What is an electron affinity ? Give an example .
Answer: 815
815-861
Trend in a group : In a group electron affinity values decreases from top to bottom because the size of an atom increases down the group . With the increase in size of atom shielding effect increase that results in poor attraction for the incoming electron i-e less energy is released out
Question: 816
Why suspensions and solutions do not show Tyndall effect , while colloids do ?
Answer: 816
816-861
Suspensions and solutions do not show Tyndall effect because particles of solution are so small that can't be scatter the rays of light and particles of suspension are so big that light is blocked and difficult to pass . The colloids do show Tyndall effect because particles scatter the path of light rays thus emitting the beam of light i-e exhibit the Tyndall effect

Why the second ionization energy of magnesium is higher than the first one?
Answer: 843
843-861
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.

Why shielding effect of electron makes cation formation easy ?
Answer: 852
852-861
Shielding effect reduce the effective nuclear charge due to the nucleus thus the net force on the valence electrons decrease due to higher shielding effect . That is why the removal of valence electron become easy for cation formation
Question: 853
What is the trend of electronegativity in the period ?
Answer: 853
853-861
The trend ofelectronegativity is same as of ionization energy and electron affinity . It increases in a period from left to right because higher Zeff shortens distance from the nucleus of the shared pair of electrons . This enhances the shared pair of electron

Question: 858
Ice floats on the surface of water . Give reason.
Answer: 858
858-861
Floating of ice over water is because of hydrogen bonding . The density of ice at0°C (0.917gcm-3) is less that of liquid water at0°C(1.00 gcm-3) In the liquid state water molecules move randomly . However , when water freezes , the molecules arrange themselves in an ordered form , that gives them an open structure . This process expands the molecules , that results in ice being less dense as compared to water
Question: 859
Why calcium is more electropositive than to magnesium?
