Q.1 Define the followings:

a) Doberneir’s rule of triad
b) Periodicity
c) Modern periodic law
d) Electronegativity

Answer:
a) Doberneir’s rule of triad:
It states that central atom of each set of triad had an atomic mass almost equal to the arithmetical mean of the atomic masses of other two elements.
For example, Lithium 7, Sodium 23, and Potassium 39 are the group of triad. The average atomic mass of this triad is 23.
b) Periodicity:
The repetition of chemical and physical properties at regular intervals in the periodic table according to their atomic number is called periodicity.
c) Modern periodic law:
It states that the physical and chemical properties of all elements are periodic functions of their atomic numbers. In periodic table, elements are arranged in order of their increasing atomic number.
d) Electronegativity:
Electronegativity is the relative tendency of an atom in a molecule to attract shared pair of electrons to itself. For example, in case of HCl, Cl is more electronegative than hydrogen then it will attract shared pair electrons more to itself.

Q.2) If an element contains two shells only and its outershell contains five electrons then to which group the element belongs in the periodic table. Name the element. Predict its period. 

Answer:
Data:
No. of shells = 2
Valence shell electrons = 5
Solution:
Electronic configuration of element = 1s², 2s², 2p³
Valence shell has configuration = 2s², 2p³
Period number = 2
Group number = 2 + 3 = 5
Total number of electrons in both shells = 7
Thus this element is nitrogen (N) with atomic number 7. It belongs to 2nd period and 5th group of the periodic table.

Q.3) State Mendeleev’s periodic law. Describe Mendeleev’s periodic table. Write down the advantages and disadvantages of Mendeleev’s periodic table. 

Answer:
Mendeleev’s periodic Law:
It states that “the physical and chemical properties of elements are the periodic function of their atomic masses”.
Mendeleev’s Periodic table:
He classified elements in 1869. His periodic table was based on the increasing order of atomic masses of elements. He divided periodic table into eight vertical columns called groups and horizontal rows called periods. He also left spaces for the unknown elements with atomic masses.
Advantages of Mendeleev’s periodic table:
i) There was a regular gradation in physical and chemical properties of elements.
ii) The group number of an element indicates highest oxidation state that it can attain.
iii) There were many vacant spaces in Mendeleev’s periodic table for the elements to be discovered. He named them Eka-Boron, Eka-Aluminium and Eka-silicone He also predicted the properties of these undiscovered elements including atomic masses. These elements were discovered as Sc, Ga and Ge with same features as he predicted.
iv) Mendeleev’s arrangement helped to correct atomic masses of a number of elements.
Disadvantages of Mendeleeve’s periodic table:
i) There are three pairs of elements i.e. elements of higher atomic masses placed before elements of lower atomic masses i.e.
a) Argon (40) placed before potassium (39)
b) Cobalt (59.9) placed before nickle (58.6)
c) Tellurium (127.6) placed before iodine (126.9)
2) No place for isotopes of elements.
3) Dissimilar elements placed in same group i.e. Alkali metals (Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, Fr) were placed with coinage metals (Ag, Cu, Au).
4) Similar elements placed in different groups for example Barium (Ba) and lead (Pb) resemble in many properties but they are placed in separate groups.
5) It failed to give the idea of atomic structure.

How does the modern periodic law differ from Mendeleev’s periodic law? Explain clearly groups and periods in the modern periodic table. 

Answer:

Periods
A period is a horizontal row in the periodic table. There are seven periods in the periodic table. Elements in the same period show trends in atomic radius, ionization energy, electron affinity, and electronegativity.
Moving left to right across a period, atomic radius usually decreases. This occurs because each successive element has an addition of electrons, which causes the electron to be much closer to the nucleus.
This decrease in atomic radius also causes the ionization energy to increase when moving from left to right across a period. The more tightly bounded element required more energy to remove an electron.
Electronegativity increases in the same manner as ionization energy because of the attraction exerted on the electrons by the nucleus.
Electron affinity also increases. Metals generally have a lower electron affinity than nonmetals.
Groups
A group is a vertical column in the periodic table. Groups usually have more significant periodic trends than periods. Elements within the same group generally have the same electron configurations in their valence shell.
The groups are numbered numerically from 1 to 18 from the leftmost column (the alkali metals) to the rightmost column (the noble gases).
Elements in the same group show patterns in atomic radius, ionization energy, and electronegativity. From top to bottom in a group, the atomic radii of the elements increase. Since there are more shells, valence electrons are found farther from the nucleus.
From the top, each successive element has low ionization energy because it is easier to remove an electron since the atoms are less tightly bound.
Similarly, in a group from top to bottom decrease in electronegativity due to an increasing distance between valence electrons and nucleus.

What do you understand by the periodic classification of elements? What are the merits and demerits of the classification of the elements in the periodic tabular form? 

Answer:
According to the periodic law, properties of the elements are the periodic function of their atomic numbers. Elements with the same properties repeat at regular intervals so that the elements having similar properties have been placed in the same groups. They come one above the other in the periodic table.
Merits:
i) The classification of elements is based on the atomic number, which is more fundamental property.
ii) The reason for placing isotopes at one place is justified as the classification is based on atomic number.
iii) It explains the periodicity of the properties of the elements and relates them to their electronic configurations.
iv) The position of the elements that were misfit on the basis of mass number (like argon and potassium) could be justified on the basis of atomic number.
v) The lanthanides and actinides are placed separately at the bottom of the periodic table.
vi) The table is simple, systematic and easy for remembering the properties of various elements as it is based on the electronic configuration.
Demerits:
i) Hydrogen resembles both the alkali metals and halogens. But it has been placed with the alkalis.
ii) The lanthanides and actinides have not been placed in the main body of the table.

Q.11) What do you understand by representative and transition elements? 

Answer:
Representative elements:
Groups are divided into sub-groups A and B. Elements with similar valence shell configuration are placed in the same group in the periodic table. Group A elements are called normal or representative elements. They are also called main group elements. These elements include both metals and non-metals. Their outermost s or p orbitals are partially filled.
Transition elements:
The group B elements are called transition elements because their properties show gradual change or transition between the two sets of representative elements. Transition elements are metals and they form colored compounds. They have similar valence shell configuration. They have high densities and high melting and boiling points.

Q.12) Discuss the following physical properties of the elements.

a) Ionization energy
b) Electron affinity
c) Electronegativity
d) Atomic Radii

Answer:
a) Ionization Energy:
The ionization energy is the energy required to completely remove an electron from a gaseous atom or ion. The closer and more tightly bound an electron is to the nucleus, the more difficult it will be to remove, and the higher its ionization energy will be.
Trend of ionization energy along the groups
Ionization energy decreases moving down a group. This is because the shielding effect in atoms increases from top to bottom. Greater shielding effects results in a weaker attraction of the nucleus for the valence electrons. So, they are easier to remove. This leads to decrease in ionization energy from top to bottom in a group.
Trend of ionization energy along the periods
As we move from left to right in a period, the shielding effect remains constant. But progressively nuclear charge increases. A stronger force of attraction between nucleus and the valence electron increases. This leads to an increase in ionization energy from left to right in a period.
b) Electron Affinity
Electron affinity is the energy required when an electron is added to a gaseous atom. Atoms with stronger effective nuclear charge have greater electron affinity.
Trends of electron affinity in a period
In a period, the electron affinity increases from left to right because successive atoms have higher nuclear charge and attract the incoming electron more towards itself.
Trends of electron affinity in a group
Down a group in the periodic table, electron affinity decreases because the addition of a new shell to each atom decreases its force of attraction.
c) Electronegativity:
Electronegativity is the tendency of an atom in a molecule to attract shared pair of electrons to itself.
Trends of electronegativity in a period
In a period from left to right, it increases due to increase in nuclear charge.
Trends of electronegativity in a group
Down a group electronegativity decreases as due to addition of new shell, the power of a nucleus to attract electron decreases.
d) Atomic Radius
The atomic size or atomic radius is the distance from the center of the nucleus to the outer most shell of electrons in the atom of any element.
Trend of Atomic radii in a period:
The atomic radii decrease while going from left to right in a period because the number of electrons increases in the same shell. This shows the strong attraction of nucleus on the outermost electrons toward itself causes the decrease in size.
Trend of Atomic radii in a group:
The atomic radii increase in moving from top to bottom in a group. This is because the addition of electron takes place in the new energy shell. The nuclear charge does not hold its influence on the increased size of an atom.
