Electronegativity and factors affecting electronegativity

Electronegativity
The tendency of  an atom to attract shared pair of electron towards it side is called electronegativity.

Variation of Electronegativity in group: 
Electronegativity decrease from top to buttom in a group because as atomic size increase tendency to attract shared pair of electron decrease.


Variation of Electronegativity in periods: 
Electronegativity increase from left to right in a period because as  effective nuclear charge increase tendency  to attract shared pair of electron increase.

Factors affecting electronegativity: 

1.Oxidation state:
 more is the oxidation state ,more is the attraction for electron,  hence more will be the electronegativity. so pb^+4 is more electronegativity than pb^+2.

2 .Hyberdistaion:
Hyberdistation also affect electronegativity.
sp^3  25℅ s character
sp^2  33.3℅ s character
sp     50℅ s character

s orbital are more penetrating (s>p>d>f)  so hybrid orbital with greater s character will be more electronegativity. so sp carbon atom is more electronegativity than sp^2 and sp^3 hybridisation of carbon atom.

4.Positive charge: 
an atom with positive charge will attract electron more readily than a neutral atom .so positive charge atom are more electronegativity than neutral atom.

5.Bond order:
more is the bond order,  more will be the electronegativity.

eg. carbon of alkyne is more electronegativity than carbon atom of alkene.

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
