* Elements with similar properties are arranged in the same group. Because they have
the similar electronic structures.
21. What are the trends of ionization energy in the periodic table? Name one element

decreases from top to bottom down a group in the periodic table.
* Lowest ionization energy of one element = Caesium (Cs)
22. What are the ternds of atomic size from left to right across a period in the periodic table?

* Atomic size decreases from left to right across a period because the increased nucleus
charge attracts the electrons in the outermost shell closer to the nucleus. The shell
contracts and decrease in atomic size.

(ii) Explain why "N" has higher ionization energy than "O".
* (i) 5
B = 1s2 2s2 2p1 4
Be = 1s2 2s2 (fully-filled)
- Be has fully-filled (2s) sub-shell.
It is difficult to remove an electron from Be and more energy is required.
∴ First ionization energy of Be > B.
∴ B has lower ionization energy than Be.
* (ii) 7
N = 1s2 2s2 2p3(half-filled) 8
O = 1s2 2s2 2p4
- N has fully-filled (2p) sub-shell.
It is difficult to remove an electron from N and more energy is required.
∴ First ionization energy of N > O.
∴ N has higher ionization energy than O.
24. What is the general essential electronic structure of halogen and alkali metal?
* Halogen = ns2 np5 Alkali metal = ns1
26. Explain why fluorine has lower electron affinity than that of chlorin.
* They are in the same group. Electron affinity decreases from top to bottom moving
down a group except fluorine. The anomalous behaviour of fluorine may be due to the fact
that the fluorine atom is so small that the incoming electron is affected by comparatively
strong repulsion from the nine electrons already around the nucleus, so diminishing the
overall amount of energy released by the process.
∴ The electron affinity of fluorine < chlorine .
27. Explain that the halogens have the highest electron affinities whereas the alklimetals
have the lowest electron affinities.
* The halogens have the highest electron affinites. This is because, they form
stable anions with noble gas electronic structures , ns2 np6 , by gaining one electron.
The alkalimetals have the lowest electron affinities because they do not bind
their outermost electron very strongly.

SO42– and OH– ions go to the anode.OH– ion is below the SO42– ion in the electrochemical

Same question
(1) The pH of a solution of sodium ethanoate solution would be greater than 7.
Explain this result clearly.
19. Salt of weak acid and weak base
- Ammonium ethanoate, CH3COONH4 is obtained from weak acid,CH3COOH and
weak base, NH4OH.
CH3COONH4 (aq) → N H +4 (aq) + CH3COO–(aq)
(from weak base) (from weak acid)
H2O(l) H+(aq) + OH–(aq)
- N H +4 can react with OH- from water..
- CH3COO– can react with H+ from water.
N H +4 (aq) + H2O(l) NH4OH(aq) + H+(aq)
CH3COO–(aq) + H2O(l) CH3COOH(aq) + OH–(aq)
- This disturbs the ionic equilibrium of water.
- In this particular case both acid and base are equally weak.So the H+ and OH–
concentrations are maintained at about equal concetrations is the solution in spite of
the hydrolysis.
- The solution remains almost neutral.
∴ pH of solution is 7.

on addition of a small amount of strong acid or base.
undissociated NH4OH .
NH+4(aq) + OH–(aq) NH4OH(aq)
- This prevents a change in pH of the solution.
- If a small amount of strong acid is added, H+ ions react with undissociated
base NH4OH to form NH+4 and water.
H+(aq) + NH4OH(aq) NH+4(aq) + H2O(l)
Therefore, change of pH is resisted.
