 Exception :

● In the transition series (e.g. in first transition series), the covalent

radii of the elements decrease from left to right across a row until
near the end when the size increases slightly

❖ Exception :

● For transition elements

 Electron gain enthalpy ΔHeg

● The energy released when an electron is added to an

isolated gaseous atom to produce a monovalent
anion is known as electron gain enthalpy
❖ Electron gain enthalpy :

● Enthalpy change of this process is known as electron

gain enthalpy

● Minus sign indicates that energy is released

Nuclear charge 𝛼 E.A.

● Nuclear charge :

● Half filled and fully filled electronic configuration :

Atoms having above configuration is most stable and they do

not show tendency to accept the extra electron.

 electron gain enthalpy

❖ In a period, atomic size decreases with increase in effective

nuclear charge and hence increase in electron gain
enthalpy.
Exception :
● The values of electron gain enthalpy of inert gases are zero,
because there outermost orbit has fully-filled p orbitals.
 electron gain enthalpy

❖ The values of electron gain enthalpy normally decreases

on going from top to bottom in a group because the
atomic size increases which decreases the actual force of
attraction by the nucleus.
Exception :
● The values of electron gain enthalpy of alkali metals and
alkaline earth metals can be regarded as zero, because
they do not have tendency to form anions by accepting
electron.

the average value of ionisation potential and electron
gain enthalpy of an atom.

 VSEPR theory

● This theory predicts the shape of the molecule by considering the most stable
configuration of the bond angles in the molecule. This theory states :
● Electron pairs in the valence shell of the central atom of a
molecule, whether bonding or lone pairs are regarded as
occupying localised orbitals. These orbitals arrange
themselves in so as to minimize the mutual electronic
repulsions. LP – LP repulsion

LP – BP repulsion

BP – BP repulsion
Lone pair-lone pair > lone pair - bonded pair > bonded pair - bonded pair
 VSEPR theory

● The electronic repulsion between two pairs of

electrons will be minimum if they are as far apart as
possible.

● The actual shape of the molecules containing lone pairs is a little distorted from
the basic shape as in the NH3 and H2O molecules. The bond angles are not
109028’ but 1070 and 104.50 respectively due to presence of one lone pair in NH3

 Hybridisation

● Intermixing of the orbitals of slightly different energies, so as to redistribute their

energies resulting in the formation of new set of orbitals of equivalent energies
and shape.

s + p (Atomic orbitals) = Hybrid orbitals

● The phenomenon is called hybridisation.

 Salient Features of hybridisation
● Only orbitals of almost similar energies and belonging to the same atom or ion
undergo hybridization.
● The number of hybrid orbitals produced is equal to the number of pure orbitals
mixed during hybridization.

● In the excited state, the number of unpaired electrons must correspond to the
oxidation state of the central atom in the molecule.

● Most of the hybrid orbitals are similar in shape, size and energy.

orbitals (MO)

D H2Po < H2Te < H2Se < H2S < H2O

Which is the correct thermal stability order for H2E (E = O, S, Se, Te and
Po) ?

A H2Se < H2Te < H2Po < H2O < H2S ● Thermal stability of hydrides
decreases from H2O to H2Po.
● As the size of atom E in H2E
B H2S < H2O < H2Se < H2Te < H2Po increases, the bond H-E
becomes weaker and thus
breaks on heating.
C H2O < H2S < H2Se < H2Te < H2Po ● Thus order D is correct.

Among the following, the correct order of acidity is

A HClO2 < HClO < HClO3 < HClO4

● This can be explained on the basis
of relative stability of the anions
B HClO4 < HClO2 < HClO < HClO3 left after removal of a proton.
● Since, the stability of the anion
decreases in the order:
C HClO3 < HClO4 < HClO2 < HClO
ClO4- > ClO3- > ClO2- > ClO-

D HClO < HClO2 < HClO3 < HClO4
