Along the period: Metallic character decreases along the period from left to right.

Reason:

1:. From left to right size of atom decreases and nuclear charge increases so is difficult to remove electron and electropositivity decreases.

Question: 836

What is the trend of ionization energy in the group ?

Answer: 836

836-861

As we move down the group , more and more shells lie between the valence shell and the nucleus of the atom , these additional shells reduce the electrostatic force felt by the electrons present in the outermost shell . Resultantly the valence shell electrons can be taken away easily . Therefore , ionization energy of elements decreases from top to bottom in a group

Question: 837

Why does covalent bond become polar?

Answer: 837

837-861

If the covalent bond is formed between two different atoms bond pair of electrons will not attracted equally by the bonded atoms . The atom which has greater electronegativity will attract bond pair more towards itself than other atom and hence molecule will become polar

Why the second ionization energy of magnesium is higher than the first one?

Answer: 851

851-861

he l ionization energy of magnesium is high but the 2" ionization energy of magnesium i, very high. It becomes very difficult to remove second electron from the Mg' ion as nuclear charge attracts the remaining electrons strongly. As a result of this attraction size of the ion decreases.

Question: 852

Why alkali metals are more reactive than alkaline earth metals ?

Answer: 852

852-861

Alkali metals are extremely reactive because of their ns¹valence shell electronic configuration . As there is only one electron in their valence shell , it can be easily given out . It is the reason that they are always found in in nature as cations with +1oxidation state . Therefore , they readily form salts with non-metals
