K Be N Na
(Z=19) (Z=4) (Z=7) (Z=11)

Ans: K >Na > Be > N

15. Size of the cation is smaller than the parent atom. Give reason.

Ans: It has more electrons and effective nuclear charge decreases

17. Mention a species that is isoelectronic with neon.

18. Define ionization enthalpy.


Ans: It is the energy required to remove an electron from isolated neutral gaseous atom.

19. 2ndionisation enthalpy for an element is higher than the 1stionisation enthalpy. Give
reason.

neutral atom

20. What is electron gain enthalpy.


Ans: It is the enthalpy change that occurs when an electron is added to a neutral gaseous
atom

21. Why is ionisation enthalpy always positive?


Ans: It is an endothermic process or energy is always absorbed to remove an electron

22. Define electro negativity.


Ans: It is the ability of an atom in a compound to attract the shared electrons to itself.
