Electron affinity & variation with group and periods

Electron affinity:

electron affinity may be defined as amount of energy released  when an electron is added to neutral gaseous atom to form gaseous anion.

X(g)  + 1e^- → X(g) ^-

Variation of electron affinity in group:
Electron afinity is decrease from top to buttom in a group. because as atmic size increase attraction for extra electron decrease.

Variation of electron affinity in periods: Electron affinity is increase from left to right in a periods. because as effective nuclear charge increase attraction for extra electron increase.

# electron affinity first  is always +ve.
# successive electron affinity  is always -ve.

O + 1e^- →O^-
neutral & - ve charge molecule no large amount of energy require and both when mix it defuse .so electron affinity of first is always +ve.

O^- + 1e^- →O^2-
-ve & -ve charge molecule greater repulsion between than so more energy require to mix together each other so E. A of successive is always -ve.

Question 1

 Successive electron affinity has -ve value?
ans

O + 1e^- →O^-
neutral & - ve charge molecule no large amount of energy require and both when mix it defuse .so electron affinity of first is always +ve.

O^- + 1e^- →O^2-
-ve & -ve charge molecule greater repulsion between than so more energy require to mix together each other so E. A of successive is always -ve.

Radial probability distribution for p and d orbital, radial wave functions

Radial probability distribution for p and d orbital Radial and Angular wave function:  the radial part of wave function depends upon quantum no.  n and  l  and gives the distribution of electron w. r. t distance .it is governed mainly exponential term     e^-Zr/na°(a not)   here  e   based on natural log.  Z   Atomic number r     distance from nucleus  n    principal quantum no. or radial quantum           no.  a°    0.529A° for hydrogen  ( Bohr radii)  the exact mathematical expression for radial part of wave function for 1s or 2s and 2p orbitals. n= 1 ,l=0 s orbital    R(r) =2× (z/a°) ^3/2 ×(2-zr/a°) ×e^-zr/2a° n= 2 ,l=0 2s orbital    R(r) = (z/a°) ^3/2 ×(2-zr/a°) ×e^-zr/2a° n= 2 ,l=1 2p orbital    R(r) = 1√3×(z/2a°) ^3/2 ×(zr/a°) ×e^-zr/2a ° the radial wave function can be represented by plotting radial function R(r)  apart distance(r)

Physical significance of sie and sie^2

Physical significance of sie and sie^2  The wave function sie has no physical significance,  it simply represents amplitude of wave   while square of amplitude sie^2 represent intensity of electron.  i. e sie ^2 gives probability of finding the electron in space .p the space is called atomic orbital  A zero value of sie^2 means probability of finding the electron is zero and high value of sie^2 means greater chances of finding the electron .  the value of sie^2 lies between 0&1. if sie^2 =1   100℅  sie^2=0    0℅

Linear combination of atomic orbital, Molecular orbital theory, Difference between bonding & anti bonding moleculer orbital.

Linea combination of atomic orbital  molecular orbital are formed by combination of atomic orbital  if ꌏ(A)  andꌏ(B)  are the wave function of atomic orbital of two combining atomic A and B  then according  to Linea combination of atomic orbital, these two wave function can be added or can be substracted .that means there are two modes of interaction (symmetric and antisymmetric)  We know ꌏ(s)  = ꌏ(A) +ꌏ(B)  ꌏ(a) = ꌏ(A)- ꌏ(B) ꌏ(s)  and ꌏ(a)  represent wave function of bonding and antibonding moleculer orbital. the formation of moleculer orbital ꌏ(s)  and ꌏ(a)  from two atomic orbital ꌏ(A) and ꌏ(B)  is represented as Molecular orbital theory (MO)  theory: main points of mo theory are: 1.whwn atomic orbital combine they formed molecular orbital. 2.Number of molecular orbital formed is equal to number of atomic orbital combine. 3.atomic orbital are uninuclear  while molecular orbital  are polynuclear. 4.The various molecular orbital are arranged in order of in increas
