Chapter 8, Problem 8.43QP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

In the given set of species which will be smaller in size has to be identified.

Concept Introduction:

  • The distance between the nucleus and the valence shell of a cation or an anion is known as ionic radius.  An ion is formed by either loss or gain of electrons from its valence shell.
  • As we move down the group in periodic table the ionic radius increases as the electrons are added to new subshell.  As we move across the period the ionic radius increases as the electrons are added to the same subshell.
  • An anion is formed when an electron is added to the valence shell of an atom.  The anion has a net negative charge in it.  In anion the extra electron added occupies more space and maximizes the shielding.
  • Anions will have larger size compared to cations.
  • The reduction in the effective nuclear charge on the electron cloud, due to a difference in the attraction forces of the electrons in the nucleus is known as shielding effect
  • When the proton number is greater than the electron, the size of the ion will be smaller due to less shielding. When the proton number is lesser than the electron, the size of the ion will be larger due to more shielding.
  • A cation is formed when an electron is lost by an atom from its valence shell.  The cation has a net positive charge.  In cation the shielding decreases as the electron is removed from the valence shell.
  • If the total number of electrons is less than the total number of protons in the ion, then the protons present can effectively attract the valence shell decreasing the size of the ion and vice-versa.
  • The trend in periodic table can be described as well.  As we move down the group the ionic radius decreases as the electrons are added to a new shell.  But as we move across a period in periodic table the ionic radius increases as the electrons are added to the same subshell.

Answer to Problem 8.43QP

In (a) Cl will be smaller in the given set of species

Explanation of Solution

The number of electrons and protons in the given set of species (a) is,

SpeciesTotal number of ElectronsTotal number of Protons
Cl1717
Cl-1817

The total number of electrons and protons present for the given species are found out and presented in the above table.  From this we can see that total number of protons in all the given species is same, but the total numbers of electrons are different.

Cl have smaller size than Cl- because,

By comparing the total number of protons and electrons in the table given in the previous step and as comparing to the size of atom size of anion is larger. And also here the proton number is lesser than the electron in Cl- so the size of the ion will be larger due to more shielding

Answer to Problem 8.43QP

In (b) Na+ will be smaller in the given set of species

Explanation of Solution

The number of electrons and protons in the given set of species (b)

SpeciesTotal number of ElectronsTotal number of Protons
Na1111
Na+1011

The total number of electrons and protons present for the given species are found out and presented in the above table.  From this we can see that total numbers of protons in all the given species are same, but the total numbers of electrons are different.

Na+ have smaller size than Na, because

By comparing the total number of protons and electrons in the table given in the previous step it is clear that the number of proton is greater than the electron in Na+ so the size of ion will be smaller due to less shielding. Therefore Na+ have smaller size than Na.

Answer to Problem 8.43QP

In (c) O2- will be smaller in the given set of species

Explanation of Solution

The number of electrons and protons in the given set of species (c)

SpeciesTotal number of ElectronsTotal number of Protons
O2-810
S2-1618

The total number of electrons and protons present for the given species are found out and presented in the above table.

O2- Will be smaller compared to S2-

The given two species belong to group “6A” of periodic table.  The oxygen atom comes before the sulphur atom when we move down the periodic table.  As discussed above, when we move down the group the ionic radius increases because the electrons are added to a new subshell.  Hence, O2- will be smaller compared to S2-

Answer to Problem 8.43QP

In (d) Al3+ will be smaller in the given set of species

Explanation of Solution

The number of electrons and protons in the given set of species (d)

SpeciesTotal number of ElectronsTotal number of Protons
Mg2+1012
Al3+1013

The total number of electrons and protons present for the given species are found out and presented in the above table.  From this we can see that total number of electrons in all the given ions is same, but the total numbers of protons are different.

Al3+ have smaller size than Mg2+ because,

The number of proton in Al3+ is greater than the number of protons in the Mg2+. When the proton number is greater than the electron, the size of the ion will be smaller due to less shielding. Therefore Al3+ have small size than Mg2+.
