The periodicity is related to the electronic configuration. That is, all chemical and physical
properties are a manifestation of the electronic configuration of the elements.
The atomic and ionic radii generally decrease in a period from left to right. As a consequence,
the ionization enthalpies generally increase and electron gain enthalpies become more
negative across a period. In other words, the ionization enthalpy of the extreme left element
in a period is the least and the electron gain enthalpy of the element on the extreme right is
the highest negative. This results into high chemical reactivity at the two extremes and the
lowest in the centre. Similarly down the group, the increase in atomic and ionic radii result
in gradual decrease in ionization enthalpies and a regular decrease (with exception in
some third period elements) in electron gain enthalpies in the case of main group elements.
These properties can be related with the:
(i) reducing and behaviour of the elements
(ii) metallic and non – metallic character of element
(iii) acidic, basic, amphoteric and neutral character of the oxides of the elements.
1.29 The correct order of the metallic character is:
(A) B > Al > Mg > K (B) AL> Mg > B > K (C) Mg > Al > K > B (D) K > Mg > Al > B
1.30 Which of the following statements in incorrect ?
(A) In general metallic character increases down the group and decreases across a period.
(B) In general reducing property decreases down the group and increases across a period.
(C) In general, the oxide formed by the element on extreme right of the periodic table is the
most acidic.
(D) Chemical r neactivity of non-metals in terms of oxidising power increases from nitrogen
to flourine across the period.
1.31 Among Al2O3, SiO2, P2O3 and SO2 the correct order or acid strength is :
(A) Al2O3 < SiO2, < SO2 < P2O3 (B) SiO2 < SO2 <\ Al2O3 < P2O3
(C) SO2 < P2O3 < SiO2 < Al2O3 (D) Al2O3 < SiO2, < P2O3 < SO2\
Comprehension # 2
It is not possible to measure the atomic radius precisely since the electron cloud surrounding
the atom does not have a sharp boundary. One practical approach to estimate the size of
an atom of a non-metallic element is to measure the distance between two atoms when they
are bound together by a single bond in a covalent molecule and then dividing by two. For
metals we define the term “metallic radius” which is taken as half the internucleur distance
separating the metal cores in the metallic crystal. The van der waal’s radius represents the
Resonance RRBC910PAGE - 5

(A Unit of Resonance Eduventures Pvt. Ldt.)
over all size of the atoms which includes its valence shell in a non bonded situation. It is the
half of the distance between two similar atoms in separate molecules in a solid. The atomic
radius decreases across a period and increases down the group. Generally same trends
are observed in case of ionic radius. Ionic radius of the species having same number of
electrons depends on the number of protons in their nuclei.
1.32 The size of isoelectronic species – F-, Na+ and Mg2+ is effected by :
(A) nuclear charge
(B) valence principal quantum number (n)
(C) electron – electron interaction in the outer orbitals
(D) atomic mass
1.33 Atomic radii of the noble gases are larger than the precedent elements of the same periods
because:
(A) Atomic radii of the noble gases is expressed as van der Waal’s radius
(B) Valence shell electrons are completely filled so there is intereletronic repulsions.
(C) Both (A) and (B)
(D) None
1.34 Which of the following statements is correct?
(A) Metallic radius refer to metals only and is greater than covalent radius
(B) Metallic radius refer to metals only and is smaller than covalent radius
(C) Generally covalent radius refer to non –metals as well as metals in bonded state
(Covalent bond).
(D) Atomic radii of noble gases are expressed as van der Waal’s radii which are smaller
than metallic radii.

The amount of energy required to remove the most loosely bound electron from an isolated
gaseous atom is called as first ionization energy (IE1). Similarly the amount of energies

(A Unit of Resonance Eduventures Pvt. Ldt.)
required to knock out second, third etc. electrons from the isolated gasesous cation are
called successive ionization energies and IE3 > IE2 > IE1.
(i) Nuclear charge (ii) atomic size (iii) penetration effect of the electrons (iv) shielding effect
of the inner extra stable) affect the ionisation energies.
On the other hand, the amount of energy released when a neutral isolated gaseous atom
accepts an extra electron to form gaseous anion is called electron affinity.

In (ii) the energy has to be supplied for the addition of second electron due to electrostatic
repulsion between an anion and extra electron (same charged species). The electron affinity
of an element depends upon (i) atomic size (ii) nuclear charge & (iii) electronic configuration.
In general, ionisation energy and electron affinity increases as the atomic radii decreases
and nuclear charge increases across a period. In general, in a group, ionisation energy and
electron affinity decreases as the atomic size increases.
The members of third period of have some higher (e.g. S and Cl) electron affinity values
than the members of the second period (e.g. O and F) because second period elements
have very small atomic size. Hence there is a tendency of electron-electron repulsion,
which results in less evolution of energy in the formation of corresponding anion.
1.38 The first ionisation energies of Na, Mg, Al and Si are in the order of :
(A) Na < Mg > Al < Si (B) Na > Mg > Al > Si (C) Na < Mg < Al < Si (D) Na > Mg > Al < Si
1.41 Considering the elements F, Cl, O and N, the correct order of their electron affinity is :
(A) F> Cl > O > S (B) F > O > Cl > S (C) Cl > F > S > O (D) O > F > S > Cl

The main group elements complete their electron configuration using s and p electrons in
the periodic table. These elements range from the most metallic to the most non-metallic,
with intermediate properties, the semi-metals, in between. The elements which occur at the
two extremes of the periodic table are highly reactive and therefore, these highly reactive
elements do not occur in free state ; they usually occur in the combined forms.
