Concept introduction:
The pictorial representation of formation of ionic solids from its constituent elements is known as Born-Haber cycle. Following are the steps required to draw Born-Haber cycle of any ionic compound:
Step 1: Solid metal is converted into gaseous isolated atoms. It takes place by process called sublimation.
Step 2: Gaseous molecules are broken down into separate atoms. Energy is supplied to break molecules apart and this is called
Step 3: Isolated metal atoms are converted into respective cations with the help of ionization energy.
Step 4: Anions are formed from gaseous atoms with the help of
Step 5: Ionic compound is formed by the combination of cation and anion. Energy is released in this process.

- Of the five elements Sn, Si, Sb, O, Te, which has the most endothermic reaction? (E represents an atom.) What name is given to the energy for the reaction? E(g)E+(g)+earrow_forwardCompare the electron affinity of fluorine to the ionization energy of sodium. Does the process of an electron being pulled from the sodium atom to the fluorine atom have a negative or a positive E? Why is NaF a stable compound? Does the overall formation of NaF have a negative or a positive E? How can this be?arrow_forwardUsing a Born-Haber cycle, calculate the enthalpy of formation of calcium fluoride, CaF2(s), given the following data: Ca(s) → Ca(g), +183 kJ/mol Ca(g) → Ca+(g) + e-, +595 kJ/mol Ca+(g) →Ca2+(g) + e-, +1,119kJ/mol F2(g) → 2F(g), +163 kJ/mol F(g) + e- → F-(g), -330 kJ/mol Ca2+(g) + 2F-(g) → CaF2(s), -2,685 kJ/molarrow_forward
- How much energy does an electron need to absorb in order to go from n=1 to n=5? (k=2.179*10-18J)arrow_forwardOf the five elements Sn, Si, Sb, O, Te, which has the most endothermic reaction? (E represents an atom.) What name is given to the energy for the reaction? E(g) ⟶ E+(g) + e−arrow_forwardUsing the following data, draw the Born Haber cycle for the formation of hypothetical compound of MX(s) from its elements. Using the Born Haber cycle, calculate the electron affinity of X.

- Fluoride ion, F, has no unpaired electrons. Vanadium forms four binary fluoridesVF2, VF3, VF4, and VF5. Assume that all four are ionic compounds. (a) Which fluoride is diamagnetic? (b) Which fluoride has the greatest attraction to a magnetic field? (c) Which fluoride has two unpaired electrons per vanadium?arrow_forwardPlease, give simple words explenation. Additional examples very helpful. Please, write the answer clear or typed. Thank you Ionic radii Why is there an overall contraction in ionic radii? Why is radius of Ti^ 2+ less than theoretical value? Why is the radius of Cr^ 2+ larger than that of V^ 2+.arrow_forwardThe following equations represent the chemical process to determine electron affinity of atoms. Identify the process expected to be the most exothermic (that releases the most energy). (A) F(g) + e– --> F– (g); (B) Cl(g) + e– --> Cl–(g); (C) Br(g) + e– --> Br–(g) ; (D) I(g) + e– --> I–(g);arrow_forward
- Compared to their neutral atom counterparts, ions will have smaller or larger atomic radii due to their losing or gaining electrons. According to Jensen (2010), Linus Pauling assigned the radius of the oxygen anion (O“) at 140 pm (larger than the neutral atom, 66 pm). On the other hand, the magnesium atom loses 95 ppm from its 160 ppm radius when it loses two valence electrons, forming the magnesium ion. Determine the value of constant B wen constant n is approcimately 8. Unit is in N-m9arrow_forwardIs there energy level for the hydrogen atom equal to -8.72x10^-20J? (RH=2.179x10^-18J)arrow_forwardEqual masses of lead, copper, iron, and aluminum absorb 100 J of heat. Which metal will undergo the largest increase in temperature? a) lead (specific heat: 0.160 J/g°C) b) copper (0.385 J/g°C) c) iron (0.473 J/g°C) d) aluminum (specific heat: 0.900 J/g°C) Which one of the following is associated with the emission of light from an atom? a) an electron being removed from an atom to form a positively charged ion b) an electron dropping from a higher energy state to a lower energy state c) an electron rising from a lower energy state to a higher energy state d) an electron entering an orbital that already contains another electronarrow_forward
