Electron-dot structures for
Concept introduction:
Electron-dot structure:
This is only way to show the sharing of electrons between atom in polar covalent bonds or covalent bond. This is often called Lewis structure. This structure denotes valence electrons of an atom by dots and also it shows the way of valence electron distributed within a molecule.
(b)
Interpretation:
Electron added to
Concept introduction:
Principle quantum number (n):
The principle quantum number specifies the main energy level which is occupied by an electron.
For example,
Angular momentum quantum number denotes the shape of the orbital of an atom.
The number of shape of the orbital possible is equal to n for definite main energy level. The allowed values are zero to
(c)
Interpretation:
Concept introduction:
Electron affinity:
Electron affinity is amount of energy released when electron is added to an atom. In the periodic table electron affinity increases from left to right and decreases from top to bottom.

Suggest a reason why this ion is not normally found in nature.arrow_forwardWrite the electron configuration for Si7+ ion.arrow_forward
- What is the periodic trend in ionic size for the cations of these alkaline earth elements: Mg2+, Ca2+, Sr2+, Ba2+?arrow_forwardConsider the Mg2+, Cl-, K+, and Se2- ions. The four spheresbelow represent these four ions, scaled according to ionic size.(a) Without referring to Figure 7.8, match each ion to its appropriatesphere. (b) In terms of size, between which of the sphereswould you find the (i) Ca2+ and (ii) S2- ions?arrow_forwardWhich of the following does have the highest ionization energy? ? Z of Mg =12, K =19, Na = 11, Cl = 17arrow_forward
- What is the wavelength of spectral line resulted from the electron transition from n=3 to n=2 in a hydrogen atom.arrow_forwardThe first ionization energy of the oxygen molecule is the energyrequired for the following process:O2(g)---->O2 +(g) + e-The energy needed for this process is 1175 kJ/mol, very similarto the first ionization energy of Xe. Would you expect O2 to reactwith F2? If so, suggest a product or products of this reaction.arrow_forwardDespite the expected decrease in atomic size, there is an un-expected drop in the first ionization energy between Groups2A(2) and 3A(13) in Periods 2 through 4. Explain this pattern interms of electron configurations and orbital energies.arrow_forward
