chemistry classification of elements- the periodic table periodic trends in physical properties properties and trend trends in periodic table electronic configuration and valency electron configuration

  1. $EN=\displaystyle\frac{IE\times EA}{2}$

  2. $EN=IE+EA$

  3. $2EN=IE-EA$

  4. $EN=\displaystyle\frac{IE+EA}{2}$

  5. $EN=\displaystyle\frac{IE-EA}{2}$

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The correct relationship is $EN = \dfrac {IE+EA}{2}$
According to mulliken's scale, the electronegatiity is the average value of ionization potential and electron affinity of an atom.

An element $X$ has $IP = 1681$ kJ/mole and $EA =-333$ kJ/mole then its electronegativity is:

chemistry classification of elements- the periodic table periodic trends in physical properties properties and trend trends in periodic table electronic configuration and valency electron configuration

  1. $(1681 + 333) / 544$

  2. $(1681 - 333 )/ 544$

  3. $(1681 + (-333)) / 2$

  4. $\dfrac{208\sqrt{1681+333}}{544}$

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Robert S. Mulliken proposed that the arithmetic mean of the first ionization energy ($E i$) and the electron affinity ($E _{ea}$) should be a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract electrons. As this definition is not dependent on an arbitrary relative scale, it has also been termed absolute electronegativity, with the units of kilojoules per mole or electron volts.

  1. 4.6, 2.95, 4.95, 8.05

  2. 4.95, 2.05, 4.6, 8.05

  3. 4.6, 2.95, 5.3, 12.75

  4. none of these

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Cr ${ 1s }^{ 2 }\quad { 2s }^{ 2 }\quad { 2p }^{ 6 }\quad { 3s }^{ 2 }\quad { 3p }^{ 6 }\quad { 3d }^{ 5 }\quad { 4s }^{ 1 }$

${ 24 }^{ - }$
Using later's rule:
for $3de^{ - }\quad { Z } _{ eff }=24-(4\times 0.35)-(18\times 1)=4.6$
for $4se^{ - }\quad { Z } _{ eff }=24-(0\times 0.35)-(13\times 0.85)-(10\times 1)=2.95$
$Cr^{ 3+ }\quad ({ 1s }^{ 2 }\quad { 2s }^{ 2 }\quad { 2p }^{ 6 }\quad { 3s }^{ 2 }\quad { 3p }^{ 6 }\quad { 3d }^{ 3 })$
for $3de^{ - }\quad { Z } _{ eff }=24-(2\times 0.85)-18=5.3$
for $3se^{ - }\quad { Z } _{ eff }=24-(7\times 0.35)-(8\times 0.85)-(2\times 1)=12.75$

chemistry periodicity periodic trends in physical properties properties and trend trends in periodic table electronic configuration and valency electron configuration

  1. 2

  2. 1.7

  3. 1.85

  4. 1.65

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:
The effective nuclear charge experienced by a 1s electron in helium is +1.70.

The effective nuclear charge $Z _{eff}$ is the net positive charge experienced by an electron in a multi-electron atom.

A given electron does not experience a full nuclear charge because the other electrons are sometimes between it and the nucleus and shield it from the nucleus.

The formula for effective nuclear charge is-

$Z _{eff}=Z-S$

where, 
Z is the number of protons in the nucleus, and S is the shielding constant, the average number of electrons between the nucleus and the electron in question.
The American physicist John Slater derived a number of rules to determine the shielding constant.

He found that for electrons in a 1s orbital, the second electron shields the first by 0.30 units.

$Z _{eff}=Z-S=2- 0.30-1.70$

Hence, the correct option is B.
