Question 21. The electron affinity values for the halogens show the following trend:
  1.    F < Cl > Br > I
  2.    F < Cl < Br < I
  3.    F > Cl > Br > I
  4.    F < Cl > Br < I
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> F < Cl > Br > I
:
A
In a group of non-metals, electrongain enthalpy of the 2nd element is maximum. Among halogens, chlorine has the highest election affinity.
We would expect fluorine would have the highest electron affinity because of being a halogen and very small size, but its so small that it leads to interelectronic repulsions and the overall energy released when an electron is added is reduced.
Question 22. Which of the following configurations will have the least electron affinity?
  1.    ns2 np5
  2.    ns2 np2
  3.    ns2 np3
  4.    ns2 np4
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> ns2 np3
:
C
Elements with either half-filled or completely filled sub shells have astable electronic configuration. The elements with stable configurations have less electron affinity or electron gain enthalpy.
ns2np3 15th group (V A group) has half filled p-subshell.
Question 23. Which of the following is wrong?
  1.    Acidic character: NH3
  2.    Ionization enthalpy: Li
  3.    Basic character: Al2O3
  4.    Ionic radius: Li+
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Ionization enthalpy: Li
:
B
Beryllium has more ionization enthalpy than boron as it has a completely filled 's' orbital.
Be -
1s22s2
B - 1s22s22p1
Question 24. The ionization energy of F is 320 kJ/mole. The electron gain enthalpy of fluorine would be?
  1.    -320 kJ/mole
  2.    -160 kJ/mole
  3.    320 kJ/mole
  4.    160 kJ/mole
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> -320 kJ/mole
:
A
Ionization enthalpy is exactly opposite to electron gain enthalpy in this case. If you are talking about ionization enthalpy of F and electron gain enthalpy of F, then we can't say the same thing.
F F + e ΔH=320kJ/mole(I.E)
F+e F ΔH=320kJ/mole(I.E)
Question 25. The cause of periodicity of properties is:
  1.    Increasing atomic radius
  2.    Increasing atomic weights
  3.    Number of electrons in the valency orbit
  4.    The recurrence of similar outer electronic configuration
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> The recurrence of similar outer electronic configuration
:
D
The recurrence of similar outer electronic configuration is the reason for the periodicity of properties.
Although Mendeleev discovered that properties were periodic and created a table enlisting the elements, he didn't know the reason behind this occurrence.
Question 26. The bond dissociation energy of H - H, C - C, and C - H bonds respectively are 104.2, 83.1 and 98.8 kcal/ mole. The electronegativity of C is?
  1.    2.53
  2.    2.51
  3.    2.50
  4.    2.52
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 2.53
:
A
= ECH - EHH×ECC
= 98.8 - [(104.2)×(83.1)]12 = 5.75 kcal.
(XCH) E.N of C-H bond = 0.218 = 0.218 (5.75)12
= 0.43
XC = 0.43 +XH = 0.43 + 2.1 = 2.53
Question 27. The elements of groups,1, 2, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17 are collectively called
  1.    Noble gases
  2.    Representative or normal elements
  3.    Transition elements
  4.    Inner transition elements
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Representative or normal elements
:
B
In the modern periodic table,elements are classified into representative elements, transition elements, inner transition, inner gases based on electronic configuration.
When the group numberof the elements represents the number of valence electrons they arecalledrepresentative elements.
Group - 1 (1A) - 1 valence electrons
2 (IIA) - 2 valence electrons
3 (IIIA) - 3 valence electrons
4 (IVA) - 4 valence electrons
15 (VA) - 5 valence electrons
16 (VIA) - 6 valance electrons
17 (VIIA) - 7 valence electrons
Question 28. The correct order regarding the electronegativity of hybrid orbitals of carbon is?
  1.    sp < sp2 < sp3
  2.    sp < sp2 > sp3
  3.    sp > sp2 > sp3
  4.    sp > sp2 < sp3
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> sp > sp2 > sp3
:
C
With the increase in % of s-character in hybrid orbitals the electronegativity of the hybrid orbitals increases.
sp - 50% s character,
sp2- 33.3 % s character

sp3 - 25% s character.
Question 29. In which block of the modern periodic table the metals, non-metals and metalloids are present all together?
  1.    s-block
  2.    p-block
  3.    d-block
  4.    f-block
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> p-block
:
B
All the three different types of elements; metals, non-metals and metalloids are present all together in the p-block of the modern periodic table.
In Which Block Of The Modern Periodic Table The Metals, Non-...
Question 30. In which of the following processes is energy liberated?
  1.    Cl = Cl+ + e−
  2.    HCl =H+ + Cl−
  3.    Cl + e−= Cl−
  4.    O− + e− = O−2
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Cl + e−= Cl−
:
C
Generally, to determine whether energy is released or absorbed when an electron is added to a neutral gaseous atom, you need to look at the stability of the species.
If we add an electron to Cl atom, energy will be released because Cl is more stable than Cl atom.
If we add an electron to N atom, energy will be absorbed because N is more stable than N
In the case of anions, energy is always absorbed when an electron is added.
So, if an electron is added to O ion a lot of energy is needed to make itO2
