Concept Introduction:
The change in energy when an electron is added to the neutral gaseous atom is known as electron affinity. An anion is formed in this process.
