If the ionisation potential is IP, electron affinity is EA and electronegativity is x then which of the following relation is correct.

  1. 2X-EA-IP=0

  2. 2EA-X-IP=0

  3. 2IP-X-EA=0

  4. All of the above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation
Electron affinity: The amount of energy released when an electron is added to the outermost shell of one mole of an isolated gaseous atom in its lower energy state.

Ionisation energy: Minimum energy required to remove most loosly held outer most shell e – in ground state from an isolated gaseous atom is known as ionisation potential.

$\displaystyle X= \frac{IP+EA}{2}$

$2X-IP-EA=0$

  1. 12.35

  2. 11.0

  3. 15.2

  4. 14.2
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Electronegativity of F on Pauling scale is 4.0. Its value on Mulliken scale is 11.2
$\displaystyle \chi (Pauling) = 0.34 \chi (Mulliken) -0.2 $
$\displaystyle 4.0 = 0.34\chi (Mulliken) -0.2 $
$\displaystyle \chi (Mulliken) = 12.35 $

D Correct answer
Explanation

The correct relationship is $EN = \dfrac {IE+EA}{2}$
According to mulliken's scale, the electronegatiity is the average value of ionization potential and electron affinity of an atom.

Multiple choice chemistry classification of elements- the periodic table periodic trends in physical properties properties and trend trends in periodic table electronic configuration and valency electron configuration

An element $X$ has $IP = 1681$ kJ/mole and $EA =-333$ kJ/mole then its electronegativity is:

  1. $(1681 + 333) / 544$
  2. $(1681 - 333 )/ 544$
  3. $(1681 + (-333)) / 2$
  4. $\dfrac{208\sqrt{1681+333}}{544}$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Robert S. Mulliken proposed that the arithmetic mean of the first ionization energy ($E i$) and the electron affinity ($E _{ea}$) should be a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract electrons. As this definition is not dependent on an arbitrary relative scale, it has also been termed absolute electronegativity, with the units of kilojoules per mole or electron volts.

The $Z _{effective}$ for $He$ is?

  1. 2

  2. 1.7

  3. 1.85

  4. 1.65
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation
The effective nuclear charge experienced by a 1s electron in helium is +1.70.

The effective nuclear charge $Z _{eff}$ is the net positive charge experienced by an electron in a multi-electron atom.

A given electron does not experience a full nuclear charge because the other electrons are sometimes between it and the nucleus and shield it from the nucleus.

The formula for effective nuclear charge is-

$Z _{eff}=Z-S$

where, 
Z is the number of protons in the nucleus, and S is the shielding constant, the average number of electrons between the nucleus and the electron in question.
The American physicist John Slater derived a number of rules to determine the shielding constant.

He found that for electrons in a 1s orbital, the second electron shields the first by 0.30 units.

$Z _{eff}=Z-S=2- 0.30-1.70$

Hence, the correct option is B.

The screening effect of 'd' electrons is : 

  1. much more than s-electrons

  2. equal to s-electrons

  3. equal to p-electrons

  4. much less than s-electrons
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

The screening effect (shielding) depends on the shape of the orbitals. s-orbitals are closest to the nucleus and provide the most shielding, while d-orbitals are more diffuse and have poor shielding ability.
