Soltions

Leave a Comment
Homogeneous mixture: Substances which dissolve with each other thoroughly to form a uniform mixture is called homogeneous mixture.
Eg: Water + Salt.

Solutions: A homogeneous mixture formed with two or more substances is called as solution.
Components: Substances present in solution are called as components. Solvent: A component which is larger in quantity in a solution is called solvent.
Eg: Water in salt water.

Solute: A component which is less in quantity in a solution is called solute.
Eg: Salt in salt water

Aqueous Solution: If the solvent in a solution is water, the solution is called as aqueous solution.

Types of Solution: Solution are divided into unsaturated, saturated and super saturated solutions based on the solubility of the solute.
Note: Super saturated solution is more unstable.

Solubility: The maximum amount of solute by weight in grams in 100 grams of solvent at constant temperature is called the solubility of that substance.
Eg: Solubility of certain compounds at 30°C.

Factors affecting solubility of substances.
(a) Nature of solute & solvent.
(b) Temperature.
             Generally polar substances dissolve in polar solvents, but not in a non-polar solvents. In the same manner non-polar substances dissolve in non-polar solvents but not in polar solvents.
Eg (1): Copper Sulphate is a polar solute. Hence it dissolves in water which is also a polar solvent. But the same copper sulphate doesn't dissolve in kerosene as kerosene is a non-polar solvent.

Eg (2): Naphthalene is a non-polar solute. Hence it dissolves in kerosene which is also a non-polar solvent. But the same Naphthalene doesn't dissolve in water which is a polar solvent.

            Solubility of KOH, NaNO3, KNO3, NH4Cl increase with the increase in temperature.
            Solubility of Ce2(SO4)3 and all gases decrease as the temperature increases.
            Effect of temperature is negligible with respect to NaCl solubility.

Periodic Classification of Elements

Leave a Comment
♦ The first classification of elements is due to dobereiner in 1817.

Dobereiner Triad Theory: "The atomic weight of the middle element is the arithmetic mean of first and third elements (or) the atomic weights of all the three elements are approximately the same"
            Eg: i) Li, Na, K ii) Fe, Co, Ni iii) Cl, Br, I.
Newland's Concept of Octaves: Every eighth element is having the similar properties to that of the first element like in octave of music.
♦ Mendeleef, Lother Meyer used atomic property. Atomic weight for classification
elements.
Mendeleef's Periodic Law: The properties of the elements are the periodic functions of their atomic weights".
Modern Periodic Law: The properties of the elements are the periodic functions of their atomic number (or) electronic configuration.
♦ Modern Periodic Table is called long form of periodic table.
♦ Long form of periodic table is divided into seven horizontal rows called "Periods" and eighteen vertical columns called "Groups"
♦ The first period has only two elements.
♦ The second and third period have 8 elements each.
♦ Fourth, Fifth and sixth periods have 18 elements each.
♦ Lanthanides and actinides are placed at the bottom of the periodic table.
♦ Seventh period is incomplete.
♦ Based on electronic configuration, the elements are classified into 4 types. They are inert gases, representative elements, transition elements representative elements and inner transition elements.
Atomic radius: It is the distance between the centre of the nucleus and outermost orbital.
♦ It is expressed in units of Angstroms.
Ionization energy: It is the energy required to remove an electron from the outermost orbital in the gaseous state.
♦ IE is expressed in ev or KCal.mol–1 or K.J.mol–1.
Electronegativity: The ability of the bonded atom to attract the electron density of the shared electrons.
♦ Electronegativity is expressed ... pauling scale.
♦ In a period, Atomic radius decreases and ionisation energy and electronegativity increases.
♦ In a group, atomic radius increases and IE and EN value decreases.

5. Therefore, Ionisation energy do not follow any regular trend in a period.
Groups:
1. In a group, Ionisation energy decreases from top to bottom.
2. As we go from top to bottom, the size of the atom increases and attractive power of the nucleus on the outermost electron decreases.

Chemical Bond

Leave a Comment
♦ Atoms combine to form molecules.
♦ Formation of chemical bond involves redistribution of electrons.
Ionic Bond: "The chemical bond formed by the complete transfer of one or more electrons from one atom to other".
                Eg: NaCl, MgO
Covalent Bond: "The bond formed by the sharing of electrons between two atoms".
                Eg: H2, Cl2, F2, H2O
Octet configuration: "The filling up of valence orbital with 8 electrons".
♦ As the atoms approach each other, the attractive forces between electrons of one atom and the nucleus of other atom increases, results in the decrease of combined potential energy of combined atoms.
♦ At the critical internuclear distance, the energy of the molecule (or) combined atoms is less than the sum of the energies of individual atoms and thus a chemical bond is formed.

Potential- Energy Level Diagram:












♦ Zero group elements have stable electronic configuration having 2 (or) 8 electrons.
♦ A covalent bond is formed by the overlap of two pure atomic orbitals (or) two hybridised orbitals (or) one hybridized and one atomic orbital.
♦ Strong bond is formed by the maximum overlap of orbitals.
♦ Sigma-bond: End-on-end overlap of orbitals lead to the formation of sigma bond. It is formed by the overlap of s-s orbitals, p-p orbitals and s-p orbital overlap.
♦ Pi-bond: Partial overlap of orbitals lead to the formation of pi (π) bond.
♦ Sigma bond is stronger than pi-bond, sigma bond exists independently.
       Eg: H2, HCl, Cl2, CH4
♦ π-bond has no independent existence. It exists only after the formation of σ bond.
♦ In a double bond, one sigma and one π bond are present.
        Eg: C2H4, O2, CO2, etc.,
♦ In a triple bond, one sigma and two pi-bonds are present.
        Eg: N2, C2H2, HCN etc.,
♦ In a co-ordinate covalent bond, both the electrons are supplied by one atom and shared between two atoms.
♦ The primary requirement for the formation of a covalent bond is that one atom should have a lone pair of electrons (with octet configuration) to donate and another atom should have an empty orbital to receive it.
♦ Molecules having linear structure are
      Eg: CO2, BeCl2, C2H2, HCN etc.,
♦ Molecules having pyramidal structure are
      Eg: NH3, PCl3, PH3, ....
♦ Molecules having double bond are
      Eg: O2, CO2, C2H4, ....
♦ Molecules having triple bond are

                 Units: ev (or) K.J. mol–1 (or) K.Cal.mol–1.
21. Electron affinity is "the energy released when an electron is added to a neutral gaseous atom in the ground state".
                 Units: ev (or) K.J. mol–1 (or) K.Cal.mol–1.
