The second ionisation energies are higher than the first ionisation energies. This is mainly
due to the fact that after the removal of the first electron, the atom changes into monovalent
positive ion. In the ion, the number of electrons decreases but the nuclear charge remains the
same. As a result of thls, the remaining electrons nre held more tightly by the nucleus and it
becomes difficult to remove the second electron. Therefore , the value of second ionisation

The phenomenon in which penultimate shell electrons act as screen or shield in between
nucleus and valence shell electrons and thereby reducing nuclear charge is known as
shielding effect. The penultimate shell electrons repel the valence shell electron to keep them

, J.C. Slater proposed an empirical constant that represents the cumulative extent to which the
other electrons of an atom shield (or screen) any particular electron from the nuclear charge.
Thus, Slater's screening constant er is used as: Z* =Z -cr ·
Here, z is the atomic number of the atom, and hence is equal to the actual number of protons
· in the atom. The parameter Z * is the effective nuclear charge, .which according to is smaller
than z, since the electron in question is screened (shielded) from Z by an amount a. we found
that in cases for which screening is small, the effective nuclear charge z * is large. Convers~
an electron that is well shielded from the nuclear charge Z experiences a small effective
nuclear charge Z *.
The value of er for any one electro~ in a gi~en e~ectron configuration (i.e. , in the presence of
the other electrons of the _atom m quesuon) is calculated using a set of empirical rules
developed by Slater. According to these rules, the value of cr for the electron in question is the
c:,um.ula.tive total provided by vaJ:ious other electrQns of the atom.

Ionic bond is defined as the electrostatic force of attraction holding the oppositely charged
ions. Ionic compounds are mostly crystalline solid having high melting and boiling points,
electrical conductivity in molten state, solubility in water etc. Covalent bond is defined as the
force which binds atoms of same or different elements by mutual sharing of electrons in a
covalent bond. Covalent compounds are solids, liquids or gases. They have low melting and
boiling points compounds. They are more soluble in non-polar solvents.

In the unhybridized state of carbon, 2 p orbitals are 90° to one another and each one will overlap with ls
orbital of three hydrogen atoms, thus three C-H bonds are formed which are 90° to one another. For
the fourth hydrogen atom, itS ls orbital may overlap with non-directional 2s orbital of the carbon and
this a-bond will be stronger than aC-H bonds formed by 2p-ls overlap. In such situation CH 4
molecule can never has tetrahedral geometry.

29. (c) Correct order of Lewis acidic character : PF5 > SiF4 > SF6 • Although, S has vaccant 3d-orbitals but it
cannot accept co-ordinate bond from Lewis base due to steric crowding factor as S-atom is already

The· concept of redistribution of energy in different orbitals of an atom associated with
different energies to give new orbitals of equal (or sometimes it may be non-equal) energy
oriented in space in definite directions is called hybridisation and formed new orbitals are
called hybrid orbitals. The bonds formed by such orbit,als are called.hybrid bonds. The process
of mixing of orbitals itself requires some energy. Thus, some additional energy, is needed for
the hybri~tion (mixing) of atomic orbitals. ·

Complex compounds are molec~lar compounds which retain thei_r identit_ies even w~en
dissolved in water. They do not give all the simple ions in solunon but mstead furnish
complex ions. The complex compounds are often called coordination comp?unds beca~se
certain groups called ligands are attached to the central metal ion by coordmate or dative
bonds. Coordination.compounds exhibit isomerism, both srructural and stereoisomerism. The

For a spontaneous reaction, the free energy change must be negative. !lG = m -T/j.S, Af-l
is the enthalpy change during the reaction. Tis the absolute temperature, and /j.S is the
change in entropy during the reaction. Consider a reaction such as the formation of an
oxide
M+0 2 --+ MO
Dioxygen is used up in the course of this reaction. Gases have a more random structure
(less ordered) than liquid or solids. Consequently gases have a higher entropy than
liquids and solids. In this reaction s (entropy or randomness) decreases, hence llS is
negative. Thus, if the temperature is raised then TAS becomes more negative. Since, T!JS
is substracted in the equation, then ~G becomes less negative. Thus, the free energy
change increases with the increase in temperature.
The free energy changes that occur when one mole of common reactant (in this case
dioxygen) is used may be plotted graphically against temperature for a number of
reactions of metals to their oxides. The following plot is called an Ellingham diagram for
metal oxide. Understanding of Ellingham diagram is extremely important for the efficient
extraction of metals.

According to Drago's rule lone pair on phosphorus resides in almost pure s-orbital, hence due to
non-directional nature, its overlapping tendency is greatly reduced in comparison to a lone pair present
in hybrid orbital, which is directional as present in NH 3.
45. (a) (F); As the size of halogen atom increases crowding on Si atom will increase, hence, tendency of attack
of Lewise base decreases. ,
(b) (T); M.P. ofNH 3 is h ighest due to intermolecular H-bonding in it.
Next lower M.P. will be of SbH3 followed by AsH 3 due to high mo!. wt. of SbH 3.
(c) (F) ; M.P. and B.P. of increase from PH 3 to SbH 3 via AsH 3 due to increase in mo!. wt. NH 3 does not

Solubility decreases : F2 > Cl2 > Br2 > 12
F2 and Cl 2 are gases : Br2-corrosive liquid; 12-volatile solid
due to dense electronic arrangement two molecules arrange at maximum disstance in the case of fluorine.
Moreover, F2 has least and 12 has maximum van der Waals' force thats why F2 has maximum van der \'iaa!s'
radius. Bond dissociation energy for cl 2 is maximum and F2 has less because of interelectronic repulsion.

Transition metal and their compounds are used as catalysts in industry and in biological
system. For example, in the Contact Process, vanadium compounds in the +S state {V20 5 or
VO 3) are used to oxidise SO 2 to SO 3 :
1 VfJs
S0 2 +-0 2 --► S0 3
2
It is thought that the actual oxidation process takes place in two stages. In the first step, vs.
in the presence of oxide ions converts SO 2 to SO 3 • At the same time, V 5+ is reduced to V.;... .
2v s+ + 0 2- + so 2 ---+ 2v 4 + + S03
In the second step, Vs+ is regenerated from V 4+ by oxygen :
' 2V 4 +. + _! 0 2 ---+ 2V s+ + 0 2-

Dioxygen directly reactS with nearly all metals and non-metals except some metals (e.g., Au,
Pt) and some noble gases and form oxide(s). Oxides can be simple (e.g., MgO, AI 2Q 3 ) or
mixed (Pb 30 4 , Fe 30 4 ). Simple oxides can be classified on the basis of their acidic, basic or
amphoteric character. An oxide that combines with water to give an acid is termed acidic
oxide(e.g.,S0 2 , Cl 2 0 7 ,C0 2 ,N 2 0 5 ). For example, S0 2 combines with water to give H 2S0 3 ,
an acid.

The unique behaviour ·of Cu, having a positive E0 (Reduction potential) accounts for its
inability to liberate H 2 from acids. Only oxidising acids (nitric acid and hot concentrated
sulphuric acid) react with Cu. The high energy to transform Cu(s) to Cu 2+ (aq.) is not
balanced by its hydration enthalpy.
On the other hand, all Cu (II) halides are known except iodide. In this case, Cu 2+ oxidises r-
to 12 :
2Cu 2+ + 41- ~ 2Cul(s) + 12
However, copper (I) compounds are unstable in aqueous solution and undergo
disproportionation.
2Cu+ (aq.) ~ cu·2+(aq.) + Cu

The stability of Cu +(aq.) rather than Cu+ (aq.) is due to the much more negative Af-1 Hyd of

3 . Assertion : Zn+HN0 3 (conc.) ~ Zn(N0 3 ) 2 +N0 2 +H 20
Reason : Nitric acid plays a double role in action on Zn metal, it acts as an acid as well as
an oxidising agent.
4. Assertion : If yellow precipitate is obtained on adding ammonium molybdate solution on
boiling then phosphate radical is identified.
Reason : Ammonium phosphomolybdate is a yellow compound.
s. Assertion HgCl 2 and SnC1 2 cannot exist together in an aqueous solution.
:
Reason : SnCl 2 is a strong reducing agent because Sn shows inert pair effect.
6. Assertion : Sometimes a white turbidity is obtained when a solution is prepared in water .
Reason : Pb 2+ cations are precipitated as PbCl 2 which is sparingly soluble in water.
- --
7. Assertion -2S-3 are
: CdS and As -- --
yellow ---
coloured --
compounds. - - - ~ 501
Reason CdS and As 2 S 3 can be separated by ammonium sulphide.
8. Assertion: Green edge flame test tells presence of borate ion.
Reason Green colour of the flame is due to burning of trl ethyl borate.
9. Assertion: A solution of AgCl in NH 4 0H gives a white precipitate when addff11;d with
HN0 3 •
Reason r
[Ag(NH 3 ) 2 decomposes in the presence of HNO 3 •
10. Assertion: When H 2S is passed through a solution of CuSO 4 , no precipitate of CuS is
obtained until the solution is acidified with HCI.
Reason The solubility product constant of CuS is not so high as to require a high
concentration of s2- for the precipitation of CuS.
11. Assertion : When H 2 S is passed through a solution containing [Cu(CN) 4 ) 3- and
[Cd(CN) 4 ] 2- ions, only cadmium precipitates as CdS.
Reason The oxidation state and co-ordination number of cadmium in [Cd(CN) 4 ] z-. are
II and 4 respectively.
12. Assertion: A concentrated solution ofBiC13 can be hydrolysed with watet
Reason BiC1 3 does not change in composition with dilution.
13. Assertion: The blue precipitate formed by the action of K 4 [Fe(CN) 6 ] on Fe 3+ and by that
of K 3 [Fe(CN) 6 ] on Fe 2+ have the same composition.
Reason [Fe(CN) 6 ] 3- oxidises Fe2+ to Fe 3+ and itself gets reduced to [Fe(CNh] 4 - .
14. Assertion: Zn(OH) 2 dissolves in an excess of NaOH solution as well as NH 4 OH solution.
Reason Zn(OH) 2 forms the soluble zincate salts with these alkalies.
15. Assertion : When a solution of Na 2 Zn0 2 is acidified with dilute HCl and treated with H 2 S,
a precipitate of ZnS is formed.
Reason Na 2 Zn0 2 is decomposed by HCl to give Zn 2+ ions.
16. Assertion: Br - ions do not interfere in the chromyl chloride test for chlorides.
Reason A bromide, on oxidation with K 2Cr 20 7 / concentrated H 2 S0 4 , liberates Br 2 ,
which dissolves in NaOH to give a colourless solution.
17. Assertion: Basic radical of V group are precipitated as their carbonates in presence of
NH 4 CL
Reason NH 4 0H maintains the pH of the solution basic.
18. Assertion: NO 3 ion can not be detected by brown ring test in presence of NO 2 ion.
Reason Both N0 2 and N0 3 ions evolve brown N0 2 gas with cone. H 2 S0 4 acid.

One of the three colourless gases-<:0 21 S0 2 and Hp-is generally produced by the action of dilute
H~4 on a salt. /u the gas turn1 acidified dichromate solution green along with the formation of a
slightly coloured precipitate (may be S), the gas seems to be H-J; and so the substance A seems to be a
sulphide. Again, the action of NH, or an NaOH solution on the solution of the substance in dilute
Hi-504 suggests that the substance is a zinc salt. Thus, A is most likely ZnS. Let us go through the

The fact that the mixture is insoluble in water but soluble in dilute HCl and that the solution does not
give a precipitate with H~ suggest that groups I and II are absent. The evolution of a gas (during the
dissolution of the mixture of dilute HCI) turning lime water milky but not acting on an acidified
dichromate solution suggests the presence of Co~- in the mixture. The formation of a white precipitate
by the action of AgN0 3 on the soda extract, acidified with HN0 3 , suggests the presence of c1- .
The formation of a brown precipitate when an alkaline solution ofK 2[Hgl4], i.e., Nessler's reagent, is
treated with the gas formed by boiling the mixture with an NaOH solution indicates the presence of
NH:. Step (4) suggests the absence of group UIA cations and step (5) that of group IIB cations. Step (6)
