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 curves

Radial probhjjhajajbability distribution curves:  The probability of finding the electron is given by the quantity  sie^2.By radial probability us probability of finding the electron within small Radial space around the nucleus. volume of spherical shell between radius r and r+dr =4πr^2 and probability of finding the electron will be 4πr^2dr sie^2. radial probability distribution curves are obtained by plotting radial probability at various distance from the nucleus . 1.Radial probability distribution curves for S orbital n=1, l= 0. distance from nucleus here A° is called angstrom. the probability of finding of electron in a shell is maximum at distance r=r° (r not)  which is 0.529 A° for H atom. diagram shows that probability plot for 2s has(two region of high probability)  or (two peaks)  separated by node. we conclude that  no.  of high probability region in S orbital = n no.  of node = ( n-1)

Electronegativity scales and disadvantage of scales and its nunericals

Electronegativity scales: 1.Pauling scale of electronegativity: in diatomic molecule (A-B) ,the bond formed between two atoms A and  B will be intermediate between  pure Covalent (A-B)  and pure ionic character,  the bond between A and B will be  strong than bond energy increased. if bond (A-B) has been purily covalent than bond energy can be calculated as average bond energy of bond (A-A)  and bond (B-B).     that means it is equal to bond energy of bond (A-B) E(A-B)  = 1/2[ E(A-A) +E(B-B) ] however experiemental value of bond (A-B)  more than this value  because of difference in electronegativity  of A and B the difference ∆ is given by simple expression ∆ = E(A-B) - 1/2 [E(A-A) +E(B-B) ] where E(A-B)  is experimental value of bond energy. if Ҳ(A)  and  Ҳ(B) are the electronegative of elements A and B than Ҳ(A) - Ҳ(B) = 0.18√∆ for numerical ∆ = E(A-B)  -[√(E(A-A) ×E(B-B) )] Disadvan...
