Deficiency Defect,

Zinc oxide is white in colour at

room temperature. On heating

it turns yellow.

On heating it loses oxygen, The excess Zn2+ ions move to

interstitial sites and the electrons to neighbouring interstitial

sites

Frenkel Defect: Cation is dislocated to an interstitial site. It does not change

the density of the solid. Frenkel defect is shown by ionic

substance in which there is a large difference in the size of

ions. Eg ZnS, AgCl, AgBr and AgI due to small size of Zn2+ and

Ag+ ions.

Schottky Defect A vacancy defect. The number of missing cations and anions

are equal. Schotky defect is shown by ionic substance in which

there is a small difference in the size of ions.Density

decreases. Eg NaCl, KCl, CsCl and AgBr.

Metal excess defect due to

anionic vacancies (F-centres )

When NaCl heated in an atmosphere of Na vapour, the Na

atoms deposit on the surface of the crystal. The Cl– ions

diffuse to the surface of the crystal and combine with Na

atoms to give NaCl. The

released electrons diffuse into the crystal and occupy anionic

sites . The anionic sites occupied by unpaired electrons are

called F-centres .They impart yellow colour to the crystals of

NaCl. Similarly, excess of lithium makes LiCl crystals pink and

excess of potassium makes KCl crystals violet (or lilac).

Doping The conductivity of intrinsic semiconductors is increased by

adding an appropriate amount of suitable impurity. This

process is called doping.

n / p -type semiconductors n- type : Si (14th Gp) + As, Sb or Bi (15th Gp)

p-type: Si(14th Gp) + B ,Ga , In or Tl(13th Gp)

13 –15 compounds

12–16 compounds

13 – 15 compounds: InSb, AlP and GaAs.

12 – 16 compounds :ZnS, CdS, CdSe and HgTe

Paramagnetic substances Weakly attracted by a magnetic field. Atoms of these

substances have unpaired electrons. Examples: O2, Cu2+, Fe3+,

Cr3+

Diamagnetic substances Weakly repelled by a magnetic field. Atoms of these

substances have paired electrons.

Eg: H2O, NaCl and C6H6

Ferromagnetism: Strongly attracted by external magnetic field.Domains are

oriented in same direction resulting in combined magnetic

moment. Eg iron, cobalt, nickel, gadolinium and CrO2.They are

attracted very strongly by a magnetic field.

DAV CENTENARY PUBLIC SCHOOL, PASCHIM ENCLAVE, NEW DELHI - 87

Page 3

Antiferromagnetism Domains oppositely oriented and cancel out magnetic moment.

Eg MnO.

Ferrimagnetism: Domains aligned in parallel and anti-parallel directions in

unequal numbers.Lose ferrimagnetism on heating and become

paramagnetic. Example: Fe3O4 (magnetite)

Conductors solids with conductivities ranging from 104 to 107 S m–1.

valence band is only partially filled or it overlapsa vacant

conduction band of slightly higher energy. electrons can easily

flow under the influence of electric field

Insulators conductivities ranging from 10–20 to 10–10 S m–1. the gap

between the valence band and conduction band is large. Due to

this the valence electrons cannot jump to the conduction band

and conduct electricity.

Semiconductors intermediate conductivities ranging from 10–6 to 104 S m–1. the

gap between the valence band and nearest conduction band is

small. On applying the electric field, some electrons can jump

to the conduction band and provide low conductivity.

SOLUTIONS

Solid Solutions Gas in solid Solution of hydrogen in palladium

Liquid in solid Amalgam of mercury with sodium

Temp. Vs Conc.

Mass %, ppm, mole fraction and molality are independent of

temperature,

whereas molarity depends on temperature. This is because volume

depends on temperature.

DAV CENTENARY PUBLIC SCHOOL, PASCHIM ENCLAVE, NEW DELHI - 87

Page 4

Henry‘s law.

Mole fraction of gas in the solution is proportional to the partial

pressure of the gas

over the solution.

The partial pressure of the gas in vapour phase (p) is proportional to the

mole fraction

of the gas (x) in the solution.

p = KH . x

KH = Henry‘s law constant

( greater the KH value, lower the solubility.)

Different gases have different KH values at the same

temperature

Application of

Henry‘s law.

1.To increase the solubility of CO2 in soft drinks, the bottle is sealed

under high pressure.

2. To avoid bends, the tanks used by scuba divers are filled with air

diluted with helium.

Temp and Solubilty

of gas

Solubility of gas increases with decrease of temperature. It is due to

this reason that aquatic species are more comfortable in cold waters

rather than in warm waters.

Raoult‘s law for

volatile liquids

For a solution of volatile liquids,

The partial vapour pressure of each component in the solution is directly

proportional to its mole fraction. PA α xA pA = pA0 xA

Where pA0 is the vapour pressure of pure component A at the same

temperature.

Similarly, for component B

PB = pB0 xB

where pB0 represents the vapour pressure of the pure component B.

Ideal Solutions

The Ideal solutions

A-A or B-B,

Eg - Mixtures of ethanol and acetone

Negative deviations : Forces between A-A and B-B are weaker than

those between A-B

Eg- mixture of phenol + aniline.

Mixture of chloroform +acetone

Azeotropes

Mixtures have same composition in liquid and vapour phase and boil at a

constant temp.

minimum boiling azeotrope(positive deviation)

eg- 95% aq ethanol

maximum boiling azeotrope(negative deviation)

eg- 68% aq nitric acid

Colligative properties

Properties that depend upon the number of particles of solute and not

on the nature of solute. e.g. Elavation of boiling point, depression of

fruzing point.

Relative Lowering of

Vapour Pressure

= XB

P0A = vapour pressure of solvent.

PA = vapour pressure of solution.

= lowering of vapour pressure

XB = mole fraction of solute.

Boiling Point and

Freezing Point

Boiling point of a liquid is the temperatures at which the vapour pressure

of the liquid becomes equal to the atmospheric pressure.

Freezing point is the temperature at which the solid and the liquid forms

of the substance have the same vapour pressure.

Elevation of Boiling

Point

ΔTb = elevation in boiling point,

Kb = molal elevation constant

Molal elevation constant is the elevation in boiling point when one mole of

solute is dissolved in one kilogram of the solvent.

MB = molecular weight of solute,

WB = weight of solute

DAV CENTENARY PUBLIC SCHOOL, PASCHIM ENCLAVE, NEW DELHI - 87

Page 6

WA = weight of solvent

m = molality

Depression of

Freezing Point

ΔTf = depression in freezing point,

Kf = molal depression constant

Molal depression constant or molal cryoscopic constant for the solvent

Kf may be defined as the depression in freezing point of a solution when

one mole of a solute is dissolved in 1 kilogram of the solvent.

MB = molecular weight of solute,

WB = weight of solute

WA = weight of solvent

m = molality

Osmosis Solvent flows through the semi permeable membrane from pure solvent

to the solution.

Osmotic pressure The extra pressure applied on the solution that just stops the flow of

solvent is called osmotic pressure of the solution

Osmotic pressure(π)

RT

R = gas constant

T = Temperature in Kelvin

RT , RT

where C is concentration of solution.

Isotonic solutions Two solutions having same osmotic pressure

Hypertonic Higher osmotic pressure than a particular soln

Hypotonic Lower osmotic pressure than a particular soln

Reverse Osmosis

The direction of osmosis can be reversed if a pressure larger than the

osmotic pressure is applied to the solution side. That is, now the pure

solvent flows out of the solution.

Application : Desalination of sea water

Abnormal Colligative

Properties.

Sometimes while measuring colligative properties abnormal results are

obtained due to the following reasons :

In case of association two or more solute molecules associate to form a

DAV CENTENARY PUBLIC SCHOOL, PASCHIM ENCLAVE, NEW DELHI - 87

Page 7

bigger molecule. The number of effective molecules in the solution,

therefore decreases.

Consequently, the value of the collgative property (relative lowering of

vapour pressure, elevation of boiling point, depression of freezing point,

osmotic pressure) is observed to be less than that calculated on the

basis of unassociated molecules.

In case of dissociation of the solute in the solution, the number of

effective solute particles increases. In such cases the value of the

observed collgative property will be greater than that calculated on the

basis of undissociated solute particles.

electrolyte.

Faraday‘s 1st Laws

The amount of chemical reaction which occurs at any electrode during

electrolysis is proportional to the quantity of electricity passed through

the electrolyte (solution or melt).

Faraday‘s 2nd Laws

The amounts of different substances liberated by the same quantity of

electricity passing through the electrolytic solution are proportional to

their chemical equivalent weights (Atomic Mass of Metal ÷ Number of

electrons required to reduce the cation).

Rate expression

Rate law is the expression in which reaction rate is given in terms of

molar concentration of reactants with each term raised to some

power, which may

or may not be same as the stoichiometric coefficient of the reacting

species in a balanced chemical equation.

For

aA + bB → cC + Dd

The rate expression for this reaction is :

Rate α [A]x [B]y => Rate = k [A]x [B]y

k is the Rate const. (x , y from expts)

Order of a Reaction

(Has to get from expt.

Not from balanced

equation.)

The sum of powers of the concentration of the reactants in the rate

law expression is called the order of that chemical reaction.

If Rate = k [A]x [B]y ( x and y found out experimentally)

Order = x + y

Elementary reactions The reactions taking place in one step are called Elementary

Reactions.

Unit of rate constant

For n th order reaction : mol1-n Ln-1 s-1

Molecularity of a

Reaction

The number of reacting species taking part in an elementary reaction,

which must collide simultaneously in order to bring about a chemical

reaction is called molecularity of a reaction (values are limited from

1 to 3)

Rate Determining Step The overall rate of the reaction is controlled by the slowest step in a

reaction called the rate determining step

Half-life (t1/2) The half-life of a reaction is the time in which the concentration of a

DAV CENTENARY PUBLIC SCHOOL, PASCHIM ENCLAVE, NEW DELHI - 87

Page 13

reactant is reduced to one half of its initial concentration. It is

represented as t1/2.

Zero Order Reactions

Dependence of t1/2 on

[R]0

For zero order : t1/2 α [R]0.

For first order reaction t1/2 is independent of [R]0

Example of Zero Order

Reactions

The decomposition of gaseous ammonia on a hot platinum surface is a

zero order reaction at high pressure.

Rate = k [NH3]0 = k

Radioactive decay All natural and artificial radioactive decay of unstable nuclei take

place by first order kinetics

Pseudo First Order

Reaction

When one of two reactants is present in large excess. During the

hydrolysis of 0.01 mol of ethyl acetate with 10 mol of water The

concentration of water does not get altered much during the course

of the reaction and the reaction behaves as first order reaction.

Such reactions are called pseudo first order reactions.

Activation Energy Activation energy is given by the energy difference between

activated complex and the reactant molecules.

Arrhenius equation

k = A e -Ea /RT (exponential form)

ln k = – Ea/RT + ln A (logarithmic form)

A is the Arrhenius factor or the frequency factor or pre-

exponential factor

e -Ea /RT The factor e -Ea /RT corresponds to the fraction of molecules that

have kinetic energy greater than Ea

If k1 and k2 are rate

constants at

T1 and T2

Action of catalyst Catalyst provides an alternate pathway or reaction mechanism by

reducing the activation energy between reactants and products and

DAV CENTENARY PUBLIC SCHOOL, PASCHIM ENCLAVE, NEW DELHI - 87

Page 14

hence lowering the potential energy barrier.

Collision frequency (Z)

The number of collisions per second per unit volume of the reaction

mixture.

For A + B → Products Rate = P.ZAB e−Ea/ RT

P is probability or steric factor ZAB is collision frequency of

reactants, A and B.

SURFACE CHEMISTRY

Adsorption Accumulation of molecular species at the surface rather

than in the bulk of a solid or liquid.

Adsorbate & Adsorbent. The substance adsorbed is called adsorbate. And the

surface provider is called adsorbent.

Desorption. The process of removing an adsorbed substance from a

surface.

Adsorption and Absorption In adsorption, the substance is concentrated only at the

surface while in absorption, the substance is uniformly

distributed throughout the bulk of the solid.

Sorption Both adsorption and absorption can take place

simultaneously.

Enthalpy of adsorption Adsorption is exothermic ΔH is -ve.

There is decrease in entropy, ΔS is -ve.

For a process to be spontaneous, ΔG must be negative,

so ΔH should have sufficiently high-ve value.

Surface area & Adsorption Adsorption increases with the increase of surface area

of the adsorbent. Thus, finely

divided metals and porous substances having large

surface areas are good adsorbents.

Physisorption van der Waals‘ forces / not specific /reversible /easily

liquefiable gases adsorbed readily./ Enthalpy of

adsorption is low/ Low temperature is favourable /

Multimolecular layers.

Chemisorption chemical bond /highly specific / irreversible/Enthalpy

Adsorption Isotherm Variation of amount of gas adsorbed by the adsorbent

with pressure at constant temperature can be

expressed by means of a curve termed as adsorption

isotherm.

Applications of Adsorption High vacuum/masks/Control of humidity/ Removal of

colour/ catalysis/ curing diseases/

Homogeneous catalysis Reactants and the catalyst are in the same phase.eg

Lead Chamber Process of manufacture os sulphuric acid.

Heterogeneous catalysis Reactants and the catalyst are in different phases.eg

contact process of manufacture of sulphuric acid.

Activity of a solid catalyst Depends upon strength of chemisorption Reactants must

get adsorbed reasonably strongly.

Selectivity of a catalyst The selectivity of a catalyst is its ability to direct a

reaction to yield a particular product.

Promoters and poisons Promoters are substances that enhance the activity of a

catalyst while poisons decrease the activity of a

catalyst. For example, in Haber‘s process for

manufacture of ammonia, molybdenum acts as a

promoterfor iron which is used as a catalyst.

Shape- Selective Catalysis by

Zeolites

Depends upon the pore structure of the catalyst and the

size of the reactant and product molecules. Example:-

ZSM-5 (a zeolite) converts alcohols directly into

gasoline (petrol).

Characteristics of enzyme catalysis Highly efficient/ Highly specific / active under optimum

temperature& pH/ Increasing activity in presence of

activators and co-enzymes/ Influence of inhibitors and

poisons

Colloids A colloid is a heterogeneous system in which one

substance is

dispersed (dispersed phase) as very fine particles in

another substance

called dispersion medium.

Diameters of the colloid particles is between 1 and

1000 nm.

Lyophilic colloids Liquid-loving/ can be reconstituted/ reversible/easily

prepared/stable/ eg- gum, starch.

Lyophobic colloids Liquid-hating/ not be reconstituted/ irreversible/

prepared by special methods/ precipitated on addition

of electrolytes/heating/shaking/ not stable./ eg –metal

sols , sulphide sols.

Multimolecular colloids Large number of atoms or molecules of a substance

aggregate eg- gold sol , sulphur sol.

Macromolecular colloids Macromolecules in suitable solvents. Eg-starch, cellulose,

proteins and enzymes; polythene.

Associated colloids (Micelles) Substances at low conc behave as strong electrolytes,

but at high conc exhibit colloidal behaviour due to the

formation of aggregates(micelles.) eg- soaps and

detergents.

Kraft Temperature (Tk) Formation of micelles takes place only above a particular

temperature.

CMC Formation of micelles takes place only above a particular

conc.- critical micelle concentration.

For soaps, the CMC is 10-3mol/l to 10-4 mol/l

Cleansing action of soaps Soap molecules form micelle around the oil droplet in

such a way that hydrophobic part of the stearate ions is

in the oil droplet and hydrophilic part projects out of

the grease droplet like the bristles . Since the polar

groups can interact with water, the oil droplet

surrounded by stearate ions is now pulled in water and

removed from the dirty surface.

Electrical disintegration or

Bredig‘sArc method

This process involves dispersion as well as condensation.

Colloidal sols of metals such as gold, silver, platinum,

etc., can be prepared.

Electric arc is struck between

electrodes of the metal immersed in the dispersion

medium

DAV CENTENARY PUBLIC SCHOOL, PASCHIM ENCLAVE, NEW DELHI - 87

Page 17

The intense heat produced vapourises the metal,

which then condenses to form particles of colloidal size.

Peptization Process of converting a ppt into colloid by shaking it

with dispersion medium in the presence of a small

amount of electrolyte. The electrolyte used for this

purpose is called peptizing agent.

Dialysis: Removal of dissolved substance from colloidal by

diffusion through a suitable membrane.

Tyndall effect Colloidal particles scatter light in all directions.

Scattering of light illuminates the path of beam of the

light.

Conditions for Tyndall effect (i) Diameter of particles is not much smaller than

wavelength of the light used;

(ii) Refractive indices of the phase and medium

differ greatly in magnitude

Charge on colloidal particles +ve charged sols Hydrated metallic oxides e.g.,

Al2O3.xH2O, CrO3.xH2O andFe2O3.xH2O,

etc.,/methylene blue sol. /Haemoglobin (blood)

-ve charged sols Metals,/ sulphides e.g., As2S3,

Sb2S3, CdS sols. / eosin, congo red / starch, gum,

gelatin, clay,charcoal.

Origin of charge on colloidal particles Preferential adsorption of ions . The sol particles

acquire positive or negative charge by preferential

adsorption of +ve or –ve ions. When two or more ions are

present in the dispersion medium, preferential

adsorption of the ion common to the colloidal particle

usually takes place.

When silver nitrate solution is added to potassium iodide

solution,the precipitated silver iodide adsorbs iodide

ions from the dispersion medium and negatively charged

colloidal solution results. AgI/I– , Fe2O3.xH2O/Fe3+

However,when KI solution is added to AgNO3 solution,

positively charged sol results due to adsorption of Ag+

ions from dispersion medium. AgI/Ag+

Zeta potential The combination of the two layers of opposite charges

around the colloidal particle is called Helmholtz

electrical double layer.

Potential difference between the fixed layer and the

diffused layer is called Zeta Potential.

Electrophoresis The movement of colloidal particles under an electric

DAV CENTENARY PUBLIC SCHOOL, PASCHIM ENCLAVE, NEW DELHI - 87

Page 18

potential is called electrophoresis.

Electroosmosis If electrophoresis is prevented , it is observed that the

dispersion medium begins to move in an electric field.

Coagulation(ppt) The stability of the lyophobic sols is due to the

presence of charge on colloidal particles. If, somehow,

the charge is removed, the particles will come nearer to

each other to form aggregates (or coagulate) and settle

down under the force of gravity.

The process of settling of colloidal particles is called

coagulation or precipitation of the sol.

Reason of Coagulation Electrophoresis/mix oppositely charged

sols/boiling/persistent dialysis/addition of electrolytes.

Hardy-Schulze rule The greater the valence of the flocculating ion added,

the greater is its power to cause precipitation.

cream.

Demulsification Emulsions can be broken into constituent liquids by

Formation of Delta River water is a colloidal solution of clay. Sea water

contains a number of electrolytes. When river water

meets the sea water, the electrolytes present in sea

water coagulate the colloidal solution of clay resulting in

its deposition.

Electrical precipitation of

smoke(Cottrellppter)

The smoke, before it comes out from the chimney, is led

through a chamber containing plates having a charge

opposite to that carried by smoke particles. The

particles on coming in contact with these plates lose

their charge and get precipitated.

GENERAL PRINCIPLES AND PROCESS OF EXTRACTION OF ELEMENTS

Mineral It is the combined state in which a metal occurs naturally in the crust of the

earth.

Ore The mineral from which a metal can be profitably and conveniently extracted

is called ore.i.e. All ores are minerals but all minerals are not ores.

Gangue / Matrix: Earthly or undesired materials present in mineral are called gangue

Metallurgy:

The entire scientific and technological process used for isolation of the

metal from its ores is known as metallurgy.

Concentration of ore

Conversion to oxide Reduction Refining

Hydraulic

washing:

In this method, the light (low specific gravity) earthy impurities are removed

from the heavier metallic ore particles by washing with water. It is

therefore, used for the concentration of heavier oxide ores, like haematite

(Fe2O3 ) tinstone (SnO2 ) and gold (Au).

Magnetic

separation

This is based on difference in magnetic properties of the ore component.

Froth floatation

method

It is based on the difference in the wetting qualities of the gangue and

sulfide ore particles with water and oil. Where as the ore particles are

wetted by oil, the gangue particles are wetted by water.

Collectors enhance non-wet ability of the mineral particles. e.g. Pine oil, fatty acid,

xanthates, etc

Froth

stabilizers

stabilizes the forth e.g. Cresol, aniline, etc.

Depressants are reagents used to suppress or depress the formation of forth.

For example, ZnS and PbS can be separated from each other in the forth

floatation process by the addition of small amounts of NaCN which act as

depresent.

NaCN selectively prevents ZnS from coming to the froth by forming soluble

complex But allows PbS to come with the froth.

Leaching Leaching of alumina from bauxite bauxite, usually contains SiO2, iron oxides and titanium oxide (TiO2) as

Calcination and

Roasting.

Hydro

metallurgy

Calcinaton involves heating when the volatile matter escapes leaving behind

the metal oxide.

In roasting, the ore is heated in a regular supply of air in a furnace at a

temperature below the melting point of the metal.

If the ore contains iron, it is mixed with silica before heating.Iron oxide

‗slags of ‘* as iron silicate and

copper is produced in the form of copper matte which contains Cu2S and

FeS.

flux ‘ is added which combines with ‗ gangue ‗ to form ‗ slag ‗.

Slag separates more easily from the ore than the gangue.

Copper is extracted by hydrometallurgy from low grade ores. It is leached

out using acid or bacteria. The solution containing Cu2+ is treated with scrap

iron or H2

To displace Zn from solution of Zn2+ ions, we need more reactive elements

such as Al, Mg, Ca and K.

But all these metals react with water forming their corresponding ions with

the evolution of H2 gas.

Thus Al, Mg, etc. cannot be used to displace Zn from solution of Zn2+ ions.

Thus, copper can be extracted by hydrometallurgy but not zinc.

Electro

Metallurgy

[For highly

reactive metals]

Highly reactive metals can be isolated from their ores by the process of

electrometallurgy.

The strongest possible reducing agent is an electron; any ionic material can

be reduced to their respective metal by electrolysis.

moderately

reactive metals]

The process of converting metal oxide in to metal upon strong heating with a

suitable reducing agent is known as pyro metallurgy.

Principles of

Metallurgy

When the value of ∆G is negative only then the reaction will proceed. If ∆S

is positive, on increasing the temperature (T), the value of T∆S would

increase (∆H < T∆S) and then ∆G will become –ve.

If reactants and products of two reactions are put together (coupling)in a

system and the net ∆G of the two possible reactions is –ve, the overall

reaction will occur. The graphical representation of Gibbs energy was first

used by Ellingham.

This provides a sound basis for considering the choice of reducing agent in

the reduction of oxides. This is known as Ellingham Diagram.

Extraction of

iron from its

oxides

Oxide ores of iron, after concentration through calcination/roasting are

mixed with limestone and coke and fed into a Blast furnace from its top.

Here, the oxide is reduced to the metal.

It can be seen as a couple of two simpler reactions.

At temperatures above 1073K , coke will be reducing the FeO and will itself

be oxidised to CO.

Methods of

refining.

(a) Distillation (b) Liquation

(c) Electrolysis (d) Zone refining

(e) Vapour phase refining (f ) Chromatographic methods

Distillation This method is employed for purification of volatile metals ( Zn, Hg, Cd ) by

heating the ore followed by condensation

Liquation : This method is used when the M.P of the metals are lower than those of the

impurities.

e.g. low melting metal – Sn

Electrolytic

( Zn, Cu )

Anode : Impure metal ( Cu ) Cathode: Pure metal ( Cu )

Electrolyte : Soluble salt of same metal

( acidified CuSO4 solution )

The more basic metal remains in the solution and the less basic ones go to

the anode mud.

Copper is refined using an electrolytic method

Impurities from the blister copper deposit as anode mud which contains

antimony, selenium, tellurium, silver, gold and platinum.

Zone refining Principle-The impurities are more soluble in the melt than in the solid state

of the metal.

A circular mobile heater is fixed at one end of a rod of the impure metal.

The molten zone moves along with the heater which is moved forward. As the

heater moves forward, the pure metal crystallises out of the melt and the

impurities pass on into the adjacent molten zone.

At one end, impurities get concentrated. This end is cut off. This method is

very useful for producing semiconductor and other metals of very high

purity, e.g., germanium, silicon, boron,gallium and indium.

Vapour phase refining

Principle:-The metal is converted into its volatile compound and collected

elsewhere. It is then decomposed to give pure metal.

iodide being more covalent, volatilises.

The metal iodide is decomposed on a tungsten filament, electrically heated

to about 1800K

Chromato graphic methods

This method is based on the principle that different components of a

mixture are differently adsorbed on an adsorbent. The mixture is put in a

liquid or gaseous medium which is moved through the adsorbent.

Aluminium In the metallurgy of aluminium, purified Al2O3 is mixed with Na3AlF6 or CaF2

which lowers the melting point of the mix and brings conductivity.

The fused matrix is electrolysed. Steel cathode and graphite anode are used.

The graphite anode is useful here for reduction to the metal.

The oxygen liberated at anode reacts with the carbon of anode producing CO

and CO2.

The maximum number of

covalent bonds formed by

nitrogen is 4. Why

Nitrogen has three unpaired electrons and one lone pair of

electrons; therefore, it can form three covalent bonds and one

co-ordinate bond.

Give reasons for the least

reactivity of nitrogen

molecule?

Due to presence of a triple bond between the two N-atoms, the

bond dissociation enthalpy (941.4 KJ mol-1) is very high. Hence N2

is least reactive.

Though nitrogen exhibits +5

oxidation state, it does not

form pentahalide. Give

reason.

Nitrogen does not have d orbitals to expand its covalence beyond

four. That is why it does not form pentahalide

In trimethyl amine, the

nitrogen has a pyramidal

geometry whereas in

trisilylamine N (SiH3)3 ,it

has a planar geometry.

(CH3)3 N is pyramidal due to sp3 hybridization and has a lone pair

of electrons. (SiH3)3 N has sp2 hybridization because lone pair of

nitrogen is donated to vacant d-orbitalof Si.

Why is NH3 a good

complexing agent?

NH3 is a good complexing agent because nitrogen has a lone pair

of electrons which it can donate to form co-ordinate bond.

On being slowly passed

through water, PH3 forms

bubbles but NH3 dissolves.

Why is it so?

N-H bond is more polar than P-H bond. Hence, NH3 forms

hydrogen bonds with H2 Omolecules and hence dissolves in it

whereas PH3 does not dissolve and forms bubbles.

Why does NO2 dimerise? NO2 contains odd number of valence electrons. On dimerisation,

it is converted to a stable N2O4 molecule with even number of

electrons.

Why does PCI3 fume in

moisture?

PCI3 hydrolysis in the presene of moisture giving fumes of HCl.

Why is nitrous acid oxidant

as well as reductant?

The oxidation state of N in nitrous acid (H-O-N) is +3 whick lies

in between its lowest oxidation state of -3 and highest oxidation

state of +5. Since the oxidation state of N in (HNO2) can be

decreased from +3 to any lower value, therefore, it acts as an

oxidizing agent.

Further since the oxidation state of N in HNO2 can be

increased from +3 to +4 or +5, therefore, it acts as a reducing

agent. Thus, nitrous acid acts both as an oxidant as well as a

reductant.

Why are the Group 16 Chalcogens means ore forming. The elements of Group 16 are

Why is F2O referred to as a

electronegative than oxygen whereas CI2O is called chlorine

radii. Explain.

In noble gases, we can measure only van der Waals‘ radii which

are larger than covalent radii

How does xenon atom form

compounds with fluorine

even though the xenon atom

has a closed shell

configuration?

This is because 1, 2 or 3 electrons from the 5p-orbitals can be

orbitals available for bond formation

What prompted Bartlett to

prepare first noble gas

compounds.

Barlett observed ionization of energy of O2 is 1180 kJ mol-1

whereas that of Xe is 1170 kJ mol-1.

He could prepare O2 pt F6 which prompted him to prepare

first noble gas compound Xe+ [Pt F6].

Noble gases have very low

boiling points. Why?

Noble gases being monoatomic have no interatomic forces except

weak dispersion forces and therefore, they are liquefied at very

low temperatures. Hence, they have low boiling points.

H3PO2 and H3PO3 act as as

good reducing agents while

H3PO4 does not.

Both H3 PO2 and H3PO3 have P-H bonds, so they act as reducing

agents, but H3PO4, has no P-H bonds, so it cannot act as a

reducing agent.

ICI is more reactive than I2 Because ICI has less bond dissociation enthalpy than I2.

NH3 is a stronger base than

PH3

This is because the lone pair of electrons on N atom in NH3 is

directed and not diffused as it is in PH3 due to larger size of

phosphorus and hence more available for donation.

Sulphur has a greater

tendency for catenation

than oxygen.

Sulphur has a greater tendency for catenation than oxygen

because W-S bond is stronger than O-O bond due to less

interelectronic repulsions.

Bond dissociation energy of

F2 is less than that of CI2

This is due to relatively large electron- electron repulsion among

the lone pairs in F2 molecule where they are much closer to each

other than in case of CI2.

SF4 is easily hydrolysed

whereas SF6 is not easily

hydrolysed.

S atom in SF4 is not sterically protected as it is surrounded by

only four F atoms, so attack of H2O molecules can take place

easily and hence hydrolysis takes place easily. In contract, in SF6,

S is sterically protected by six F atoms. Therefore does not allow

H2O molecules to attack S atoms. As a result of this, SF6 does

not undergo hydrolysis.

XeF2 has a straight linear

structure and not a bent

angular structure

In Xe F2, Xe is sp3d hybridized having 2 bond pair and 3 lone pair

of electrons. The presence of 3 lone of electrons in Xe F2 at

equidistance to have minimum repulsion is responsible for its

linear structure.

NCl3 gets readily

hydrolysed while NF3 does

not.

In NCI3, CI has vacant d-orbitals to accept the lone pair of

electrons donated by O-atom of H2O molecule but in NF3, F does

not have d-orbitals

Elemental nitrogen exists as

a diatomic molecule whereas

elemental phosphorus is a

tetraatomic molecule.

Nitrogen because of its small size forms pπ- pπ multiple bonds

with other nitrogen atoms and thus it exists as a diatomic

molecule (N=N or N2 ). Phosphorus, on the other hand, because of

its large size usually does not form pπ- pπ multiple bonds with

other phosphorus atoms but instead forms single bonds.

Consequently, it exists as a stable tetraatomic (P4)

DAV CENTENARY PUBLIC SCHOOL, PASCHIM ENCLAVE, NEW DELHI - 87

Page 31

Molecule.

PH3 has lower boiling point

than NH3.

The electronegativity of N (3.0) is much higher than that of

P(2.1). So, NH3 undergoes extensive intermolecular H-bonding and

hence it exists as an associated molecule. To break these H-

bonds, a large amount of energy is needed. On the other hand,

PH3 does not undergo H-bonding and thus exists as discrete

molecules. Therefore, the boiling point of PH3 is much

lower than that of NH3.

PF5 is known but NF5 is not

known

P has vacant 3d-orbitals in its valence shell while N does not have.

As a result, P can form additional bonds to give PF5 while N

cannot extend its covalency beyond three and hence it forms only

NF3 but not NF5.

Unlike phosphorus, nitrogen

shows little tendency for

catenation

Catenation (i.e., linking of atoms .of the same kind with one

another) is related to the atom-atom bond energy. Greater the

atom-atom bond energy, greater is the catenation. Because of low

N—N bond energy (1638 kJ mol-1) nitrogen shows little tendency

for catenation; P—P bond energy (2O1.6 kJ mol-1 ) is quite high,

hence, it shows more tendency for catenation than nitrogen.

Bismuth is a strong

oxidising agent in the

pentavalent state.

As the inert pair effect is very prominent in Bi, its + 5 oxidation

state is less stable than its + 3 oxidation state. In other words,

bismuth in the pentavalent state can easily accept two electrons

and thus gets reduced to trivalent bismuth.

Bi5+2e- Bi3+

Thus, it acts as a strong oxidising agent

When NaBr is heated with

produced but when NaC1 is

HCl is, produced.

itself gets oxidised to Br2.

2 HBr+ H2SO4 2H2O+ SO2 +Br2,

As a result, only Br2 is produced.

Similarly, NaCl reacts with conc. H2SO4 to form HCI but since

Cl2.

Page 32

only whereas other

members of its family show

oxidation states of +2, +4

and +6 as well

available for excitation of electrons. Further, it is the most

electronegative element of its family. Hence, it shows oxidation

state of -2 only. Other elements like sulphur have d-orbitals

available for excitation, thereby giving four and six half-filled

orbitals. Moreover, they can combine with more electronegative

elements. Hence, they show oxidation states of +2, +4 and +6 also

H2S acts only as a reducing

agent but SO2 acts both as

a reducing agent as well as

an oxidising agent.

The minimum oxidation number (O.N.) of S is — 2 while its

maximum O.N. is + 6. In SO2, the O.N. is +4, hence, it can not only

increase its O.N. by losing electrons but also reduce its O.N. by

gaining electrons. Thus, it acts both as a reducing agent as well as

an oxidising agent. In contrast, in. H2S, S has an O.N. of — 2.

Thus, it can only increase its U.N by losing electrons and hence

acts only as a reducing agent.

SF6 is known but SH6 is not

known

Fluorine being the strongest oxidising agent oxidises sulphur to

its maximum oxidation state of + 6 and thus forms SF6. In

contrast hydrogen being a very weak oxidising agent cannot

oxidise S to its maximum oxidation state of + 6 and hence does

not form SH6

Compounds of fluorine with

oxygen are called fluorides

of oxygen and not the

oxides of fluorine

This is because fluorine is more electronegative than oxygen.

SCI6 is not known but SF6

is known

Fluorine is a much stronger oxidising agent than chlorine,

therefore, it can easily oxidize sulphur to its maximum oxidation

state of + 6 and hence forms SF6. Chlorine being a weaker

oxidising agent can oxidise sulphur at the maximum to its + 4

oxidation state and hence can form SCI4 but not SCI6.

Sulphur exhibits greater

tendency for catenation

than selenium

As we move from S to Se, the atomic size increases and hence

the strength of E—E bond decreases. Thus, S—S bond is much

stronger than Se—Se bond consequently, S shows greater

tendency for catenation than selenium

Both NO and CIO2, are odd

electron species but NO

dimerises while CIO2 does

not

In NO, the odd electron on N is attracted b only one O-atom but

in ClO2, the odd electron on CI is attracted by two O-atoms.

Thus, the odd electron on N in NC) is localised while the odd

electron on CI in CIO2 is delocalised. Consequently, NO has a

tendency to dimerise but CIO2 does not.

Halogens have maximum

negative electron gain

enthalpy

Halogens have the smallest size in their respective periods

Although electron gain

enthalpy of fluorine is less

negative as compared to

chlorine, fluorine is a

stronger oxidising agent

than chlorine. Why?

It is due to

(i) low enthalpy of dissociation of F-F bond

(ii) high hydration enthalpy of F–

Fluorine exhibits only –1

oxidation state whereas

other halogens exhibit + 1, +

3, + 5 and + 7 oxidation

states also. Explain.

Fluorine is the most electronegative element and cannot exhibit

any positive oxidation state. Other halogens have d orbitals and

therefore, can expand their octets and show + 1, + 3, + 5 and + 7

Considering the parameters

such as bond dissociation

enthalpy, electron gain

enthalpy and hydration

enthalpy, compare the

oxidising power of F2 and

Cl2.

Electrode potential of F2 is higher than Cl2 so F2 is stronger

oxidizing agent than Cl2

ferrous chloride and not

ferric chloride. Why?

Its reaction with iron produces H2. 2 Fe+2HCl→FeCl +H2

Liberation of H2 prevents the formation of ferric chloride.

Why are halogens strong

oxidising agents?

Due to low bond dissociation energy, high electronegativity and

large negative electron gain enthalpy

The d & f BLOCK ELEMENTS

Scandium (Z = 21) is a

transition element but Zinc

(Z = 30) is not?

Incompletely filled 3d orbitals in case of scandium

Zn & Zn2+ have completely filled d orbitals (3d10)

Of the d4 species, Cr 2+ is

strongly reducing while

manganese (III) is strongly

oxidising

E° value for Cr 3+ /Cr2+ is negative (— 0.41 V) while as E° value

for Mn3+ /Mn 2+ is positive (+ 1.57 V). Thus, Cr2+ ions can easily

undergo oxidation to give Cr3+ ions and, therefore, act as strong

reducing agent. On the other hand, Mn 2+ can easily undergo

reduction to give Mn2+ and hence act as oxidising agent.

The d1 configuration is very

unstable in ions

The ions with d1 configuration have the tendency to lose the

only electron present in d-subshell to acquire stable d°

configuration. Therefore, they are unstable and undergo

oxidation or disproportionation

Disproportion reactions? Disproportion reactions are those reactions in which the same

substance undergoes oxidation as well as reduction. In

disproportionation reaction, oxidation number of an element

increases as well decreases to form two different products. For

example,

3MnO42- +4H+ 2MnO4

A transition metal exhibits

higher oxidation states in

oxides and fluorides.

A transition metal exhibits higher oxidation states in oxides and

fluorides because oxygen and fluorine are highly electronegative

elements, small in size (and strongest oxidising agents).

For example, osmium shows an oxidation states of +6 in OsF6

and vanadium shows an oxidation states of +5 in VO5

Transition elements show

variable oxidation states.

Transition element which

does not exhibit variable

oxidation state

Transition elements show variable oxidation states because

electrons in ns and (n —1) d-orbitals are available for bond

formation.

Sc

First ionization energies of

5d elements are higher than

those of 3d and 4d elements

Because of weak shielding (or screening) effect of 4f electrons,

the effective nuclear charge acting on the valence electrons in

5d elements is quite high. Hence, the first ionization energies of

5d elements are higher than those of 3d and 4d elements.

Transition elements show

paramagnetic behavior.

Substances containing unpaired electrons are said to be

paramagnetic. Transition elements contain unpaired electrons in

copper in oxidation state +2, i.e., Cu2+ has incompletely filled d-

subshell (3d9).

Oxidising power:VO2+ <

This is due to the increasing stability of the lower species

Account for the irregular

Due to the irregular variation of IE , sublimation enthalpies

E0 of Mn3+/Mn2+ is more

positive than that for

Explain.

Much larger third IE of Mn (where the required change

is d5 to d4) is mainly responsible for this.

Small size and high electronegativity O or F can oxidise the

metal to its highest oxidation state.

Which is a stronger reducing

agent Cr2+ or Fe2+ and why ?

Cr2+ is stronger reducing agent than Fe2+

Reason: d4 → d3 occurs in case of Cr2+ to Cr3+, d3 is stable

But d6 → d5 occurs in case of Fe2+ to Fe3+

What is meant by

disproportionation‘ of an

oxidation state? Give an

example.

When a particular oxidation state becomes less stable relative

to other oxidation states, one lower, one higher, it is said to

undergo disproportionation. For example, Mn (VI) becomes

unstable relative to Mn(VII) and Mn (IV) in acidic solution.

3 MnO4 2– + 4 H+ → 2 MnO4

Actinoid contraction is

Mn2+ more stable than Fe2+ It is because Mn2+ has 3d5 configuration which is stability.

Invert sugar Sucrose is dextrorotatory but after hydrolysis gives dextrorotatory glucose

and laevorotatory fructose. Since the laevorotation of fructose (–92.4°) is

more than dextrorotation of glucose (+ 52.5°), the mixture is laevorotatory.

Thus, hydrolysis of sucrose brings about a change in the sign of rotation,

from dextro (+) to laevo (–) and the product is named as invert sugar

NB: i) During reaction generally changes take place in the functional group only so see the

functional group very carefully.

ii) Remember structural formula of all the common organic compounds ( with their IUPAC

and common names)

iii) Wurtz Reaction and Aldol Condensation are not included in the table although they are

very important for conversions so study them .

iv) By taking examples practice all the above cases ( from 1 to 43 and Grignards reaction.)

vi) Start practicing NOW !

Example: - I > + R : - X , - CH=CH2 , -CH=CH-COOH , -CH2-Cl

These groups are deactivating but exceptionally o / p directing due to +E effect by the

attacking reagents electron density increases at ortho and para position .

If two groups are present initially

1. When both the groups present in benzene ring are o/p directing than the order of

influence

O- > NH2 > NR2 > OH > OCH3 > NHCOCH3 > CH3 > X

2. When both the groups present in benzene ring are meta directing than the order of

influence :

(CH3)3N+ > NO2 > CN > SO3H > CHO > COCH3 > COOH

3. When one group is o/p and another is m – directing than o/p directing group takes

priority
