CHAPTER 1- SOME BASIC CONCEPTS OF CHEMISTRY
Chemistry is the branch of Science that deals with the properties; structure and composition of
matter.There are a large number of branches for Chemistry. Some of them are: The International
System of Units (SI)
Matter: Matter is anything that occupies space, has a definite mass and can be perceived by any of
oursenseorgans.
Chemical Classification of matter--
Classification of matter
Matter can be divided into two categories – pure substances and mixtures.
Pure substances contain only one type of particles. These are further divided into two – elements and
compounds.
Elements are pure substances which contain only one type of particles. These particles may be atoms or
molecules. E.g. Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen (diatomic), Sodium, Potassium, Lithium, Calcium
(monoatomic), Phosphorus, Sulphur (polyatomic) etc.
Compounds are pure substances which contain more than one type of atoms in a fixed ratio by mass.
E.g. CO2, H2O, NH3, H2SO4 etc.
Mixtures contain more than one type of particles. There are two types of mixtures –Mixtures having
uniform composition throughout are called homogeneous mixtures. E.g. all type of solutions, air etc.

Mixtures having different compositions at different parts are called heterogeneous mixtures. E.g. sea
water, soil etc.
Mass and Weight: Mass is the amount of matter present in a body. It is a constant quantity. Its SI unit is
kilogram (kg). Weight is the gravitational force acting on a body. It is a variable quantity. i.e. it changes
with place. Its SI unit is newton (N).
Temperature (T) It is the degree of hotness or coldness of a body. It is commonly expressed in degree
Celsius (0C). Other units are degree Fahrenheit (0F), Kelvin (K) etc. its SI unit is Kelvin (K).
Degree Celsius and degree Fahrenheit are related as:
0
F = 9/5(0C) + 32
Degree Celsius and Kelvin are related as:
K =0C+273.15
Laws of chemical combination
Law of Conservation of Mass : In a chemical change total mass remains conserved. i.e. mass before
reaction is always equal to mass after reaction.
Law of Definite Proportions: It states that a given compound always contains exactly the same
proportion of elements by weight. All chemical compounds are found to have constant composition
irrespective of their method of preparation or sources
Example: In water (H2O), Hydrogen and Oxygen combine in 2 : 1 molar ratio, this ratio remains constant
whether it is tap water, river water or sea water or produced by any chemical reaction.
Law of Multiple Proportions: States that if two elements can combine to form more than one compound,
the masses of one element that combine with a fixed mass of the other element, are in the ratio of small
whole numbers. For example, hydrogen combines with oxygen to form two compounds, namely, water
and hydrogen peroxide.
➢ Hydrogen(2g) + Oxygen(16g) → Water(18g)
➢ Hydrogen(2g) + Oxygen(32g) →Hydrogen Peroxide(34g)
Here, the masses of oxygen (i.e. 16 g and 32 g) which combine with a fixed mass of hydrogen (2g) bear a
simple ratio, i.e. 16:32 or 1: 2.
Gay Lussac’s Law of Gaseous Volumes: According to him elements combine in a simple ratio of atoms,
gases combine in a simple ratio of their volumes provided all measurements should be done in the same
temperature and pressure.
H2(g) + Cl2(g) → 2HCl

1 vol 1 vol2 vol
Avogadro’s hypothesis: Equal volumes of all gases have equal number of molecules (not atoms) at same
temperature and pressure condition. S.T.P. (Standard Temperature and Pressure) At S.T.P. condition:
temperature = 0ºC or 273 K Pressure = 1 atm = 760 mm of Hg and volume of one mole of gas at STP is
found to be experimentally equal to 22.4 litres which is known as molar volume.
DALTON’S ATOMIC THEORY

lOMoARcPSD|27194696
 The important postulates of this theory are:

 Matter is made up of minute and indivisible particles called atoms.
 Atoms can neither be created nor be destroyed.
 Atoms of same element are identical in their properties and mass. While atoms of different elements
have different properties and mass.
 Atoms combined to form compound atoms called molecules.
 When atoms combine, they do so in a fixed ratio by mass.
Atomic mass unit/unified mass: One atomic mass unit is defined as a mass exactly equal to one twelfth
the mass of one carbon - 12 atom.
e.g. atomic mass of Nitrogen is 14, which means that mass of one N atom is 14 times greater than
1/12th the mass of a C12 atom. 1/12th the mass of a C12 atom is called atomic mass unit (amu). Today,
‘amu’ has been replaced by ‘u’ which is known as unified mass.
Average atomic mass: All most all the elements have isotopes. So we can calculate an average atomic
mass of an element by considering the atomic mass of the isotopes and their relative abundance. For
e.g. chlorine has two isotopesCl35and Cl37inthe ratio 3:1. So the average atomic mass Cl = (3x35 +1x37)/4
=35.5
Molecular mass: It is the sum of atomic masses of the elements present in a molecule. It is obtained by
multiplying the atomic mass of each element by the number of its atoms and adding them together.
Formula mass: In the case of ionic compounds (like NaCl), there is no discrete (separate) molecules.
Here the positive ions and the negative ions are arranged in a three-dimensional structure. So we can
calculate only formula mass by taking molecular formula of the compound.
Mole concept
Mole: Mole is the unit of amount of substance. It is defined as the amount of substance that contains
asmany particles as there are atoms in exactly 12 g C12 isotope. 1 mole of any substance contains 6.022
x1023 atoms. This number is known as Avogadro numberor Avogadro constant (NAor N0).
1mol of hydrogen atoms =6.022×1023 atoms

1molof water molecules =6.022×1023 water molecules
1mol of sodium chloride =6.022 ×1023formulaunits of sodium chloride
Molar mass: The mass of one mole of a substance in gram is called its molar mass (gram molecular
mass).
Molar volume: It is the volume of 1 mole of any substance at STP. Molar volume of any gas = 22.4L
e.g. 22.4 L of hydrogen gas = 1 mole of H2 = 6.022x1023 molecules of hydrogen = 2 g of H2
Percentage composition: It is the percentage of each element present in 100g of a substance. Percentage
of an element =
Empirical Formula and Molecular Formula—

An empirical formula represents the simplest whole number ratio of various atoms present in a
compound. Eg. CH is the empirical formula of benzene.
The molecular formula shows the exact number of different types of atoms present in a molecule of a
compound. Eg. C6H6 is the molecular formula of benzene.

CHAPTER 2- STRUCTURE OF ATOM
DISCOVERY OF SUB ATOMIC PARTICLES

01. DISCOVERYOFELECTRON: J.J. Thomson is credited with discovering the electron and its characteristics
through tests conducted in a discharge tube. Subatomic particles with an elementary charge of -1 are
known as electrons.
02. CHARGETOMASS RATIOOF ELECTRON
J.J. Thomson measured the ratio of electrical charge (e) to the mass of electron (me ) by using cathode
ray tube and applying electrical and magnetic field perpendicular to each other as well as to the path of
electrons.
e/me=1.758820 x1011Ckg-1
Where me=Mass of the electron in kg
e=magnitude of charge on the electron in coulomb (C).
03. Discoveryof proton
In 1886, Goldstein modified the discharge tube by using a perforated cathode. On reducing the
pressure, he observed a new type of luminous rays passing through the holes or perforations of the
cathode and moving in a direction opposite to the cathode rays. These rays were named as positive rays
or anode rays or as canal rays. Anode rays are not emitted from the anode but from a space between
anode and cathode.
Proton: The smallest and lightest positive ion was obtained from hydrogen and was called proton. Mass
ofproton= 1.676 x10-27kg
Chargeon aproton =(+)1.602 x10-19C
04. Neutron: Itisaneutralparticle. Itwasdiscovered by Chadwick(1932).

Atomic number (Z): Number of protons in the nucleus of an atom = Number of electrons in the extra
nuclear part of the electrically neutral atom.
Mass number (A) : Number of protons + Number of neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.
TYPES OF ATOMIC SPECIES
01. Isotopes: Atoms of same element having same atomic number but different mass number.
For example, isotopes of Hydrogen are 1 H1, 1H2, 1H3
02. Isobars: Atoms of different elements having the same mass number but different atomic number,
e.g., 18Ar40, 19K40, 20Ca40
03. Isotones: Atoms of different elements which contain the same number of neutrons.
e.g., 6C14, 7N15, 8O16
04. Isoelectronic Species: Atoms or ions containing the same number of electrons+ For example, N3–, O-2 , F2–
, Na+ , Mg2+ , Al 3+ and Ne, having 10 electrons each are isoelectronic
Thomson Model of Atom: An atom possesses a spherical shape (radius approximately 10–10 m) in which
the positive charge is uniformly distributed. The electrons are embedded into it in such a manner as to
give the most stable electrostatic arrangement.
An important feature of this model is that the mass of the atom is assumed to be uniformly distributed
over the atom.
Drawback of Thomson Model of Atom
This model was able to explain the overall neutrality of the atom, it could not satisfactorily, explain the
results of scattering experiments carried out by Rutherford in 1911.
Rutherford’s Model of atom: This model was based upon the results of the famous alpha-rays scattering
experiment. It is also known as ‘Planetary model’ and can be summarized in following points.
(i) Most of the mass and all the positive charge of an atom are present in a very small region called
the nucleus.
(ii) The magnitude of the charge on the nucleus is different in atoms of different elements.
(iii) Electrons revolve in the space around nucleus in different circular orbits and the number of
electrons is equal to the number of units of positive charge in the nucleus.
Drawbacks of Rutherford Model
(iv) Rutherford’s model cannot explain the stability of atom if the motion of electrons is described on

lOMoARcPSD|27194696
the basis of classical mechanics and electromagnetic theory.

(v) Rutherford’s model does not give any idea about distribution of electrons around the nucleus
and about their energies.
DEVELOPMENTS LEADING TO THE BOHR’S MODEL OF ATOM -Two developments played a major role in
the formulation of Bohr’s model of atom. These were:
(I) Dual character of the electromagnetic radiation which means that radiations possess both wave
like and particle like properties.
(II) Experimental results regarding atomic spectra which can be explained only by assuming
quantized electronic energy levels in atoms.
Bohr’s Model of Atom Niels Bohr in 1913, proposed a new model of atom on the basis of Planck’s
Quantum Theory.The main points of this model are as follows:
(i) In an atom, the electrons revolve around the nucleus in certain definite circular paths called orbits.
(ii) Each orbit is associated with definite energy and therefore these are known as energy levels or
energy shells.These are numbered as 1, 2, 3, 4……….. Or K, L, M, N………..
(iii) Only those energy orbits are permitted for the electron in which angular momentum of the electron
is a whole number multiple ofh/2π
Angular momentum of electron (mvr) = (n =1, 2, 3, 4 etc).
m= mass of the electron v = tangential velocity of the revolving electron. r=radius of the orbit.
h=Planck’s constant. n is an integer.
(iv) As long as electron is present in a particular orbit, it neither absorbs nor loses energy and its energy,
therefore, remains constant.
(v) When energy is supplied to an electron, it absorbs energy only in fixed amounts as quanta and jumps
to higher energy state away from the nucleus known as excited state. The excited state is unstable, the
electron may jump back to the lower energy state and in doing so, it emits the same amount of
energy.(∆E=E2–E1).
(vi) The radius of orbits can be given by the equation: rn=a0n2wherea0=52.9 pm.
Thus the radius of the first stationary state is 52.9 pm (called the Bohr radius). As n increases, the value
of r will increase.
(vii) It is also possible to calculate the velocities of electrons moving in these orbits. Qualitatively the
magnitude of velocity of electron increases with increase of positive charge on the nucleus and
decreases with increase of principal quantum number.
(viii) The energy of different orbits in an atom in given by the expression

lOMoARcPSD|27194696
Achievements of Bohr’sTheory
1. Bohr’s theory has explained the stability of an atom.
2. Bohr’s theory has helped in calculating the energy of electron in hydrogen atom and one
electron species.
Limitations of Bohr Atom Model
Bohr atom model could explain the stability and line spectra of hydrogen atom and hydrogen like ions
(e.g.He+, Li2+, Be3+etc).But it has the following limitations:
1. It could not explain the fine spectrum of hydrogen atom.
2. It could not explain the spectrum of atoms other than hydrogen.
3. It was unable to explain the splitting of spectral lines in the presence of electric field (Stark
effect) and in magnetic field (Zeeman Effect).
4. It could not explain the ability of atoms to form molecules by chemical bonds.
5. It did not consider the wave characterof matter and Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle.
Dual Behaviour of Matter (deBroglie Equation)
De Broglie in 1924, proposed that matter, like radiation, should also exhibit dual behaviour i.e., both
particle like and wave like properties. This means that like photons, electrons also have momentum as
well as wavelength.
λ= =
Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle

It states that, “It is impossible to determine simultaneously, the exact position and exact momentum (or
velocity) of an electron”.
Δx.Δp ≥ , Δx.mΔv≥ Δx.Δv ≥

lOMoARcPSD|27194696
Significance of Uncertainty Principle

 It rules out existence of definite paths or trajectories of electrons and other similar particles.
 The effect of Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle is significant only for microscopic objects and is
negligible for macroscopic objects.
Reasons for the Failure of Bohr Model
 The wave character of the electron is not considered in Bohr Model.
 According to Bohr Model an orbit is a clearly defined path and this path can completely be
defined only if both the position and the velocity of the electron are known exactly at the same
time. This is not possible according to the Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle.
QuantumMechanicalModelof Atom
Quantum mechanics: Quantum mechanics is a theoretical science that deals with the study of the
motions of the microscopic objects that have both observable wave like and particle like properties.
Important Features of Quantum Mechanical Model of Atom:
(i) The energy of electrons in atom is quantized i.e., can only have certain values.
(ii) The existence of quantized electronic energy level is a direct result of the wave like properties of
electrons.
(iii) Both the exact position and exact velocity of an electron in an atom cannot be determined
simultaneously.
(iv) An atomic orbital has wave function φ. There are many orbitals in an atom. Electron occupies an
atomic orbital which has definite energy. An orbital cannot have more than two electrons. The orbitals
are filled in increasing order of energy. All the information about the electron in an atom is stored in
orbital wavefunction𝚿.
(v) The probability of finding electron at a point within an atom is proportional to square of orbital wave
functioni.e.,|𝚿2|at that point.It is known as probability density and is always positive.
From the value of 𝚿2 at different points within atom, it is possible to predict the region around the
nucleus where electrons most probably will be found.
Quantum Numbers
Atomic orbitals can be specified by giving their corresponding energies and angular momentums which
are quantized (i.e., they have specific values). The quantized values can be expressed in terms of
quantum number.These are used to get complete information about electron i.e., its location, energy,
spinetc.
The principal quantum number gives us the following information:
The following information’s are obtained from n.
1. It gives the size the orbit.
2. It gives the energy of electron in an orbit.
3. It gives the shell in which the electron is found.
4. It also gives the average distance between the electron and the nucleus. As the value of n
increases, the distance between the electron and the nucleus also increases.
The possible values of n are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 etc.
If n = 1 the electron is in K shell n=2 the electron is in L shell
n=3 the electron is in M shell and soon.
5. The maximum number of electrons in the shell with principal quantum number n is equal to 2(n2).
Azimuthal or Subsidiary or Orbital Angular Quantum Number (l)
The following information’s are obtained from Ɩ.
1. It gives the shape of the orbital.
2. It gives the sub shell or sub level in which the electron is located.
3. It also gives the orbital angular momentum of the electron.
4. The values of l =0 to (n-1)
The number of sub shells in a principal shell is equal to the value of n. For example,
When n =1, Ɩ=0. i.e. K shell contains only one sub shell-s sub shell
When n =2, Ɩ =0 and 1.i.e.L shell contains two sub shells-sandp sub shells

lOMoARcPSD|27194696
When n =3, Ɩ=0, 1 and 2. i.e. M shell containsthreesubshells– s,p anddsub shells
When n=4,Ɩ=0,1, 2and 3.i.e.Nshellcontainsfoursubshells–s, p,dandf subshells
4. The number ofelectronsthat can beaccommodated in sub-energylevelis equal to2(2l+1).
If l=0 for s orbital then= 2(2*1+1)=2 electrons
If l=1 for p orbital then=2(2*2+1)=6 electrons
If l=2 for d orbital then= 2(2*3+1)=10 electrons
If l =3 for f orbital then=2(2*3+1)=14 electrons
Magnetic Orbital Quantum Number(m or ml)

1. The magnetic orbital quantum number determines the number of preferred orientations of the
electronspresentin asub-shell.
2. The magnetic quantum number is denoted by letter m and for a given value of l, it can have all
the values ranging from –l to +l including ero.
Thus, for energy value of l, m has 2l + 1 values. For example,
Forl = 0 (s-sub-shell), mcan have only one value i.e., m =0.
This means that s-sub-shell has only one orientation in space. In other words, s-subshell has only one
orbital called s-orbital.
Spin Quantum Number (S or ms)
This quantum number helps to explain the magnetic properties of the substances. A spinning electron
behaves like a micro-magnet with a definite magnetic moment. If an orbital contains two electrons, the
two magnetic moments oppose and cancel each other.
SHAPES OF ORBITALS
Shapes of s-orbitals s-orbital with only one orientation has a spherical shape with uniform electron
density along all the three axes. The plots of probability density (ψ2) against distance from the nucleus
(r) for 1s and 2s atomic orbitals are as follows:
The probability of 1s electron is found to be maximum near the nucleus and decreases with the increase
in the distance from the nucleus. In 2s electron, the probability is also maximum near the nucleus and
decreases to zero probability. The spherical empty shell for 2s electron is called nodal surface or simply
node.
Shapes of p-orbitals
p-orbitals are present in the p-subshell for which l = 1 and m1 can have three possible orientations – 1,
0, +1.
Thus, there are three orbitals in the p-subshell which are designated as px, py and pz orbitals depending
upon the axis along which they are directed. The general shape of a p-orbital is dumb-bell consisting of
two portions known as lobes. Moreover, there is a plane passing through the nucleus along which

lOMoARcPSD|27194696
finding of the electron density is almost nil. This is known as nodal planeas shown in the fig.
From the dumb-bell pictures, it is quite obvious that unlike s-orbital, a p-orbital is directional in nature
and hence it influences the shapes of the molecules in the formation of which it participates.
Number of radial nodes = n - Ɩ – 1
Number of angular nodes = Ɩ
Total number of nodes = n-1
Shapes of d-orbitals
For d-orbitals, Ɩ = 2 and mƖ = -2, -1, 0, +1 and +2. i.e., there are five possible orientations for
d orbitals. So there are 5types of d-orbitals. They are dxy, dxz, dyz, dx2-y2 and dz2. . The shapes of the
first four d- orbitals are double dumb-bell and that of the fifth one, dz2, is dumb-bell having a circular
collar in the XY- plane. The five d-orbitals have equivalent energies. For d orbitals the number of radial
nodes is 2 and the total number of nodes is n-2. Boundary surface diagrams for d-orbitals areas follows.
orbitals:
For f-orbitals, Ɩ = 3 and mƖ = -3, -2, -1, 0, +1, +2 and +3. i.e., there are seven possible orientations for
f-orbitals. So there are 7 types of f-orbitals. They have diffused shapes.
Electronic Configuration of Atoms

The distribution of electrons into orbitals of an atom is called its electronic configuration. The electronic
configuration is explained based on Aufbau principle, Hund’s rule, Pauli’s exclusion principle and
stabilityconcept.
1.Aufbau principle:

lOMoARcPSD|27194696
The principle states: In the ground state of the atoms, the orbitals are filled in order of their increasing
energies.
In other words, electrons first occupy the lowest energy orbital available to them and enter into higher
energy orbitals only after the lower energy orbitals are filled.
This rule has two sub rules:
a) The various orbitals are filled in the increasing order of their (n+l) value.
b) If two orbitals have the same (n+l) values, the orbital with the lower n value is filled first. The
increasing order of orbitals is as follows.
PauliExclusionPrinciple
According to this principle, no two electrons in an atom can have the same set of four quantum
numbers.Only two electrons may exist in the same orbital and these electrons must have opposite
spins.If 2 electrons have same values forn, Ɩ and m, they should have different values for s. i.e.if s = +1/2.
for the first electron,it should be-1/2. For the second electron.
3.Hund’s rule of maximum multiplicity
It states that: pairing of electrons in the orbitals belonging to the same sub-shell (p, d or f) does not take
place until each orbital belonging to that sub-shell has got one electron each with parallel spin. For
example the electronic configuration of N is 1s22s22p1p1p1 and not 1s22s22p2p1
Stability of Completely Filled and Half Filled Subshells

For atoms having half filled or completely filled electronic configurations have extra stability compared
to other atoms. This is due to their symmetrical distribution of electrons and greater exchange energy.
For example, the electronic configuration of Cr is [Ar] 3d54s1 and not 3d44s2. This is because d5
represents a half filled configuration and has extra stability. Similarly for Cu the electronic configuration
is [Ar] 3d104s1 and not 3d94s2.
Cr(24)= [Ar] 3d5 4s1not [Ar] 3d4 4s2

Similarly Cu(29)=[Ar]3d10 4s1not [Ar]3d94s2

S.N Q&A
.
01. Why Pauli Exclusion Principle is called exclusion principle?
Ans: This is because according to this principle, if one electron in an atom has some particular
values for the four quantum numbers, then all the other electrons in that atom are excluded
from having the same set of values.
02. What is quantisation of energy?

Ans: Quantization of energy means the energy is distributed and transmitted in the form of
packets. These packets are called photons.
03. What is the uncertainty in locating its position? [Given, me = 9.11 × 10–31 kg]
An electron speed of 40 m s–1 accurate upto 99.9 percent
Ans:
04. Heinsberg uncertainty principle has no significance in our everyday life. Explain.
Ans: In our daily life we can see only the moving macro and semi-micro-objects. The mass of
the striking photons of light is too small to cause any shift in their position by the time the
reflected photons form the image of the object. For such particles, there is no problem in
measuring the exact momentum simultaneously. Thus, the principle has no relevance for such
objects.
05. Out of 3d and 4s orbitals which is filled first?
Ans: 4s orbital is filled first because it has lower energy. The energies of the orbitals can be
compared by their n+l values. For 4s orbital n+l(4+0) value is 4 while for 3d orbital, n+l (3+2)
value is 5,Therefore 4s orbital is filled before3d orbital.
06. How many electrons can be filled in all the orbitals with n+l=5?
Ans: (n+l)=5 has 5s,4p and 3d orbitals with two, six and ten electrons respectively. Therefore,
the total number of electrons=18.

CASE BASED QUESTION
01. Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow based on passage and related
studied concepts.

lOMoARcPSD|27194696
Orbitals are region or space where there is maximum probability of finding electrons.
Qualitatively, these orbitals can be distinguished by their size, shape and orientation. An
orbital of small size means there is more chance of finding the electron near the nucleus.
Shape and orientation means the direction in which probability of finding electron is
maximum. Atomic orbitals can be distinguished by quantum numbers. Each orbital is
designated by three quantum numbers n, l and ml (magnetic quantum number) which define
energy, shape and orientation but these are not sufficient to explain spectra of multi-electrons
atoms. Spin quantum number (ms) determines the spin of electron. Spin angular momentum
of electron has two orientations relative to chosen axis which are distinguished by spin
quantum numbers ms which can take values +1/2 and –1/2
(a) How many orbitals are associated with n = 3?

02. Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow:
Bohr's model explained electrons can revolve only in certain permitted orbits whose angular
momentum is integral multiple of h/2π, associated with fixed amount of energy. Bohr theory
could successfully explain stability of atoms and spectrum of unielectron species. Hydrogen
spectrum consists of Lyman, Balmer, Paschen, Brackett and Pfund series. Bohr's theory could
not explain spectrum of multi-electron species, Stark effect, Zeeman effect, dual nature of
matter, de Broglie equation and Heisenberg uncertainty principle which lead to orbital
concept. Electrons were filled in orbitals according to Aufbau's principle, Hund's Rule and
Pauli's exclusion principle. Each electron is identified by four quantum numbers n, l, ml and
ms out which n, l, ml were derived from Schrodinger's wave equation. Half filled and
completely filled orbitals are more stable due to exchange energy and symmetrical
distribution of electrons.

UNIT -3 CLASSIFICATION OF ELEMENTS AND PERIODICITY IN PROPERTIES
1. Dobereiner's Triads: In 1817 a German chemist Doberneiner identified certain groups of three
elements.
These groups of three elements having similar properties were called triads. When three elements were
arranged in order of their increasing atomic masses, the atomic mass of the middle element was roughly
the mean of the atomic masses of the other two element Examples
Elements Li Na K
At.mass 7 23 39 7 + 39 / 2 = 23
Elements Fe Co Ni
At.mass 55.85 58.93 58.71 nearly same atomic masses It was restricted to few elements, therefore,
discarded.
2. New Lands Law of octaves: When elements were arranged in order of their increasing relative atomic
masses. The properties of every eight elements were similar to the first one, like the eighth note of a
musical scale.This repetition in the properties of elements is just like the repetition of eighth node in an
octave of music.
This arrangement of elements is called as Newland’s law of Octave.
Li Be B C N O F
Na Mg Al Si P S Cl
K Ca
This classification worked quite well for the lighter elements but it failed in case of heavier elements and
therefore, discarded.
3. Mendeleev's Periodic Law: The physical and chemical properties of elements are the periodic function of
their atomic masses.
4. Mendeleev's Periodic Table: When mendeleev started his work, 63 elements were known at that time. He
selected hydrogen and oxygen as they are very reactive and formed compounds with most elements.
Mendeleev's periodic table contains vertical columns called groups and horizontal rows called periods.

lOMoARcPSD|27194696
There were 7 periods and 8 groups. Noble gases were not known at that time. So there was no group of
noble gases.The elements in each group of the periodic tables are similar to one another in many
properties. The similar properties of the elements are repeated periodically
(a).Merits of mendeleev's classification
 Mendeleev's periodic law predicted the existence of some elements that had not been discovered
at that time
 Could accommodate noble gases when they were discovered.
 Mendeleevs predicted the properties of those missing elements from the known properties of the
other elements in the same group. Eka – aluminium and Eka-silicon names were given for gallium
and germanium (not discovered at the time of Mendeleevs). Properties predicted by Mendeleevs
for these elements and those found experimentally were almost similar.

(b) .Limitations of Mendeleev's classification:-
 The correct position could not be assigned to the hydrogen in the periodic table.
 Wrong order of the atomic masses of some elements could not be explained.
 Anomalous position of lanthanides and actinides in periodic table.
 The position of isotopes could not be explained.
 Order of increasing atomic weights is not strictly followed in the arrangement of elements in the
periodic table. For example Ar(39.94) is placed before K(39.08) and Te (127.6) is placed before I
(126.9)
 Similar elements were placed in different groups (Cu lB an Hg llB) and the elements with different
properties were placed in same groups (alkali metals lA and coinage metals lB)
 It didn’t explain the cause of periodicity. Uncertainity in prediction of new elements was there.
5. Modern Periodic law (Moseley’s Periodic Law) : Physical and chemical properties of elements are the
periodic functions of their atomic number. If the elements are arranged in order of their increasing
atomic number, after a regular interval, elements with similar properties are repeated.
6. Cause of Periodicty: The periodic repetition of the properties of the elements is due to the reocurrence of
similar valence shell electronic configuration after certain regular intervals. For example, alkali metals
have same electronic configuration ns1, therefore, have similar properties.
7. Modern Periodic Table: The long form of periodic table is the contribution of Range, Werner, Bohr and
Bury.This table is also referred to as Bohr’s table since it follows Bohr’s scheme of the arrangements of
elements into four types based on electronic configuration of elements.
 The table consists of 18 vertical columns called groups Elements having similar outer electronic
configurations in their atoms are arranged in vertical columns, referred to as groups.According to the
recommendation of International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC), the groups are
numbered from 1 to 18 .

lOMoARcPSD|27194696
 The table consists of 7 horizontal rows called periods. Each period starts with an alkali metal having
outermost electronic configuration ns1. Each period ends with a noble gas with outer most electronic
configuration ns2np6 except helium having outermost electronic configuration 1s2. The first period
contains 2 elements. The subsequent periods consists of 8, 8, 18, 18 and 32 elements, respectively.
The seventh period is incomplete and like the sixth period would have a theoretical maximum (on the
basis of quantum numbers) of 32 elements. In this form of the Periodic Table, 14 elements of both
sixth and seventh periods (lanthanoids and actinoids, respectively) are placed in separate panels at
the bottom.

We can classify the elements into four blocks viz., s-block, p-block, d-block and f-block depending on the
typeof atomic orbital that are being filled with electrons.
9. s-Block Elements (s-block elements lie on the extreme left of the periodic table.)
 Group 1 (alkali metals) & 2 (alkaline earth metals) elements constitute the s-block.
 General electronic configuration is [inert gas] ns1-2

lOMoARcPSD|27194696
 This block includes metals.

10. p-Block Elements (P-block elements lie on the extreme right of the periodic table)
 Group 13 to 18 elements constitute the p-block.
 General electronic configuration is [inert gas] ns2np1-6
 This block includes some metals, all non-metals and metalloids.
11. The p-Block Elements together with the s-Block Elements are called the Representative Elements or
MainGroup Elements.
12. d-Block Elements
 Group 3 to 12 elements constitute the d-block.
 General electronic configuration is [inert gas] (n - 1) d1-10 ns0-2
 All the transition elements are metals and most of them formed coloured complexes or ions.
 d-block elements are classified into four series
Series Elements (n-1) d being
filled
3d 21Sc – 30Zn 3d
4d 39 Y – 48Cd 4d
5d 6d 57La, 72Hf -
80Hg 5d 6d (incomplete
89Ac, 104Rf-112 series)
Uub
 Those elements which have partially filled d-orbitals in neutral state or in any stable oxidation
state are called transition elements.
13. f-Block Elements
 General electronic configuration is (n - 2) f1-14 (n - 1) d0,1 ns2
 All f-block elements belong to 3rd group. They are metals.
 Within each series, the properties of the elements are quite similar.
 The elements coming after uranium are called transuranic elements.
 They are also called as inner-transition elements as they contain three outer most shell
incomplete and were also referred to as rare earth elements since their oxides were rare in
earlierdays.
 The elements of f-blocks have been classified into two series, lanthanoids and actinoids.
 Ist inner transition or 4 f-series or lanthanoids, contains 14 elements 58Ce to 71Lu. Filling of
electrons takes placein 4f subshell.
 IInd inner transition or 5 f-series or actinoids, contains 14 elements 90Th to103Lr. Filling of
electrons takes place in 5f subshell. The actinides and lanthanides have been placed at the
bottom of the periodic tableto avoid the undue expansion of the periodic table.
14. Prediction of period, group and block :
 Period of an element corresponds to the principal quantum number of the valence shell.
 The block of an element corresponds to the type of subshell which receives the last electron.
 The group is predicted from the number of electrons in the valence shell or/and penultimate shell
asfollows.
(a) For s-block elements
Group number = the no. of valence electrons
(b) For p-block elements
Group number = 10 + no. of valence electrons
(c) For d-Block elements
Group number = no. of electrons in (n - 1) d sub shell + no. of electrons in valence shell.
15. PERIODICITY: The repetition of similar properties after regular intervals is called periodicity.
16. Cause of Periodicity: The properties of elements are the periodic repetition of similar electronic

lOMoARcPSD|27194696
configuration of elements as the atomic number increases.

17. ATOMIC RADIUS -
 The distance from the centre of the nucleus to the outermost shell of the electrons in the atom
of any element is called its atomic radius.
 Probability of finding the electron is never zero even at large distance from the nucleus. Based
on probability concept, an atom does not have well defined boundary. Hence exact value of the
atomic radius can’t be evaluated.
 Atomic radius is taken as the effective size which is the distance of the closet approach of one
atom to another atom in a given bonding state.
18. COVALENT RADIUS- It is one-half of the distance between the centres of two nuclei (of like atoms)
bonded by a single covalent bond. Covalent radius is generally used for non-metals .
19. VAN DER WAALS’ RADIUS: It is one-half of the internuclear distance between two adjacent atoms in two
nearest neighbouring molecules of the substance in solid state.
20. Comparision of covalent radius and van der Waal’s radius

 The van der Waal’s force of attractions are weak, therefore, their internuclear distances in case of
atoms held by van der Waal’s force are much larger than those of between covalently bonded atoms.
Therefore van der Waal’s radii are always larger than covalent radii.
 A covalent bond is formed by the overlapping of two half-filled atomic orbitals, a part of the orbital
becomes common. Therefore, covalent radii are always smaller than the van der Waals radii. For
example,
Elements H O F S B

21. METALLIC RADIUS: It is one-half of the distance between the nuclei of two adjacent metal atoms in the
metallic crystal lattice.
22. Van der Waals’radius > Metallic radius > Covalent radius, rcovalent < rcrystal <rvander Walls

23. IONIC RADIUS: The effective distance from the centre of the nucleus of an ion upto which it
has aninfluence on its electron cloud is called its ionic radius
24. Variation in Atomic Radius
Variation in Atomic Radius in Period Variation in Atomic Radius in Group

Atomic size decreases with increase in atomic Atomic size atom increases from top to bottom
number in a period from left to right in agiven group.
25. The atomic radii of noble gases are not considered here. Being monoatomic, their (non-bonded radii)
values are very large. In fact radii of noble gases should be compared not with the covalent radii but
with the van der Waals radii of other elements.
26. Ionic radius: The effective distance from the centre of nucleus of the ion up to which it has an influence
in the ionic bond is called ionic radius.
27. A cation is smaller than its parent atom because in a Cation, the number of positive charges on the
nucleus is greater than the number of orbital electrons leading to increased inward pull of remaining
electrons causing contraction in size of the ion. For example the atomic radius of sodium is 186 pm
compared to the ionic radius of 95 pm for Na+.
For example : Na Na+
Number of Electrons : 11 10
Number of Protons : 11 11
28. The size of an anion will be larger than that of the parent atom because the addition of one or more
electrons would result in increased repulsion among the electrons and a decrease in effective nuclear
charge. For example, the ionic radius of fluoride ion (F– ) is 136 pm whereas the atomic radius of
fluorine is only 64 pm.
Cl Cl-
Number of Electrons : 17 18
Number of Protons : 17 17
29. Isoelectronic species: The species containing the same number of electrons but differ in the
magnitude of their nuclear charges are called as isoelectronic species. For example, N3-, O2- , F- , Ne, Na+
, Mg2+ and Al3+ are all isoelectronic species with same number of electrons (i.e. 10) but different
nuclear charges of +7, +8, +9, +10, +11, +12 and +13 respectively
Variation in ionic radii of isoelectronic species Within a series of isoelectronic species as the nuclear charge
increase, the force of attraction by the nucleus on the electrons also increases. As a result, the ionic radii of
isoelectronic species decrease with increase with increases in the magnitude of nuclear charges. For
example,
Al3+ Mg2+ Na+ F- O2- N3-
Ionic radii increase
As effective nuclear charge decrease.
30. Ionization Enthalpy:

 It represents the energy required to remove an electron from an isolated gaseous atom (X) in its
ground state. In other words, the first ionization enthalpy for an element X is the enthalpy change
(ΔiH) for the reaction depicted in equation. X(g)-> X+(g) + e– .
 The ionization enthalpy is expressed in units of kJ mol–1.
 M(g) -> M+(g) + e- ; M+ + lE2 -> M2+ + e- ; M2+ + lE3 -> M+3 + e-
 lE2 & lE3 are the llnd & lllrd ionization energies to removed electron from monovalent and
divalentcations respectively.
 In general : (IE)1 < (IE)2 < (lE)3 < ............. because, as the number of electrons decreases, the

lOMoARcPSD|27194696
attraction between the nucleus and the remaining electrons increases considerably and hence
subsequent l.E. (s) increase.
 The second ionization enthalpy will be higher than the first ionization enthalpy because it is more
difficult to remove an electron from a positively charged ion than from a neutral atom. In the same
way the third ionization enthalpy will be higher than the second and so on. The term “ionization
enthalpy”, if not qualified, is taken as the first ionization enthalpy.
31. Factors Influencing Ionisation energy
 Size of the Atom : Ionisation energy decreases with increase in atomic size. As the distance
between the outermost electrons and the nucleus increases, the force of attraction between the
valence shell electrons and the nucleus decreases. As a result, outer most electrons are held less
firmly and lesser amount of energy is required to knock them out. For example, ionisation
energy decreases in a group from top to bottom with increase in atomic size.
 Nuclear Charge : The ionisation energy increases with increase in the nuclear charge. The is
due to the fact that with increase in the nuclear charge, the electrons of the outer most shell are
more firmly held by the nucleus and thus greater amount of energy is required to pull out an
electron from the atom. For example, ionisation energy increases as we move from left to right
along a period due to increase in nuclear charge.
 Shielding effect : The electrons in the inner shells act as a screen or shield between the nucleus
and the electrons in the outermost shell. This is called shielding effect. The larger the number of
electrons in the inner shells, greater is the screening effect and smaller the force of attraction
and thus (IE) decreases.
 Penetration Effect of the Electron : The ionisation energy increases as the penetration effect of the
electrons increases. It is a well known fact that the electrons of the s-orbital has the maximum
probability of being found near the nucleus and this probability goes on decreasing in case of P, d
and f orbitals of the same energy level. Within the same energy level, the penetration effect
decreases in the order S > P > d > f Greater the penetration effect of electrons more firmly the
electron will be held by the nucleus and thus higher will be the ionisation energy of the atom. For
example, ionisation energy of aluminium is comparatively less then magnesium as outer most
electron is to be removed from p-orbital (having less penetration effect) of same energy level.
 Electronic Configuration : If an atom has exactly half-filled or completely filled orbitals, then such
an arrangement has extrastability. The removal of an electron from such an atom requires more
energy then expected. For example, Be IE1 > B IE1 Be (Z = 4) 1s2 , 2s2 B(Z  5) 1s2 , 2s2 , 2p1
completaly filled Partially filled
orbital more stable orbital less stable
As noble gases have completely filled electronic configurations, they have highest ionisation
energies in their respective periods.
32. Variation in Ionization Enthalpy
Variation in Ionization Enthalpy in Group Variation in Ionization Enthalpy in Period
As we descend in a group the first ionization The first ionization enthalpy generally
enthalpygenerally decreases increases aswe go across a period.

lOMoARcPSD|27194696
33. Electron Gain Enthalpy: When an electron is added to a neutral gaseous atom (X) to convert it into a
negative ion, the enthalpy change accompanying the process is defined as the electron gain enthalpy.
Electron gain enthalpy provides a measure of the ease with which an atom adds an electron to form
anion. X (g) + e- X-(g) ; eg H
34. When an electron is added to the atom and the energy is released, the electron gain enthalpy is
negative and when energy is needed to add an electron to the atom, the electron gain enthalpy is
positive.
35. The addition of second electron to an anion is opposed by electrostatic repulsion and hence the energy
has to be supplied for the addition of second electron. For example :
(a)O(g) + e+ O- (g) + energy - - 2-
eg H =-ve (b)O (g) + e + energy O (g) eg H =+ve
36. Group 17 (halogens) have very high negative electron gain enthalpies because they can attain
stablenoble gas electronic configuration by picking up an electron.
37. Noble gases have large positive electron gain enthalpies because the electrons have to enter the
nexthigher energy level leading to a very unstable electronic configuration.
38. Variation in electron gain enthalpies in Group & period:
Variation in electron gain enthalpies in Group Variation in electron gain enthalpies in
Period
We should also expect electron gain enthalpy to As a general rule, electron gain enthalpy
become less negative as we go down a group becomes more negative.
because the size of the atom increases and the Reason: because left to right across a
added electron would be farther from the nucleus. period effective nuclear charge increases
This is generally the case . Exceptions : and consequently it will be easier to add an
Electron gain enthalpy of O or F is less than S or Cl. electronto a small atom.
This is due to the fact that when an electron is added
to O or F, the added electron goes to the smaller n =
2 energy level and experiences significant repulsion
from the other electrons present in this level. In S or
Cl, the electron goes to the larger n = 3 energy level
and consequently occupies a larger region of space
leading to much less electron
repulsion.

half filled and completely filled orbitals of a subshell is comparatively more and the addition of an extra electron to
such an system is difficult and hence the electron affinity value decreases.
39. Electronegativity: Electronegativity is a measure of the tendency of an element to attract electrons

towards itself in a covalent bonded molecules. There is no direct method to measure the value of
electronegativity, however, there are some scales to measure its value. Linus Pauling, an American
scientist, in 1922 assigned arbitrarily a value of 4.0 to fluorine, the element considered to have the
greatest ability to attract electrons.

lOMoARcPSD|27194696
40. VALENCE ELECTRONS: The electrons present in outermost shell are called as valence electron. Because
the electrons in the outermost shell determine the valency of an element.
41. VALENCY OF AN ELEMENT: The number of hydrogen or halogen atom or double the number of
oxygen atom, which combin with one atom of the element is taken as its valency. According to the
electronic concept of valency, “ the number of electrons which an atom loses or gains or shares with
other atom to attain the noble gas configuration is termed as its valency.” Periodicity:
 In period- The valency first increases then decreases from left to right in a period.
 In group- The valency remains constant from top to bottom in a group.
42. ELECTROPOSITIVE OR METALLIC CHARACTER: The tendency of an element to lose electrons and forms
positive ions (cations) is called electropositive or metallic character. The elements having lower
ionisation energies have higher tendency to lose electrons, thus they are electropositive or metallic in
their behaviour. Alkali metals are the most highly electropositive elements.
 Periodicity: In period- The electropositive or metallic characters decreases from left to right in a
period.
 In group- The electropositive or metallic characters increases from top to bottom in a group.
43. ELECTRO-NEGATIVE OR NON- METALLIC CHARACTERS: the tendency of an element to accept electrons to
form an anion is called its non metallic or electronegative character. The elements having high electro-
negativity have higher tendency to gain electrons and forms anion. So, the elements in the upper right
hand portion of the periodic table are electro-negative or non-metallic in nature. Periodicity:
 In period- The electro-negative or non- metallic characters increases from left to right in a
period.
 In group- The electro-negative or non-metallic characters decreases from top to bottom in a
group.
44. REACTIVITY OF METALS: Periodicity:
 In period- The tendency of an element to lose electrons decreases in a period. So the reactivity
ofmetals decreases from left to right in a period.
 In group- The tendency of an element to lose electrons increases in a period. So the reactivity of
metals increases from top to bottom in a group.
45. REACTIVITY OF NON- METALS:
 (i) In period- The tendency of an element to gain electrons increases in a period. So the reactivity
of non-metals increases from left to right in a period.
 (ii) In group- The tendency of an element to gain electrons decreases in a group. So the reactivity
of non-metals increases from top to bottom in a group.
46. Anomalous Properties of Second Period Elements: The first element of each of the groups 1 (lithium)
and 2 (beryllium) and groups 13-17 (boron to fluorine) differs in many respects from the other members
of their respective group. For example, lithium unlike other alkali metals, and beryllium unlike other
alkaline earth metals, form compounds with pronounced covalent character; the other members of
these groups predominantly form ionic compounds. In fact the behaviour of lithium and beryllium is
more similar with the second element of the Group 1, 2 ,13, 14, 15, 16 ,17. following group i.e.,
magnesium and aluminium, respectively. This sort of similarity is commonly referred to as diagonal
relationship in the periodic properties. The anomalous behaviour is attributed to their small size, large
charge/ radius ratio and high electronegativity of the elements. In addition, the first member of group
has only four valence

lOMoARcPSD|27194696
orbitals (2s and 2p) available for bonding, whereas the second member of the groups have nine valence
orbitals (3s, 3p, 3d). As a consequence of this, the maximum covalency of the first member of each
group is 4 (e.g., boron can only form [BF4]- , whereas the other members of the groups can expand their
valence shell to accommodate more than four pairs of electrons e.g., aluminium forms [AlF6]3- ).
Furthermore, the first member of p-block elements displays greater ability to form p∏ – p∏ multiple
bonds to itself (e.g.,
subsequent members of the same group.

table. 2. It relates the position of an element in the periodic table with its electronic configuration.
Q.2. What is meant by periodicity in properties of elements? What is the reason behind this?
Ans- The repetition of similar properties after regular intervals is called as periodicity. It is due to the
similarity in the outer electronic configurations which gives rise to the periodic properties of the
elements.
Q.3. How do atomic radii vary in a group and a period?

Ans- In group- Atomic size increases on moving from top to bottom. In period- Atomic size decreases
on moving left to right in a period.

Q.5. Noble gases have zero electron gain enthalpy values. Explain.
Ans- Because the outer most shell of noble gases is completely filled and no more electrons can be
added.
THREE MARKS QUESTIONS
Q.1 The first ionisation enthalpy of magnesium is higher than that of sodium. On the other hand, the
second ionisation enthalpy of sodium is very much higher than that of magnesium. Explain.
Ans- The 1st ionisation enthalpy of magnesium is higher than that of Na due to higher nuclear charge
and slightly smaller atomic radius of Mg than Na. After the loss of first electron, Na+ formed has the
electronic configuration of neon (2,8). The higher stability of the completely filled noble gas
configuration leads to very high second ionisation enthalpy for sodium. On the other hand, Mg+
formed after losing first electron still has one more electron in its outermost (3s) orbital. As a result,
the second ionisation enthalpy of magnesium is much smaller than that of sodium.
Q2.Among the elements of the second period Li to Ne pick out the element:
(i) with the highest first ionisation energy
(ii) with the highest electronegativity
(iii) with the largest atomic radius Give the reason for your choice.

lOMoARcPSD|27194696
Q4.Explain why are cations smaller and anions larger in size than their parent atoms?
Ans- (a) The cations are smaller than their parent atoms due to the following reasons:
(i) Disappearance of the valence shell.
(ii) Increase of effective nuclear charge
(b) The anions are larger than their parent atoms due to the following reason: An increase in the
number of electrons in the valence shell reduces the effective nuclear charge due to greater mutual
shielding by the electrons. As a result, electron cloud expands, i.e., the ionic radius increases.

Unit - 4.Chemical bonding and Molecular Structure

Important Points and Terms of the Chapter
1. CHEMICAL BOND- The chemical force which keeps the atoms in any molecule
together is called a chemical bond.
2. Lewis dot structures are a shorthand to represent the valence electrons of an atom. The
structures are written as the element symbol surrounded by dots that represent the valence
electrons.
3. Electrovalent bond or Ionic Bond: The chemical bond as result of transfer of electron
from one atom(electropositive) to another atom (electronegative).Ionic bonds will be
formed more easily between elements with comparatively low ionization enthalpies and
elements with comparatively high negative value of electron gain enthalpy. Most ionic
compounds have cations derived from metallic elements and anions from non-metallic
elements.
4. Electrovalency: The number of electrons lost or gain by an atom of an element is called

as electrovalency. The element which give up electrons to form positive ions are said to
have positive valency, while the elements which accept electrons to form negative ions are
said to have negative valency
5. Formation of Ionic Bond : It is favoured by, (i) the low ionisation enthalpy of a metallic
element which forms the cations, (ii) High electron gain enthalpy of non- metallic element
which forms the anions, (iii) Large lattice enthalpy i.e; the smaller size and the higher
charge of the atoms
6. Covalent Bonds- The bond formed between two atoms by mutual sharing of electrons
between them so as to complete their octets or duplets.
7. COVALENCY: The number of electrons which an atom contributes towards mutual
sharing during the formation of a chemical bond called its covalency in that compound.
8. SINGLE COVALENT BOND: A covalent bond formed by the mutual sharing of one
pair of electrons is called a single covalent bond, or simply a single bond. A single covalent
bond is represented by a small line (−) between the two atoms. H2

lOMoARcPSD|27194696
9. DOUBLE COVALENT BOND: A covalent bond formed by the mutual sharing of two
pair of electrons is called a double covalent bond, or simply a double bond. A double
covalent bond is represented by two small horizontal lines (=) between the two atoms. E.g.
O=O, O=C=O etc.
10. TRIPLE COVALENT BOND: A covalent bond formed by the mutual sharing of three
pair of electrons is called a triple covalent bond, or simply a triple bond. A triple covalent
bond is represented by three small horizontal lines (≡) between the two atoms. E.g. N≡N, H-
C≡C-H etc.
11. FORMATION OF A COVALENT BOND: Formation of a covalent bond is favoured

by (i) High ionisation enthalpy of the combining elements. (ii) Nearly equal electron gain
enthalpy and equal electro-negativities of combining elements. (iii) High nuclear charge and
small atomic size of the combining elements.
12. Octet Rule- Kossel and Lewis in 1916 developed an important theory of chemical
combination between atoms known as electronic theory of chemical bonding. According to
this, atoms can combine either by transfer of valence electrons from one atom to another or
by sharing of valence electrons in order to attain their octet. This is known as octet rule.
13. Limitations of octet rule-
a) Incomplete octet of the central atom: In some compounds the number of electrons
surrounding the central atom is less than eight. This is especially the case with elements
having less than four valence electrons. Examples- LiCl ,BeCl2 , BCl3
b) Odd-electron molecules: In molecules with an odd number of electrons like nitric oxide,
NO and nitrogen dioxide, the octet rule is not satisfied for all the atoms.
c) The expanded octet : Elements in and beyond the third period of the periodic table have,
apart from 3s and 3p orbitals, 3d orbitals also available for bonding. In a number of
compounds of these elements there are more than eight valence electrons around the central
atom. This is termed as the expanded octet. Some of examples of such compounds are :
PF5, SF6.
d) This theory does not account for the shape of molecules.
14. POLAR COVALENT BOND: The bond between two unlike atoms which differ in their
affinities for electrons is said to be polar covalent bond. E.g. H-Cl
15. COORDINATE BOND: The bond formed when one sided sharing of electrons take
place is called a coordinate bond. Such a bond is also known as dative bond. It is represented
by an arrow (→) pointing towards the acceptor atom. Example :O3 (ozone)
16. Bond length is defined as the equilibrium distance between the nuclei of two bonded
atoms in a molecule.
17. Bond Angle: It is defined as the angle between the orbital containing bonding electron
pairs around the central atom in a molecule/complex ion. It gives some idea regarding the
distribution of orbital around the central atom in a molecule/complex ion and hence it helps
us in determining its shape
18. Bond enthalpy: It is defined as the amount of energy required to break one mole of bonds
of a particular type between two atoms in a gaseous state. The unit of bond enthalpy is kJ
mol–1

lOMoARcPSD|27194696
19. Bond Order :The Bond Order is given by the number of bonds between the two atoms in
a molecule. E.g.: Bond Order Of O2= 2. With increase in bond order, bond enthalpy
increases and bond length decreases.
20. Covalent character in ionic compounds (Fajan’s rule) :
 There is no compound which is 100% ionic.
 Covalent character in ionic compound can be explained with the help of Fajan’s rule.
 Small size of cation  polarisation :
e.g. BeCl2 MgCl2 CaCl2 SrCl2 BaCl2
Size of cation  Polarisation  Covalent character 
 Large size of anion  Polarisation
LiF LiCl LiBr Lil

21. Resonance: According to the concept of resonance, whenever a single Lewis structure
cannot describe a molecule accurately, a number of structures with similar energy, positions
of nuclei, bonding and the non- bonding pairs of electrons are taken as the canonical
structures of the hybrid which describes the molecule accurately.
22. Polarity of bonds:In case of heteronuclear molecules like HCl, the shared pair of electron
between the two atoms gets displaced more towards chlorine since the electronegativity of chlorine
is far greater than that of hydrogen. The resultant covalent bond is called a polar covalent bond.
23. Dipole moment : As a result of polarization, the molecule possesses the dipole
moment which can be defined as the product of charge and the distance between the centers
of positive and negative charge. It is usually designated by a Greek letter ‘µ’.
Mathematically, it is expressed as follows:
Dipole moment (µ ) = charge (Q) X distance of separation (r)
24. Sigma( ) bond : This type of covalent bond is formed by the end to end (hand-on)
overlap of bonding orbitals along the internuclear axis. This is called as head on overlap or
axial overlap.
25. pi(π ) bond : In the formation of π bond the atomic orbitals overlap in such a way that
their axes remain parallel to each other and perpendicular to the internuclear axis. The
orbitals formed due to sidewise overlapping consists of two saucer type charged clouds
above and below the plane of the participating atoms.

lOMoARcPSD|27194696
26. In case of sigma bond, the overlapping of orbitals takes place to a larger extent. Hence, it
is stronger as compared to the pi bond where the extent of overlapping occurs to a smaller
extent.
27. VSEPR theory
 The shape of a molecule depends upon the number of valence shell electron pairs
(bonded or nonbonded) around the central atom.
 Pairs of electrons in the valence shell repel one another since their electron clouds
are negatively charged.
 These pairs of electrons tend to occupy such positions in space that minimize
repulsion and thus maximise distance between them.
 The valence shell is taken as a sphere with the electron pairs localising on the
spherical surface at maximum distancefrom one another.
 A multiple bond is treated as if it is a single electron pair and the two or three
electron pairs of a multiple bond are treated as a single super pair.
 Where two or more resonance structures can represent a molecule, the VSEPR
model is applicable to any such structure.
 The repulsive interaction of electron pairs decrease in the order: Lone pair (lp) –
Lone pair (lp) > Lone pair (lp) – Bond pair (bp) > Bond pair (bp) –Bond pair (bp)
 Geometry of Molecules on the basis of VSEPR Theory

28. Hybridization: It can be defined as the process of intermixing of the orbitals of slightly
different energies so as to redistribute their energies, resulting in the formations of new set of
orbitals of equivalent energies and shape.
 Salient Features of hybridization :
 The number of hybrid orbitals is equal to the number of the atomic orbitals that get
hybridised.
 The hybridised orbitals are always equivalent in energy and shape.
 The hybrid orbitals are more effective in forming stable bonds than the pure atomic
orbitals.
 These hybrid orbitals are directed in space in some preferred direction to have
minimum repulsion between electron pairs and thus a stable arrangement.
29. Types of Hybridisation
(a) sp hybridisation: This type of hybridisation involves the mixing of one s and one p
orbital resulting in the formation of two equivalent sp hybrid orbitals. Each sp hybrid
orbitals has 50% s- character and 50% p-character. Such a molecule inwhich the central
atom is sp-hybridised and linked directly to two other central atoms possesses linear
geometry. Example BeCl2 molecule

(b) sp2 hybridisation : In this hybridization there is involvement of one s and two p-
orbitals in order to form three equivalent sp2 hybridised orbitals. Each sp2 hybrid orbitals
has 33.33% s- character and 66.66 % p-character. Such a molecule in which the central
atom is sp2 hybridised and linked directly to three other central atoms possesses trigonal
planar geometry. Example BCl3 molecule.
(c) sp3 hybridisation: In this type of hybridisation there is mixing of one s-orbital and
three p- orbitals of the valence shell to form four sp3 hybrid orbital of equivalent energies
and shape. There is 25% s-character and 75% pcharacter in each Sp3 hybrid orbital. The
four Sp3 hybrid orbitals so formed are directed towards the four corners of the tetrahedron

34. Molecular orbital. It gives electron probability distribution around a group of nuclei in a
molecule. They are filled in the same way as atomic orbitals. Molecular orbitals are formed
bylinear combination of atomic orbitals.
35. Conditions for the Combination of Atomic Orbitals. The linear combination of atomic
orbitals takes place only if the following conditions are satisfied :
(i) The combining atomic orbitals must have same or nearly same energy.
(ii) The combining atomic orbitals must have the same symmetry about the molecular
axis. Byconvention, z-axis is taken as the molecular axis.
(iii) The combining atomic orbitals must overlap to the maximum extent. Greater the
extent of overlapping, the greater will be electron density between the nuclei of a molecular
orbital.
36. Sigma ( ) molecular orbitals. A molecular orbital which is formed from the overlap of
two s atomic orbitlas or head to head overlap of one s and p-atomic orbitals or head to head
overlap of two p-atomic orbitals, is known as sigma molecular orbital.
37. pi (  ) molecular orbitals. A molecular orbital which is formed by lateral overlap of two
parallel p-orbitals is known as pi(  ) molecular orbital.
38. Bonding molecular orbital. A molecular orbital that is formed by addition overlap (i.e.,
when the lobes of atomic orbitals overlap with the same sign) of two atomic orbitals is known
as bonding molecular orbital. It is represented as
MO  A  B Its energy is lower than the atomic orbitals from which it is formed. It
favours bonding.
39. Anti-bonding molecular orbital. A molecular orbital that is obtained by the subtraction overlap
(i.e., when the lobes of atomic orbitals overlap with the opposite sign) of two atomic orbitals is
know as anti-bonding molecular orbital. It is represented as *MO  A  B Its energy is higher

lOMoARcPSD|27194696
than the atomic orbitals from which it is formed. It does not favour bonding.
40. Bond order. It is defined as half of the difference between number of electrons in bonding and anti-
bonding orbitals, i.e., B.O. = ½ (Nb – Na) ‘where Nb are number of electrons in bonding
orbitals’ and Na are number of electrons in anti-bonding orbitals. Bond order helps in estimating stability of
atom.
41. Significance of Bond Order
 It bond order = 0, it means species does not exist.
 Bond order of 1, 2 & 3 corresponds to a single bond, double & triple bondrespectively


 Bond order increases  stability of molecule increases  Bond length decreases 
 If the molecule has one or more unpaired electron, it will be paramagnetic, while ifall
the electrons are paired it will be diamagnetic.
42. Energy level Diagrams for Molecular Orbitals. The increasing order of energies of various
molecular orbitals for O2 and F2 is given below.
* * * * *
1s   1s   2s   2s   2 pz   2 px   2 p y   2 p x   2 p y   2 p z
However, this sequence of energy levels of molecular orbitals is not correct for remaining molecules
Li2, Be2, B2, C2, N2. For instance, it has been observed experimentally that for molecules such as B 2, C2,
N2 etc., the increasing order of energies of various molecular orbitals is

46. Hydrogen bond can be defined as the attractive force which binds hydrogen atom of one
molecule with the electronegative atom (F, O or N) of another molecule. For example, in HF
molecule, the hydrogen bond exists between hydrogen atom of one molecule and fluorine
atom
of another molecule as depicted below :
47. Conditions required for H-bond.
a) Molecule should have more electronegative atom (F, O, N) linked to the H-atom
b) Size of electronegative atom should be smaller.
c) A lone pair should be present on electronegative atom.
48. Types of H-Bonds There are two types of H-bonds (i) Intermolecular hydrogen bond (ii)
Intramolecular hydrogen bond
49. Intermolecular hydrogen bond: It is formed between two different molecules of the same or
different compounds. For example, H-bond in case of HF molecule, alcohol or water
molecules, etc.
50. Intramolecular hydrogen bond : It is formed when hydrogen atom is in between the two
highlyelectronegative (F, O, N) atoms present within the same molecule. For example, in o-
nitrophenol the hydrogen is in between the two oxygen atoms.

Reason : The number of electrons in bonding molecular orbital and antibonding molecular orbital is
equal.
Answer: (a)
2 Assertion : The lesser the lattice enthalpy more stable is the ionic compound. Reason : The
lattice enthalpy is greater, for ions of highest charge and smaller radii. Answer: (d) Assertion is false but
reason is true.
The greater the lattice enthalpy, more stable is the ionic compound.

4 Assertion : Lone pair-lone pair repulsive interactions are greater than lone pair- bond pair and
bond pair-bond pair interactions.
Reason : The space occupied by lone pair electrons is more as compared to bond pair electrons.
Answer: (a) While the lone pairs are localised on the central atom, each bonded pair is shared between
two atoms. As a result, the lone pair electrons in a molecule occupy more space as compared to the
bonding pairs of electrons. This results in greater repulsion between lone pairs of electrons as
compared to the lone pair - bond pair and bond pair – bond pair repulsions.
5 Assertion : pi bonds are weaker than σ bonds.
Reason : pi bonds are formed by the overlapping of p-p orbitals side wise Answer: (a) Both assertion

(a)
Answer: Difference of electronegativity of the two atoms.
(b) What type of orbitals can overlap to form a covalent molecule?
Answer: Half-filled atomic orbitals containing electrons with opposite spins.
SHORT ANSHWER Q. CARRY 3 MARKS
1 (a) Which out of CH3F and CH3Cl has a higher dipole moment and why?
Answer: The dipole moment of CH3Cl is greater than that of CH3F. The C-F bond length in
CH3F is smaller than the C-Cl bond length in CH3Cl. The charge separation in the C-F bond is
more than in the Cl-C bond- fluoride being more electronegative than chlorine. The bond
length has a greater effect than the charge separation. Hence the dipole moment of CH3C1
is greater than that of CH3F.
(b) Why covalent bonds are called directional bonds whereas ionic bonds are called
non-directional?
Answer: A covalent bond is formed by the overlap of half-filled atomic orbitals which have
definite directions. Hence covalent bond is directional. In ionic compounds, each ion is
surrounded by a number of oppositely charged ions and hence there is no definite
direction.
(c) Account for the following: The experimentally determined N-F bond length in
NF3 is greater than the sum of the single covalent radii of N and F.
Answer: This is because both N and F are small and hence have high-electron
density. So they repel the bond pairs thereby making the N-F bond length larger.
2(a) Why HCl is polar whereas the Cl2 molecule is non-polar?
Answer: In Cl2 both atoms have the same electronegativity. Hence the shared pair of
electrons is attracted equally by both and remains exactly in the center. NO end acquires a
negative or positive charge. In HCl, chlorine is more electronegative than H. Hence shared
pair of electrons is more attracted towards chlorine, which, therefore acquires a
negative charge while H acquires a positive charge.
(b) Out of sigma and pi bonds, which one is stronger and why?
Answer: Sigma (a) bond is stronger This is because a bond is formed by head-on overlapping
of atomic orbitals and such overlapping being on the internuclear axis is large, n bond is
formed by sidewise overlapping which is small and so a Pi bond is weaker.
(c) Out of p-orbital and sp-hybrid orbital which has greater directional character and why?

lOMoARcPSD|27194696
Answer: sp orbital has a greater directional character than p-orbital. This is because the p-
orbital has equal-sized lobes with equal electron density in both the lobes whereas the sp-
hybrid orbital has greater electron density on one side.
3 (a) Explain giving reasons whether BH4 and H3O+ will have the same/different geometry?
Answer: The central atom in both the ions is surrounded by the same number of pairs of
electrons, that is, 4. Hence they have the same tetrahedral geometry.
(b) Out of peroxide ion (O22- ) and superoxide ion (O2 - ) which has larger bond length and why?
(c) Answer: The bond order of O2– is 1.5 while that of O22- is 1.0.
The lesser the bond order, the greater is the bond length as the bond order is inversely
proportional to bond length. ( Hence O22- has a larger bond length than O22-.

CASE BASED QUESTIONS
Read the following passage and anshwer the questions given below:
1. The attractive force which holds the two atoms together is called a chemical bond. A covalent bond is
formed by an equal sharing of electrons. A coordinate bond is formed by unequal sharing of electrons. An
ionic bond is formed by the transfer of electrons from one atom to another. Octet rule, although very
useful but is not universally applicable. According to valence bond theory, a covalent bond is formed by
overlapping of half-filled atomic orbitals resulting in a lowering of energy and more stability. Bond order is
the number of bonds between atoms in a molecule. The higher the bond order more will be stability and
bond dissociation enthalpy but the smaller the bond length. The polarity of a covalent bond depends
upon the difference in electronegativity. The covalent character of a bond depends upon polarising
power, smaller cation and bigger anions have higher polarising power. VSEPR theory helps to predict the
shapes of molecules.

Ans (f). B2(10): σ(1s)2, σ*(1s)2, σ(2s)2, σ*(2s)2, π(2px)1= π(2py)1
2. Read the following passage and anshwer the questions given below :
This theory provides a simple procedure to predict the shapes of covalent

molecules. Based on the repulsive interactions of the electron pairs in the valence shell of the atoms.
The shape of a molecule depends upon the number of valence shell electron pairs (bonded or non–
bonded) around the central atom. Pairs of electrons in the valence shell repel one another since
their electron clouds are negatively charged. These pairs of electrons tend to occupy such
positions in space that minimize repulsion and thus maximize distance between them. The valence
shell is taken as a sphere with the electron pairs localising on the spherical surface at maximum
distance from one another. A multiple bond is treated as if it is a single electron pair and the two or
three electron pairs of a multiple bond are treated as a single super pair. Where two or more
resonance structures can represent a molecule, the VSEPR model is applicable to any such
structure. The repulsive interaction of electron pairs decrease in the order:
lp – lp>lp –bp>bp – bp
lone pairs are localised on the central atom and each bonded pair is shared between two
atoms. As a result, the lone pair electrons in a molecule occupy more space as compared to the
bonding pairs of electrons. These results in greater repulsion between lone pairs of electrons as
compared to the lone pair – bond pair and bond pair – bond pair repulsions.

CHAPTER – CHEMICAL THERMODYNAMICS

THERMODYNAMIC TERMS
 System it refers to the part of universe in which observations are carried out.
 Surroundings the part of universe other than the system is known as surroundings.
 Boundary The wall that separates the system from the surroundings is called boundary.
Types of Systems
Open system The system in which energy and matter both can be exchanged with the surroundings.
Closed system The system in which only energy can be exchanged with the surroundings.
Isolated system The system in which neither energy nor matter can be exchanged with the surroundings.
Intensive Properties
Properties of the system which depend only on the nature of matter but not on the quantity of
matter arecalled Intensive properties, e.g., pressure, temperature, specific heat, etc
Extensive Properties
Properties of the system which are dependent on the quantity of matter are called extensive
properties, e.g.,internal energy, volume, enthalpy, etc.
State of System:
Thermodynamic variable used to describe the behavior of a system at a particular time.
or
The conditions of existence of the system are known as state of system.
State functions: When values of a system is independent of path followed and depend only on initial
and final state, it is known as state function, e.g., Δ U, Δ H, Δ G etc.
Path functions: These depend upon the path followed only, e.g., work, heat, etc.
Thermodynamic Process It is a process in which the thermodynamic state of a system is
changed.
Isothermal process: In which temperature remains constant, i.e., (Δ T = 0).
Isochoric process: In which volume remains constant, i.e., (Δ V = 0).
Isobaric process: In which pressure remains constant, i.e., (Δp = 0).
Adiabatic process: In which heat is not exchanged by system with the surroundings (Δq= 0).
Cyclic process: It is a process in which system returns to its original state after undergoing a series
ofchange.
Reversible process: The process which occurs in infinite number of steps in this Way that the
equilibrium conditions are maintained at each step, and the process can be reversed by infinitesimal
change in the state of functions.
Irreversible process: An irreversible process can be defined as a process in which the system and the
surroundings do not return to their original condition once the process is initiated.

lOMoARcPSD|27194696
Internal Energy (E or U) :
It is the total energy within the substance. It is the sum of many types of energies like vibrational
energy,translational energy. etc. It is a extensive property and state function.
Its absolute value cannot be determined but experimentally change in internal energy (ΔU)
can be determined by ΔU = U2 – U1 or ΣUP – ΣUR
Modes of energy exchange : These are two ways by which a system can interact or can exchange
energy with its surroundings.
Heat : when the energy transfer takes place because of temperature difference between system &
surroundings. It is known as heat.
Work : Energy transfer which is not heat or which is not because of temperature difference is called
work
First Law of Thermodynamics:
Energy can neither be created nor destroyed although it can be converted from one form to the other.
OR
The energy of an isolated system is constant.
Mathematically, ΔU = q + W
Where, ΔU = internal energy change q = heat added to
systemW = work added to system
Sign convention:
(i) q is + ve = heat is supplied to the system
(ii) q is – ve = heat is lost by the system
(iii) W is + ve = work done on the system
(iv) W is – ve =work done by the system
Enthalpy (H): A thermodynamic quantity equivalent to the total heat content of a system. It is
the sum of internal energy of the system and the product of pressure and volume.
At constant volume ∆V = 0, qv =∆ U
So H = U + p∆V,
qp = H2- H1 = ∆H
∆H = ∆U + P.∆ V.
The enthalpy change accompanying a reaction is called the reaction enthalpy
Exothermic and Endothermic reactions: ∆H = –Ve for exothermic and ∆ H= +Ve for endothermic reaction
i.e. evolution and absorption of heat respectively
HEAT CAPACITY
Heat capacity is the quantity of heat required to raise the temperature by one degree Celsius.(or 1K).
Specific heat capacity (s): It is the quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of one unit mass of a
substance by one degree celsius (or one kelvin). For finding out the heat, q, required to raise the
temperatures of a sample, we multiply the specific heat of the substance, c, by the mass m, and
temperatures change,

lOMoARcPSD|27194696
ΔT as q=c×m×ΔT =CΔT .
Relation between Cp and Cv and ideal gas Cp -CV=R
Measurement of ∆H and ∆U The process is carried out in a vessel called calorimeter,
immersed in aknown volume of a liquid.
(a) ∆U measurements: The energy changes are measured at constant volume. No work is done
.A bomb calorimeter is used.
(b) ∆H measurements: In exothermic reaction, heat is evolved, so q and H will be negative. In
endothermicp reaction, heat is absorbed, so q and H will be positive
Standard Enthalpy of Reactions

The standard enthalpy of reaction is the enthalpy change for a reaction when all the
participatingsubstances are in their standard states.
The standard state of a substance at a specified temperature is its pure form at 1 bar
Enthalpy changes during phase transformations:
 Standard enthalpy of fusion / molar enthalpy of fusion, Enthalpy of fusion is
defined as the enthalpy change when one mole of a solid substance in standard
state melts and changes to liquid.
 Standard enthalpy of vaporization or molar enthalpy of vaporization. ∆H vap is the
amount ofheat required to vaporize one mole of a liquid at constant temperature and
under standard pressure.
 Standard molar enthalpy of formation ∆Hr_ is the standard enthalpy change for the
formation ofone mole of a compound from its elements in their most stable state of
aggregation
 Standard enthalpy of sublimation, ∆subH0 is the change in enthalpy when one mole
of a solidsubstance sublimes at a constant temperature and under standard
pressure (1bar.
Hess’s Law of constant heat summation: The total amount of heat change is same whether
the reactiontakes place in one step or in several steps.
i.e. H = H1 + H2 + H3 + --------
Bond enthalpy: It is amount of energy released when gaseous atoms combines to form one mole of
bondsbetween them or heat absorbed when one mole of bonds between them are broken to give free
gaseous atoms. Further ∆H r = B.E. (Reactants) - B.E. (Products)
Lattice Enthalpy
The lattice enthalpy of an ionic compound is the enthalpy change which occurs when one mole of an
ioniccompound dissociates into its ions in gaseous state.
Spontaneous & Non Spontaneous Processes:
A process which can take place by itself is called spontaneous process.
A process which can neither take place by itself or by initiation is called nonSpontaneous.

lOMoARcPSD|27194696
Enthalpy of Solution (symbol : ∆solH0 ) Enthalpy of solution of a substance is the enthalpy

change whenone mole of it dissolves in a specified amount of solvent
Enthalpy of Dilution It is known that enthalpy of solution is the enthalpy change associated with the
addition of a specified amount of solute to the specified amount of solvent at a constant
temperature andpressure
Enthalpy of combustion: It is the enthalpy change when one mole of a compound combines with the
requisite amount of oxygen to given products in their stable forms.
CH4 (g) + 2O2(g) → CO2(g) + 2H2O (l) H o = - 890 kJ mol-1
Enthalpy of atomization (symbol: ΔaH 0 ): It is the enthalpy change on breaking one mole of bonds
completely to obtain atoms in the gas phase. In case of diatomic molecules, like dihydrogen the
enthalpy of atomization is also the bond dissociation enthalpy.
Ionization Enthalpy: The ionization enthalpy of an element can be defined as the amount of energy
required to remove an electron from an isolated gaseous atom in its gaseous state.
Driving forces for spontaneous process:
(i) Tendency for minimum energystate. (ii) Tendency for maximum randomness.
Entropy (S): It is measure of randomness or disorderness of a system.
i.e. Gas>Liquid>Solid.
Entropy change ( ∆S) = q(rev.)J.K-1 .mol -1
T
Spontaneity in term of ( ∆S)
 ∆S(total) = ∆S(universe) = ∆S(system) + ∆S(surrounding)
 If ∆S(total) is +ve, the process is spontaneous.
 If ∆S(total) is –ve, the process is non-spontaneous.
Second Law of thermodynamics: In any spontaneous process, the entropy of the universe always
increases. A spontaneous process cannot be reversed by its own.
Gibb’s free energy (∆G): It is defined as maximum amount of energy available to a system during
the process that can be converted into useful work. It is a measure of capacity to do useful
work.
∆G = H – T∆S (Gibb’s Helmholts equation) it is equal useful work i.e. - ∆G = W(useful) = W(max.)
Criteria of spontaneity :
(i)If Gsystem is (-ve) < 0  process is spontaneous
(ii) If Gsystem is (+ve) > 0  process is non-spontaneous
(iii) If Gsystem = 0  system is at equilibrium

Equilibrium in Chemical Process
 Reversible reaction: A reaction in which not only the reactants react to form the products
under certain conditions but also the products react to form reactants under the same conditions
Examples: 3Fe(s) + 4H2O(g) Fe3 O4 (s) + 4H 2(g)
 Irreversible reaction: A reaction cannot take place in the reverse direction, i.e. the products
formed do not react to give back the reactants under the same condition.
Example: AgNO3(aq) + NaCl(aq) → AgCl(s) + NaNO 3(g)
 Generally, a chemical equilibrium is represented as
Where A, B are reactants and C, D are products.
Note: The double arrow between the left hand part and right hand part shows that changes are taking
place in both the directions.
On the basis of extent of reaction, before equilibrium is attained chemical reactions may be classified
into three categories.
 . Those reactions which proceed to almost completion.
 Those reactions which proceed to almost only upto little extent.
Those reactions which proceed to such an extent, that the concentrations of reactants and
products at equilibrium are comparable
 The equilibrium state is dynamic and not static in nature.
 Homogeneous equilibrium: All the reactants and products of any reaction under equilibrium are
in same physical state. Example: N2 (g) + 3H2 (g) 2NH 3 (g)
 Heterogeneous equilibrium? :Physical state of one or more of the reacting species may differ
i.e. all the reactants and products are not in same physical state.Example
2NaHCO 3(s) Na2CO3 (s) + CO2(g) + H2 O(l)?
Characteristics of Equilibrium State
 It can be attained only if the reversible reaction is carried out in closed vessel.
 It can be attained from either side of the reaction.
 A catalyst can hasten the approach of equilibrium but does not alter the state of equilibrium.
 It is dynamic in nature i.e. reaction does not stop but both forward and backward reactions
take place at equal rate.
 Change of pressure, concentration or temperature favours one of the reactions (forward or
backward) resulting in shift of equilibrium point in one direction.
Law of Mass Action & Equilibrium Constant

lOMoARcPSD|27194696
“The rate at which a substance reacts is directly proportional to its active mass and rate of a chemical
reaction is directly proportional to product of active masses of reactants each raised to a power equal
to corresponding stoichiometric coefficient appearing in the balanced chemical equation”.
Fore reaction
Rate of reaction ∝ [A]a.[B]b
or rate of reaction = K[A] a[B]b
where K is rate constant or velocity constant of the reaction at that temperature.
Applying Law of mass action for general reversible reaction
aA + bB cC + dD
Rate of forward reaction [A]a[B]b

or R f = Kf [A]b [B]b
Similarly for backward reaction
Rb = Kb [C]c [D]d
Equilibrium Quotient or Mass Action Ratio:
aA +bB cC +dD
At equilibrium
When the reaction is not at equilibrium this ratio is called ‘Q C ’ i.e., Q C is the general term used for the
above given ratio at any instant of time. And at equilibrium Q C becomes KC .
 If the reaction is at equilibrium, Q = K c
 A net reaction proceeds from left to right (forward direction) if Q < KC .
 A net reaction proceeds from right to left (the reverse direction) if Q >Kc
The Le–Chatelier’s Principle:Statement:
“When a chemical reaction at equilibrium is subjected to any stress, then the equilibrium shifts in that
direction in which the effect of the stress is reduced.”
Effect of Addition of Inert Gases:
 Addition of inert gas at constant volume: No effect on equilibrium.
 Addition of inert gas at constant pressure: Equilibrium shifts in a direction where there is
increase in number of moles of gases.
Effect of Change in Temperature:
 In a system at equilibrium, both exothermic and endothermic reactions take place
simultaneously.
 Increase in temperature would shift the equilibrium in the direction of endothermic reaction.
 Decrease in temperature would shift the equilibrium in the direction of exothermic reaction.
Effect of Change in Concentration:
 When the concentration of reactants increased, equilibrium shifts in forward direction.
 When the concentration of the products is increases, equilibrium shifts in backward direction.
Effect of Change in Pressure:
 Increase in pressure shifts the equilibrium in the direction of lesser number of gaseous
molecules.
 Decrease in pressure shifts the equilibrium in the direction of larger number of gaseous
molecules.
Effect of Catalyst:
Catalyst does not change the equilibrium.

ANS 2-Statement: The law of mass action states that the rate of a chemical reaction at each instant is
proportional to the product of concentrations of all the reactants.
Explanation: A rate equation can be written for a reaction by applying the law of mass action as follows:
Consider a reaction, A + B → C
Here A and B are the reactants and C is the product. The concentrations of chemical species are expressed
in mol L-1 and denoted by putting the formula in square brackets. On applying the law of mass action to this
reaction, a proportionality expression can be written as: Rate ∝ [A] [B]
This proportionality expression is transformed into an equation by introducing a proportionality constant, k,
as follows: Rate = k [A] [B]
This equation is called the rate equation and the proportionality constant, k, is called the rate constant of
the reaction.
ANS 3- The rate equation is written by applying the law of mass action.
i. The reactants are C and O2
Rate ∝ [C] [O2]
∴ Rate = k [C] [O2]
ii. The reactant is KClO3 and its 2 molecules appear in the balanced equation.

ii. In a heterogeneous equilibrium, the reactants and products exist in different phases, e.g. Formation of
NH4Cl:
NH3(g) + HCl(g) ⇌ NH4Cl(s)
ANS 5- Characteristics of equilibrium constant:
 The value of equilibrium constant is independent of initial concentrations of either the reactants or
products.
 Equilibrium constant is temperature dependent. Hence, KC and KP change with change in
temperature.
 Equilibrium constant has a characteristic value for a particular reversible reaction represented by a
balanced equation at a given temperature.
 Higher value of KC or KP means more concentration of products is formed and the equilibrium point
is more towards right hand side and vice versa.
ANS 6- i. Adding CH4: Adding CH4 will favour the forward reaction and the yield of CO and H2 will increase.
ii. Adding H2: Adding H2 will favour the reverse reaction and the yield of CO and H2 will decrease.
iii. Removing H2O: Removing H2O will favour the reverse reaction and the yield of CO and H2 will decrease.

CASE BASED QUESTIONS (4 MARKS)
Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow:
Equilibrium can be established for both physical and chemical processes and at equilibrium rate of forward
and reverse processes are equal. Equilibrium constant (KC) is expressed as the concentration of products
divided by reactants, each raised to Stoichiometric Coefficient. KC has fixed value of constant temperature
and at this stage concentration, pressure etc. become constant. KP is equilibrium constant in terms of partial
pressure of gases or vapours. The direction of reaction can be predicted by reaction quotient Q C and QP. QC
= KC at equilibrium and QP = KP. Le Chatelier's principle states 'Equilibrium' will shift in the direction so as to
counter balance the effect of change in T, P and conc. The equilibrium between ions and unionised
molecules in weak electrolyte is called ionic equilibrium

Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow:
Arrhenius acids give H+ ion in aqueous solution where as bases give OH– in aqueous solution. Bronsted acids
are proton donor where as Bronsted bases are proton acceptors. Acids, on donating proton form conjugate
base where as bases form conjugate acid after accepting proton. Buffer solution is a solution whose pH does
not change by adding small amount of H+ or OH– . The decrease in conc. of one of the ion by adding other
ion as common ion is called common ion effect. Lewis acids are electron deficient or +vely charged. Lewis
bases are electron rich or negatively charged. Ksp (solubility product) is product of molar concentration of
ions raised to power number of ions per formula of the compound in sparingly soluble salt. Precipitation
occurs only if ionic product exceeds solubility product. Solubility of salt decreases in presence of common
ion. Kw is ionic product of water, 1 × 10–14 at 298 K. Kw increases with increase in temperature. pH is –log
[H3O+ ] where [H3O+] = Ca in mono protic acid 'C' is molar conc., 'a' is degree of ionisation. A salt is said to be

CH: 8 Redox- Reaction
1 Key Notes:
Classical concept of oxidation and reduction:

The term “oxidation” is defined as the addition of oxygen/electronegative element to a substance or
removal of hydrogen/electropositive element from a substance for eg.
………….. 1
In the above reactions, the elements magnesium and sulphur are oxidised on account of addition of
oxygen to them
……………2
The oxidation of magnesium with fluorine, chlorine is due to addition of electronegative element to
Mg.
The oxidation of H2S is due to removal of hydrogen
………3
oxidation due to the removal of electropositive element potassium from potassium ferrocyanide
before it changes to potassium ferricyanide.
The term “Reduction” is defined as the removal of oxygen/electronegative element from a substance or
addition of hydrogen/ electropositive element to a substance.
…………..4
……..5
(removal of electronegative element, chlorine from ferric chloride)
………………6

lOMoARcPSD|27194696
(addition of mercury to mercuric chloride)
Oxidising agents (Oxidant): Oxidising agents is the substance which supplies oxygen to other elements or
removes hydrogen from other element .It is the substance which itself get reduced in the reaction. For
example O2 in eq.1,Cl2 and F2 in eq.2 and H2O2 in eq.3 are Oxidising agents
Reducing agents (Reductant): Reducing agents is the substance which supplies hydrogen to other
elements or removes oxygen from other element .It is the substance which itself get oxidised in the
reaction. For example H2 in eq.5, SnCl2 in eq.6 are reducing agents agents
2 Redox reactions: oxidation and reduction taking place simultaneously thus these reactions are called
redox reactions.
3 REDOX REACTIONS IN TERMS OF ELECTRON TRANSFER REACTIONS:
Above reaction is a redox reactions because in this reactions sodium is oxidised due to the addition of
more electronegative element (Cl) to sodium. Simultaneously, chlorine is reduced because to it, the
electropositive element sodium has been added.
For convenience, each of the above processes can be considered as two separate steps, one involving
the loss of electrons and the other the gain of electrons.Each of the steps is called a half reaction
The half reactions that involve loss of electrons are called oxidation reactions. Similarly, the half
reactions that involve gain of electrons are called reduction reactions.
Thus from electronic concept:
Oxidation: Loss of electron(s) by any species. ( De- electronation)

Fe → Fe2+ + 2e-
Sn 2+ → Sn4+ +2e-
Reduction: Gain of electron(s) by any species. (electronation)
Fe3+ +e- → Fe2+
Sn4+ +2e- → Sn 2+
Cl2+2e- → 2Cl-
Oxidising agent: Acceptor of electron(s).
Reducing agent: Donor of electron(s).
Competitive Electron Transfer Reactions: Place a strip of metallic zinc in an aqueous solution of copper

lOMoARcPSD|27194696
nitrate for about one hour. You may notice that the strip becomes coated with reddish metallic copper
and the blue colour of the solution disappears. Formation of Zn 2+ ions among the products can easily be
judged when the blue colour of the solution due to Cu2+ has disappeared.
The reaction between metallic zinc and the aqueous solution of copper nitrate is
In above reaction, zinc has lost electrons to form Zn 2+ and, therefore, zinc is oxidised.
Evidently, now if zinc is oxidised, releasing electrons, something must be reduced,
accepting the electrons lost by zinc. Copper ion is reduced by gaining electrons from the
zinc.
Oxidation –Number Concept:

Oxidation –Number of an element is the charge which an atom of an element has in its ion or appears to
have when present in the combined state with other atoms. It is also called oxidation state.
oxidation state of an element in a compound ascertained according to a set of rules formulated on the
basis that electron in a covalent bond belongs entirely to more electronegative element.
Following rules are applied to determine the oxidation of an atom in an ion or a molecule.
1 In elements, in the free or the uncombinedstate, each atom bears an oxidationnumber of zero.
Evidently each atom in H2, O2, Cl2, O3, P4, S8, Na, Mg, Al has theoxidation number zero.
2 For ions composed of only one atom, theoxidation number is equal to the chargeon the ion. Thus Na+
ion has an oxidationnumber of +1, Mg2+ ion, +2, Fe3+ ion, +3, Cl– ion, –1, O2– ion, –2; and so on.
3 The oxidation number of oxygen in mostcompounds is –2. However, we come across
two kinds of exceptions here in peroxides (e.g., H2O2, Na2O2), eachoxygen atom is assigned an
oxidationnumber of –1, in superoxides (e.g., KO2,RbO2) each oxygen atom is assigned anoxidation
number of –(½). When oxygenis bonded to fluorine. In such compounds e.g., oxygen difluoride (OF2)
and dioxygen difluoride (O2F2), the oxygen is assignedan oxidation number of +2 and +1, respectively.
4 The oxidation number of hydrogen is +1, except when it is bonded to metals in binary compounds (that
is compounds containingtwo elements). For example, in LiH, NaH, and CaH2, its oxidation number is –1.
5 In all its compounds, fluorine has anoxidation number of –1. Other halogens (Cl, Br, and I) also have an
oxidation numberof –1, when they occur as halide ions in their compounds. Chlorine, bromine
andiodine when combined with oxygen, for example in oxoacids and oxoanions, havepositive oxidation
numbers
6 The algebraic sum of the oxidation numberof all the atoms in a compound must bezero
7 In polyatomic ion, the algebraic sumof all the oxidation numbers of atoms ofthe ion must equal the
charge on the ion

lOMoARcPSD|27194696
8 It is clear that the metallic elements have positive oxidation number and nonmetallic elements have
positive or negative oxidation number The highest oxidation number of a representative element is the
group number for the first two groups ( S-Block elements) and the group number minus 10 (following
the long form of periodic table) for the other groups (P-Block elements).Highest negative oxidation state
of P-block elements is equal to 8- no. of valence electrons.
Calculate the oxidation number of underlined element in the following:
S.N. Formula Calculation Oxidation state

1 H 2S 2(+1)+x=0 X = -2
2 CO2 X+2(-2)=0 X = +4
3 Na3PO4 3(+1)+x+4(-2) =0 X = +5
4 NO3- X+3(-2)= -1 X = +5
5 CO3 2- X+3(-2)= -2 X = +4
6 CIO4- X+4(-2)= -1 X = +7
7 Cr2O7 2- 2X+7(-2)= -2 X = +6
8 MnO4- X+4(-2)= -1 X = +7
9 [Fe(CN)6]4- X+6(-1)= -4 X = +2
10 H3P2O7- +3+2x+7(-2)= -1 X = +5
11 CrO5 X+4(-1)+1(-2)=0 X = +6
12 Na2S2O8 +2+2X+6(-2)+2(-1) = 0 X = +6
The idea of oxidation number can be apply to define oxidation, reduction, oxidising agent (oxidant),
reducing agent (reductant) and the redox reaction.
we may say that:
Oxidation: An increase in the oxidation number of the element in the given substance.
Reduction: A decrease in the oxidation number of the element in the given substance.
Oxidation number of the Zn is increases from 0 to +2 so Zn is oxidized while Oxidation number of the
Cu is decreases from +2 to0 so Cu is reduced.
Oxidising agent: A reagent which can increase the oxidation number of an element in a given substance.
Or the substance O.N.of whose atom decreases
Reducing agent: A reagent which lowers the oxidation number of an element in a given
Substance Or the substance O.N.of whose atom increases.

Redox reactions: Reactions which involve change in oxidation number of the interacting
Species
Types of Redox Reactions :
1. Combination reactions : A combination reaction may be denoted in the
Either A and B or both A and B must be in the elemental form for such a reaction to be a redox reaction
2. Decomposition reactions:
Decomposition reaction leads to the breakdown of a compound into two or more
components at least one of which must be in the elemental state. Examples of this class of reactions are
Displacement reactions :
In a displacement reaction, an ion (or an atom) in a compound is replaced by an ion (or an atom) of
another element. It may be denotedas:
Y
(a) Metal displacement:
(b) Non-metal displacement: The non-metal displacement redox reactions include hydrogen
displacement. All alkali metals and some alkaline earth metals (Ca, Sr, and Ba) which are very good
reductants, will displace hydrogen from cold water.

lOMoARcPSD|27194696
The power of these elements as oxidising agents decreases as we move down from fluorine to
iodine in group 17 of the periodic table. This implies that fluorine is so reactive that it can replace
chloride, bromide and iodide ions in solution. In fact, fluorine is so reactive that it attacks water and
displaces the oxygen of water :
Chlorine can displace bromide and iodide ions in an aqueous solution as shown below:
As Br2 and I2 are coloured and dissolve in CCl4, can easily be identified from the colour of the solution
above reactions form the basis of identifying Br– and I– in the laboratory through the test popularly
known as ‘Layer Test’.
4. Disproportionation reactions:
Disproportionation reactions are a special type of redox reactions. In a disproportionation reaction an
element in one oxidation state is simultaneously oxidised and reduced. One of the reacting substances
in adisproportionation reaction always containsan element that can exist in at least threeoxidation
states. The element in the form ofreacting substance is in the intermediateoxidation state; and both
higher and lower oxidation states of that element are formed inthe reaction.
Phosphorous and chlorine undergo disproportionation in the alkaline medium as shown below :
fluorine that, being the most electronegative element, it cannot exhibit any positive oxidation
state. This means that among halogens, fluorine does not show a disproportionation tendency
(a) Half Reaction Method: In this method, the two half equations are balanced separately and then
added together to give balanced equation.
Step 1: Produce unbalanced equation for the reaction in ionic form :

Fe 2+(aq) + Cr2O72– (aq) → Fe 3+ (aq) + Cr 3+(aq)
1.Separate the equation into half reactions:

lOMoARcPSD|27194696
2. Balance the atoms other than O and H in each half reaction individually
Balance the O atoms in each half reaction individually by adding required of water molecules to the side
deficient in terms of oxygen
Cr2O72– (aq) → 2Cr 3+(aq) + 7H2O (l)
Balance hydrogen atom (a)For reactions occurring in acidic medium, add H+ to balance H atoms to the
side deficient in term of hydrogen.
Cr2O72– (aq) +14H+ → 2Cr 3+(aq) + 7H2O (l)
Balance charge : Add electrons to one side of the half reaction to balance the charges. The oxidation half
reaction is thus rewritten to balance the charge:
Fe 2+ (aq) → Fe 3+ (aq) + e Cr2O72– (aq) +14H+ +6e → 2Cr 3+(aq) + 7H2O (l)
If need be, make the number of electrons equal in the two half reactions by multiplying one or both half
reactions by appropriate coefficients.
6Fe 2+ (aq) →6 Fe 3+ (aq) +6 e Cr2O72– (aq) +14H+ +6e → 2Cr 3+(aq) + 7H2O (l)
We add the two half reactions to achieve the overall reaction and cancel the electrons on each side. This
gives the net ionic equation as :
Cr2O72– (aq)+ 6Fe 2+ (aq) +14H+ → 2Cr 3+(aq) +6 Fe 3+ (aq) + 7H2O (l)
Verify that the equation contains the same type and number of atoms and the same charges on both
sides of the equation. This last check reveals that the equation is fully balanced with respect to number
of atoms and the charges.
For the reaction in a basic medium, first balance the atoms as is done in acidic medium. Then for each H +
ion, add an equal number of OH– ions to both sides of the equation. Where H+ and OH– appear on the
same side of the equation, combine these to give H2O.
(ii) Half Reaction Method in basic medium : In this method, the two half equations are balanced
separately and then added together to give balanced equation.
Step 1: Produce unbalanced equation for the reaction in ionic form :
for eg. Permanganate (VII) ion, MnO4– in basic solution oxidises iodide ion, I– to produce molecular
iodine (I2) and manganese (IV) oxide (MnO2). Write a balanced ionic equation to represent this redox
reaction.
MnO4– (aq) + I– (aq) → MnO2(s) + I2(s)
I– (aq) → I2(s) MnO4– (aq) → MnO2(s)
2I– (aq) → I2(s) MnO4– (aq) → MnO2(s)
Balance the O atoms in each half reaction individually by adding required of water molecules to
the side deficient in terms of oxygen
2I– (aq) → I2(s) MnO4– (aq) → MnO2(s) + 2H2O (l)
Balance hydrogen atom (b) For the reaction in a basic medium, first balance the H atoms as is done
in acidic medium. Then for each H+ ion, add an equal number of OH– ions to both sides of the
equation.

lOMoARcPSD|27194696
2I– (aq) → I2(s) MnO4– (aq) +4H+ → MnO2(s) + 2H2O (l)

MnO4– (aq) +4H+ + 4OH- → MnO2(s) + 2H2O (l) + 4OH-
Where H+ and OH– appear on the same side of the equation, combine these to give H2O
2I– (aq) → I2(s) MnO4– (aq) ++ 2H2O (l) → MnO2(s) + 4OH-
Balance charge : Add electrons to one side of the half reaction to balance the charges. The
oxidation half reaction is thus rewritten to balance the charge:
2I– (aq) → I2(s) +2e MnO4– (aq) + 2H2O (l) +3e → MnO2(s) + 4OH-
If need be, make the number of electrons equal in the two half reactions by multiplying one or both
half reactions by appropriate coefficients.
[2I– (aq) → I2(s) +2e ]x3 [MnO4– (aq) + 2H2O (l) +3e → MnO2(s) + 4OH- ] x2
6I– (aq) → 3 I2(s) +6e 2MnO4– (aq) + 4H2O (l) +6e → 2MnO2(s) + 8OH-
We add the two half reactions to achieve the overall reaction and cancel the electrons on each
side. This gives the net ionic equation as :
2MnO4– (aq) + 4H2O (l) + 6I– (aq) → 2MnO2(s) + 3 I2(s) +8OH-
Verify that the equation contains the same type and number of atoms and the same charges on
both sides of the equation. This last check reveals that the equation is fully balanced with respect
to number of atoms and the charges.
(2)Oxidation number method :

Step 1: Write the correct formula for each reactant and product.
Step 2: Identify atoms which undergo change in oxidation number in the reaction by assigning the
oxidation number to all elements in the reaction.
Cr2O72–(aq) + SO32–(aq) → Cr3+(aq) + SO42–(aq)
Step 3: Calculate the increase or decrease in the oxidation number per atom and for the entire
molecule/ion in which it occurs.
This indicates that the dichromate ion is the oxidant and the sulphite ion is the reductant.
(a) Increase in oxidation number per atom : 2

(b) decrease in oxidation number per atom : 3
calculate total Increase/decrease in oxidation number by multiplying it with total number of atoms
(c) Total Increase in oxidation number: 2 x 1(no. of sulpher atoms) = 2
(d) Total decrease in oxidation number: 3 x 2 (no.of chromium atoms) = 6
Make atoms other than O and H equal on both side
Cr2O72–(aq) + SO32–(aq) → 2 Cr3+(aq) + SO42–(aq)
Make total increase in oxidation number equal to total decrease in oxidation number by
Multiplying (c ) by 3 and multiply the species involved in increase in o.n. by three.
Cr2O72–(aq) + 3SO32–(aq) → 2Cr3+(aq) + 3SO42–(aq)
Balance the O atoms both side by adding required of water molecules to the side deficient in terms
of oxygen
Cr2O72–(aq) + 3SO32–(aq) → 2Cr3+(aq) + 3SO42–(aq) +4H2O

lOMoARcPSD|27194696
Balance hydrogen atom (a)For reactions occurring in acidic medium, add H+ to balance H atoms to
the side deficient in term of hydrogen
Cr2O72–(aq) + 3SO32–(aq) + 8H+ → 2Cr3+(aq) + 3SO42–(aq) +4H2O
Verify that the equation contains the same type and number of atoms and the same charges on
both sides of the equation. This last check reveals that the equation is fully balanced with respect
to number of atoms and the charges.
For the reaction in a basic medium, first balance the atoms as is done in acidic medium. Then for
each H+ ion, add an equal number of OH– ions to both sides of the equation. Where H+ and OH–
appear on the same side of the equation, combine these to give H2O.
Application of redox reactions:

The redox reactions find wide applications:
(a) In the study of electrode processes and cells.
(b)Extraction of metals
(c) supply of energy: by oxidation of fuels
(d)Production of Chemicals
(e) quantitative analysis : in redox systems, the titration method can be adopted to
determine the strength of a reductant/oxidant using a redox sensitive indicator
In one situation, the reagent itself is intensely coloured, e.g., permanganate ion, MnO4– .
Here MnO4– acts as the self indicator. The visible end point in this case is achieved after the last of the
reductant (Fe 2+ or C2O42–) is oxidised and the first lasting tinge of pink colour appears.

MnO4– (aq) → Mn 2+ (aq) SO2 (g) → HSO4– (aq)
MnO4– (aq) → Mn 2+ (aq) SO2 (g) → HSO4– (aq)
Balance the O atoms in each half reaction individually by adding required of water molecules to the

Balance hydrogen atom (a)For reactions occurring in acidic medium, add H+ to balance H atoms to the
side deficient in term of hydrogen.
MnO4– (aq) +8H+ → Mn 2+ (aq) + 4H2O SO2 (g)+ 2H2O → HSO4– (aq) +3H+
Balance charge : Add electrons to one side of the half reaction to balance the charges. The oxidation
half reaction is thus rewritten to balance the charge:

lOMoARcPSD|27194696
MnO4– (aq) +8H+ +5e- → Mn 2+ (aq) + 4H2O SO2 (g)+ 2H2O → HSO4– (aq) +3H+ + 2e-

side deficient in terms of oxygen
Cl2O7 (g) →2ClO2– + 3 H2O H2O2(aq) → O2(g)
Balance hydrogen atom For the reaction in a basic medium, first balance the atoms as is done in acidic
medium. Then for each H+ ion, add an equal number of OH– ions to both sides of the equation. Where
H+ and OH– appear on the same side of the equation, combine these to give H2O.
Cl2O7 (g)+ 6H++ 6OH- →2ClO2– + 3 H2O+6OH- H2O2(aq) + 2OH- → O2(g)+ 2H++ 2OH-

Balance charge : Add electrons to one side of the half reaction to balance the charges. The oxidation
half reaction is thus rewritten to balance the charge:
Cl2O7 (g)+ 3 H2O +8e- →2ClO2– +6OH- H2O2(aq) + 2OH- → O2(g)+ 2 H2O+2e-
If need be, make the number of electrons equal in the two half reactions by multiplying one or both
have reactions by appropriate coefficients.
Cl2O7 (g)+ 3 H2O +8e- →2ClO2– +6OH- 4H2O2(aq) + 8OH- → 4O2(g)+ 8 H2O+8e-
We add the two half reactions to achieve the overall reaction and cancel the electrons on each side.
This gives the net ionic equation as :
Cl2O7 (g)+ 4H2O2(aq) + 2OH- → 2ClO2– +4O2(g)+ 5 H2O

ORGANIC CHEMISTRY: SOME BASIC PRINCIPLES AND TECHNIQUES

KEY NOTES
Organic compounds are the hydrocarbons and their derivatives and organic chemistry is that
branch ofchemistry that deals with the study of these compounds.
Synthesis of first Organic compounds: Wohler synthesized an organic compound, urea
from an inorganiccompound, ammonium cyanate.
Tetravalency of Carbon :The atomic number of Carbon is 6 and its electronic configuration is 2,4
i.e. it has 4 valence electrons. It can share 4electrons with the other atoms to form 4 covalent
bonds. It is calledtetravalency of carbon.
Catenation- The self-linking property of carbon is known as catenation. This is the main reason
ofexistence of such large number of compound
The Shapes of Carbon Compounds: CH4 is sp3 hybridized and has tetrahedral structure. In
ethene, eachcarbon is sp2hybridized and it has planar structure. In C2H2, carbon is sp hybridized
and it is linear molecule.
Effect of hybridization on bond length and bond enthalpy: The bond length and bond
strength dependsupon hybridization.
sp hybridized: Carbon has 50% s character, and hence it is close to the nucleus and forms
shorter andstronger bond. It is most electronegative
sp2hybridized: Carbon has 33% s- character, and hence it is less close to the nucleus and forms
slightlylonger and less strong bonds than sp hybridized carbon. It is less electronegative than sp
hybridized.
sp3 hybridized: Carbon has 25% s-character and hence it is least close to the nucleus and forms
longer andleast strong bonds. It is bigger in size and is less electronegative than sp2 and sp
hybridized carbon.
Characteristic features of – bonds:

- Pi-bond is formed by sideways or lateral overlapping of parallel p-orbitals.
- The p-orbitals should be parallel and perpendicular to the plane of the molecule.
- Rotation of C=C is restricted.
- The electron cloud of the pi-bond lies above and below the plane of the bonding atom.
- This results in the electrons being easily available to attacking agents.
- pi bonds are more reactive than Sigma bond in unsaturated molecules.

NOMENCLATURE OF ALKANES
Straight chain alkanes: The names of such compounds is based on their chain structure, and
end withsuffix ‘-ane’ and carry a prefix indicating the number of carbon atoms present in the
chain.
Branched chain hydrocarbons:
1) The longest carbon chain in the molecule is identified.
2) The numbering is done in such a way that the branched carbon atoms get the lowest
possible value.
3) The names of the alkyl groups attached as a branch are then prefixed to the
name of the parent alkaneand its position is indicated by numbers.
4) The lower number is given to the first in alphabetical order.
5) The carbon atom of the branch that attaches to the root alkane is numbered
Organic compounds having Functional Groups: The longest chain of carbon atoms containing

lOMoARcPSD|27194696
the functional groups is numbered in such a way that the functional group attached to the
carbon atom gets thelowest possible number in the chain.
When there are more functional groups then a priority order is followed as:
-COOH, -SO3H, -COOR,- COCl, -CONH2, -CN, -HC=O, =C=O, -OH, -NH2, -C=C-, -CΞ C-.
Aromatic compounds:
Nomenclature of aromatic compounds: Benzene forms only one mono-substituted derivative. It
can formthree di-substituted derivatives; ortho (1,2), meta (1,3), para (1,4).
ISOMERISM
Two or more compounds having the same molecular formula but different physical and
chemical propertiesare called isomers and this phenomenon is called isomerism.
Classification of isomerism: Isomerism is basically classified into 2 types i.e,
1) Structural isomerism

lOMoARcPSD|27194696
2) Stereo isomerism
Structural isomerism: Compounds having same molecular formula but different structures are
calledStructural isomers..
Chain isomerism: When two or more compounds having same molecular formula but different
carbonskeletons, these are referred to as chain isomers and this phenomenon is called chain
isomerism.
Eg : Butane and isobutane.
Position Isomerism: Compounds which have the same structure of carbon chain but differ in
position ofdouble or triple bonds or functional group are called position isomers and this
phenomenon is called Position Isomerism.
eg :CH3-CH2-CH=CH2 ,CH3-CH = CH – CH3
Functional Isomerism: Compounds which have the same molecular formula but different
functional groupare called functional isomers and this phenomenon is called functional
Isomerism
eg :CH3 – CH2 – OH , CH3 – O – CH3
Metamerism: It is due to the presence of different alkyl groups on either side of functional
group in themolecule eg. C4H10O represents C2H5OC2H5 and CH3OC3H7.
FISSION OF COVALENT BOND
Heterolytic cleavage: In this cleavage the bond breaks in such a way that the shared pair of
electronremains with one of the fragment.
A species having a carbon atom possessing sextet of electrons and a positive charge is
called a carbocation (carbonium ion). The C + H3 ion is known as a methyl cation or
methyl carbonium ion. Carbocations are classified as primary, secondary or tertiary
depending on whether one, two or three carbons are directly attached to the positively
charged carbon.
The observed order of carbocation stability is:
C + H3< CH3C + H2< (CH3)2C + H < (CH3 ) 3C + .
The heterolytic cleavage can also give a species in which carbon gets the shared pair of
electrons. For example, when group Z attached to the carbon leaves without electron pair, the
methyl anion is formed. Such a carbon species carrying a negative charge on carbon atom is
called carbanion. Carbon in carbanionis generally sp3 hybridised . Carbanions are also unstable
and reactive species.

Homolytic Cleavage: This involves breaking of a covalent bond in such a way that each atom
separatesone electron of the shared pair.

lOMoARcPSD|27194696
Alkyl radicals are classified as primary, secondary, or tertiary. Alkyl radical stability increases
fromprimary to tertiary
Attacking reagents:
Nucleophiles: A reagent that brings an electron pair is called nucleophile eg –OH- ,-CN-
Electrophiles: A reagent that takes away an electron pair is called electrophile eg
Electronic displacements:
Inductive Effect: The permanent electron displacement along a chain due to the presence of a
polar covalent bond that is bond polarity is known as inductive effect. If an atom or group
attracts electron morestrongly than hydrogen, it is said to have –I Effect.
If an atom or group of atom attracts electron less strongly than hydrogen it is said to have +I
Effect.
Resonance Effect: The polarity produced in the molecule by the interaction of two pi bonds or
between api bond and lone pair of electron present on an adjacent atom.
There are two types of resonance effect:
1) Positive resonance effect: In this effect the transfer of electrons is away from an
atom or substituentgroup attached to the conjugated system. The atoms or groups
which shows +R effect are halogens, -OH , -OR,- NH2.
2) Negative resonance effect: In this effect the transfer of electrons is towards the
atom or substituent group attached to the conjugated system. The atoms or groups
which shows -R effect are –COOH , -CHO ,-CN
3) Electrometric effect: It involves the complete transfer of shared pair of electrons to one
of the atomsjoined by a multiple bond at the requirement of the attacking reagent. It is
temporary effect.
Hyperconjugation: Electron release by an alkyl group attached to unsaturated system. There
should be atleast one-H at alpha carbon with respect to sp2 hybrid carbon.
METHODS OF PURIFICATION OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS:
Sublimation: This method is used to separate the sublimable compounds from non sublimable
compounds.Crystallisation: This method is based on the difference in the solubilities of
compound and impurities in a suitable solvent.
Distillation: This method is used to separate volatile liquids from non-volatile liquids and liquids
havingsufficient difference in their boiling points.
Fractional distillation: If the boiling points of two liquids is not much, they are
separated by this method. Distillation under reduced pressure: This method is used to
purify liquids having high boiling points anddecomposes at or below their boiling points.
Steam distillation: This method is used to separate substances which are steam volatile and are
immisciblewith water

lOMoARcPSD|27194696
Differential Extraction: When an organic compound is present in an aqueous medium it is

separated byshaking it with organic solvent in which it is more soluble than in water.
Chromatography:
Adsorption Chromatography: It is based on the fact that different compounds are adsorbed on
anadsorbent to different degrees. Silica gel or alumina is used as adsorbents.
Partition Chromatography: It is based on the continuous differential partitioning of components
of amixture between stationary and mobile phase.
QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS

Detection of carbon and hydrogen: The carbon and hydrogen present in the organic compound
is deducted by heating the compound with copper (II) oxide in a hard glass tube when carbon
present in thecompound is oxidized to carbon dioxide which can be tested with lime water and
hydrogen converted to water which can be tested with anhydrous copper sulphate which turns
blue.
Detection of other elements:

Sodium fusion extract: A small piece of dry sodium metal is heated with an organic compound
in a fusiontube for 2-3 minutes and the red hot tube is plunged into distilled water contained in
a China dish the content of the China dish is boiled ,cooled and filtered. The filtrate is called as
sodium fusion extract.
Test for Nitrogen: The sodium fusion extract is boiled with iron II sulphate and then acidified
withConcsulphuric acid, the formation of Prussian blue colour confirms the presence of
nitrogen.
Test for Sulphur: The sodium fusion extract is acidified with acetic acid and lead acetate is
added to it. Ablack precipitate of lead sulphide indicates the presence of sulphur.
Test for halogens: The sodium fusion extract is acidified with nitric acid and then treated with
silver nitrate. A white precipitate, soluble in ammonium hydroxide shows the presence of
chlorine, a yellowish ppt. sparingly soluble in ammonium hydroxide shows the presence of
bromine, a yellowish ppt. insolublein ammonium hydroxide shows the presence of iodine.

and conjugated systems.
2. Electronegativity difference 2. It takes place due to
induces this effect interaction between two pibonds
towards the more or a pi bond and a lone pair of
electronegative atom to give electron
partial +ve or –ve charges.
3.Inductive effects are 3. The resonance effects are
transmitted over short distances transmitted all along the length
in saturated carbon chains and in the conjugated system. The
the magnitude of the effect electron pair is completely
decreases rapidly as thedistance transferred to form positive and

b. No, it is because CCl4 is non-polar compound, does not give Cl- in aqueous
solution, therefore itwill not form any precipitate with silver nitrate (aq).
c. Hyperconjugation is a general stabilising interaction. It involves delocalisation of σ
electrons of C—H bond of an alkyl group directly attached to an atom of unsaturated
system or to an atom with an unshared p orbital. The σ electrons of C—H bond of the
alkyl group enter into partial conjugation with the attached unsaturated system or with
the unshared p orbital. Hyperconjugation is a permanent effect.

CASE BASED QUESTIONS

1) Once an organic compound is extracted from a natural resource or synthesized in the
laboratory, it is essential to purify it. Various methods used for the purification of organic
compounds are based on the nature of the compound and the nature of the impurity present in
it. Finally, the purity of a compound isascertained by determining its boiling point and melting
point. Most of the pure compounds have sharp melting and boiling points. New methods of
checking the purity of an organic compound are based on different types of chromatographic
and spectroscopic methods.

 Physical Properties:-
(1) Nature:- Non-Polar due to covalent nature of C—C bond and C—H bond.
C1—C4 are gases, C5—C17 are colourless odourless liquid and higher are Solids.
(2) Solubility:- Like dissolve like Viz, Polar compounds dissolve in polar solvent and Non-Polar
compound dissolve in non polar solvent.
(3) Boiling point:- Low boiling point due to non polar in nature and weak Van der Waals’ forces.
The boiling point increases with increase the molecular mass as the magnitude of Van der
Waals’ forces is directly proportional to the molecular size.
The boiling points of the branched chain Alkanes are less than the straight chain isomers
because branching of the chain makes the molecule more compact and thereby decreases
the surface area and consequently, the magnitudes of Van der Waals’ forces get decreased.

Resonance and stability of benzene:

1. The six π electrons are thus delocalised and can move freely about the six carbon nuclei.
The delocalised π electron cloud is attracted more strongly by the nuclei of the carbon atoms
than the electron cloud localized between two carbon atoms. Therefore, presence of

lOMoARcPSD|27194696
delocalised π electrons in benzene makes it more stable.

2. All bonds have same bond length i.e.between single and double bond (139 pm)
3. Show reluctance to addition reaction.
Aromaticity: compounds possessing following characteristics –

(i) Planarity
(ii) Complete delocalisation of the π electrons in the ring
(iii) Presence of (4n + 2) π electrons in the ring where n is an integer (n=0,1, 2,3..)This is often
referred to as Hückel Rule.

a. b.
Ans. a .Pent-en-3-yne b. 2-methylphenol
2. What are the necessary conditions for any system to be aromatic?

Ans. A compound is said to be aromatic if it satisfies the following three conditions:
(i) Planar structure.
(ii) Completely delocalized π electrons in the ring.

Case based questions
1.Read the passage carefully and answer the questions.
1Alkanes contain carbon-carbon sigma (σ) bonds. Electron distribution of the sigma molecular
orbital is symmetrical around the internuclear axis of the C–C bond which is not disturbed
due to rotation about its axis. This permits free rotation about C–C single bond. This rotation
results into different spatial arrangements of atoms in space which can change into one
another. Such spatial arrangements of atoms which can be converted into one another by
rotation around a C-C single bond are called conformations or conformers or rotamers.
Alkanes can thus have infinite number of conformations by rotation around C-C single bonds.
However, it may be remembered that rotation around a C-C single bond is not completely
free. It is hindered by a small energy barrier of 1-20 kJ mol–1 due to weak repulsive interaction
between the adjacent bonds. Such a type of repulsive interaction is called torsional strain.
1. What is the reason of confermation?
2. Draw two confermers of ethane.
3. Which confermer of ethane is more stable?
4. Why ethene cant show confermation?

lOMoARcPSD|27194696
Or
What is dihedral angle?
ANS: 1. Free rotation of C-C sigma bond.
2.
3. staggered form is more stable due to less torsional strain.
4. Due to restricted rotation
2.Read the passage carefully and answer the questions.

Geometrical isomerism: Doubly bonded Carbon atoms have to satisfy the remaining two
Valences by joining with two atoms or groups. If the two atoms or groups attached to each
Carbon atom are different, they can be Represented by YX C = C XY like structure.
If the two identical atoms i.e., both the X or both the Y lie on the same side of the Double
bond but in (b) the two X or two Y lie Across the double bond or on the opposite Sides of the
double bond. This results in Different geometry of (a) and (b) i.e. disposition Of atoms or
groups in space in the two Arrangements is different. Therefore, they are Stereoisomers.
They would have the same Geometry if atoms or groups around C=C bond Can be rotated
but rotation around C=C bond Is not free. It is restricted.
1. What is the reason of geometrical isomerism?

2. Draw two geometrical isomers of but-2-ene.

In atoms, electrons occupy atomic orbitals, but in molecules they occupy similar
molecular orbitals which surround the molecule. There are two molecular orbitals for
hydrogen, the lower energy orbital has its greater electron density between the two
nuclei. This is the bonding molecular orbital - and is of lower energy than the two 1s
atomic orbitals of hydrogen atoms making this orbital more stable than two separated
atomic hydrogen orbitals. The upper molecular orbital has a node in the electronic wave
function and the electron density is low between the two positively charged nuclei. The
energy of the upper orbital is greater than that of the 1s atomic orbital and such an
orbital is called an anti bonding molecular orbital. Molecular orbitals are filled in
accordance with Aufbau principle, Pauli’s exclusion principle, and Hund’s rule of
maximum multiplicity.The molecular orbital configuration of O2 isσ1s2 σ∗1s2

Q.31 Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow. 4M
According to Arrhenius concept, acids give H+ ions while bases produce OH˗ ions in their
aqueous solutions. Bronsted-Lowry defined an acid as a proton donor and a base as a proton
acceptor. When a Bronsted – Lowry acid reacts with a base, it produces its conjugate base
and a conjugate acid corresponding to the base with which it reacts. Thus, a conjugate pair
of acid - base differs only by a proton. The strength of acids and bases can be measured in
terms of their dissociation constants Ka (or pKa) and Kb (or pKb). Larger value of Ka or lower
value of pKa corresponds to greater strength of acids. Similarly, larger value of Kb or lower
value of pKb corresponds to stronger base. PH finds vital role in cosmetic formulations and
buffer solution is used in blood bank.

In an organic reaction a covalent bond between two carbon atoms or a carbon and some
other atom is broken and a new bond is formed. A sequential account of each step,
describing details of electron movement, energetics during bond cleavage and bond
formation, and the rates of transformation of reactants into products kinetics) is referred to
as reaction mechanism. A species having a carbon atom possessing sextext of electrons and a

lOMoARcPSD|27194696
positive charge is called a carbocation (earlier called carbonium ion). The CH3+ion is known as
a methyl cation or methyl carbonium ion. Carbocations are classified as primary, secondary or
tertiary depending on whether one, two or three carbons are directly attached to the
positively charged carbon. Some other examples of carbocations are: CH3CH2+(ethyl cation, a
primary carbocation), (CH3)2CH+ (isopropyl cation, a secondary carbocation), and (CH3)3C+
(tert–butyl cation, a tertiary carbocation).Carbocations are highly unstable and reactive
species. Alkyl radiradicals are classified as primary, secondary, or tertiary. Alkyl radical
stability increases as we proceedfromprimary to tertiary: Organic reactions, which proceed by
homolytic fission are called free radical or homopolaror nonpolar reactions.

31 In order to explain the characteristic geometrical shapes of polyatomic molecules like
CH4, NH3 and H2O etc., Pauling introduced the concept of hybridisation. According to
him the atomic orbitals combine to form new set of equivalent orbitals known as
hybrid orbitals. Unlike pure orbitals, the hybrid orbitals are used in bond formation.
The phenomenon is known as hybridisation which can be defined as the process of intermixing of the orbitals
of slightly different energies so as to redistribute their energies, resulting in the formation of new set of
orbitals of equivalent energies and shape. For example when one 2s and three 2p-orbitals of carbon hybridise,
there is
the formation of four new sp3 hybrid orbitals.

Step 1. Conversion of mass per cent to grams
Since we are having mass per cent, it is convenient to use 100 g of the compound
as the starting material. Thus, in the 100 g sample of the above compound, 4.07g
hydrogen, 24.27g carbon and
71.65g chlorine are present.
Step 2. Convert into number moles of each element Divide the masses obtained
above by respective atomic masses of various elements. This gives the number of
moles of constituent elements in the compound
Moles of hydrogen =4.07 g/1.008g = 4.04
Moles of carbon = 24.27 g/12. 01g = 2 .021
Moles of chlorine = 71.65g/ 35. 453 g = 2. 021
Step 3. Divide each of the mole values obtained above by the smallest number
amongst them
Since 2.021 is smallest value, division by it gives a ratio of 2:1:1 for H:C:Cl .
In case the ratios are not whole numbers, then they may be converted into whole
number by multiplying by the suitable coefficient.
Step 4. Write down the empirical formula by mentioning the numbers after
writing the symbols of respective elementsCH2Cl is, thus, the empirical formula of
the above compound.
Step 5. Writing molecular formula
(a) Determine empirical formula mass by adding the atomic masses of various
atoms present in the empirical formula. For CH2Cl, empirical formula mass is
12.01 + (2 × 1.008) + 35.453 = 49.48 g
(b) Divide Molar mass by empirical formula mass 98.96/49.48 = 2 = (n)
(c) Multiply empirical formula by n obtained above to get the molecular formula 3
Empirical formula = CH2Cl, n = 2. Hence molecular formula is C2H4Cl2.

and carries 4 (1+1+2) marks each. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions
that follow.
31. Read the passage and answer the questions.

Molecular orbitals are formed by the overlap of atomic orbitals. Two atomic orbitals combine
to form two molecular orbitals called bonding molecular orbital (BMO) and anti bonding

lOMoARcPSD|27194696
molecular orbital (ABMO). Energy of anti bonding orbital is raised above the parent atomic
orbitals that have combined and the energy of the bonding orbital is lowered than the parent
atomic orbitals. Energies of various molecular orbitals for elements hydrogen to nitrogen
increase in the order:
Different atomic orbitals of one atom combine with those atomic orbitals of the second atom
which have comparable energies and proper orientation. Further, if the overlapping is head
on, the molecular orbital is called ‘Sigma’, (σ) and if the overlap is lateral, the molecular orbital
is called ‘pi’, (π). The molecular orbitals are filled with electrons according to the same rules as
followed for filling of atomic orbitals. However, the order for filling is not the same for all
molecules or their ions. Bond order is one of the most important parameters to compare the
strength of bonds.
Answer the following.

a. Calculate the bond order for Hydrogen molecule.
b. Calculate the bond order for He

c. Calculate the bond order and magnetic nature of Oxygen molecule
or
Calculate the bond order and magnetic nature of Nitrogen molecule
Read the passage and answer the questions.

32. The Lewis structure or dot structure, dash structure, condensed structure and bond line structural
formulas are some of the specific types. The Lewis structures, however, can be simplified by
representing the two-electron covalent bond by a dash (–). Such a structural formula focuses on the
electrons involved in bond formation. A single dash represents a single bond, double dash is used for
double bond and a triple dash represents triple bond. Lone- pairs of electrons on heteroatoms (e.g.,
oxygen, nitrogen, sulphur, halogens etc.) may or may not be shown. Thus, ethane (C2H6), ethene (C2H4),
ethyne (C2H2) and methanol (CH3OH) can be represented by the following structural formulas. Such
structural representations are called complete structural formulas. For simplification, organic chemists
use another way of representing the structures, in which only lines are used. In this bond-line structural
representation of organic compounds, carbon and hydrogen atoms are not shown and the lines
representing carbon-carbon bonds are drawn in a zig-zag fashion. The only atoms specifically written
are oxygen, chlorine, nitrogen etc. The terminals denote methyl (–CH3) groups (unless indicated
otherwise by a functional group), while the line junctions denote carbon atoms bonded to appropriate
number of hydrogens required to satisfy the valency of the carbon atoms.
a. How many sigma and pi bonds are there in but- 2-ene?
b. The terminal group denote which group in bond line formula?
c. Represent the bond line formula of 2- bromo butane.
Or
Represent the bond line formula of cyclopropane.

(a) Crystallisation Crystallisation is one of the most commonly used techniques for the purification of solid
organic compounds. Principle: It is based on the difference in the solubilities of the compound and the
impurities in a given solvent. The impure compound gets dissolved in the solvent in which it is sparingly
soluble at room temperature but appreciably soluble at higher temperature. The solution is concentrated to
obtain a nearly saturated solution. On cooling the solution, the pure compound crystallises out and is
removed by filtration.
(b) Distillation This method is used to separate volatile liquids from non-volatile impurities or a mixture of
those liquids that have a sufficient difference in their boiling points. Principle: It is based on the fact that
liquids having different boiling points vaporise at different temperatures. The vapours are then cooled and
the liquids so formed are collected separately down
(c) Chromatography It is one of the most useful methods for the separation and purification of organic
compounds. Principle: It is based on the difference in movement of individual components of a mixture
through the stationary phase under the influence of mobile phase. (2+2+1)

31) When anions and cations approach each other, the valence shell of anions are pulled towards
cation nucleus and thus, shape of anion is deformed. The phenomenon of deformation of anion by a
cation is known as polarization and the ability of the cation to polarize the anion is called as polarizing
power of cation. Due to polarization, sharing of electrons occurs between two ions to some extent and
the bond shows some covalent character. The magnitude of polarization depends upon a number of

lOMoARcPSD|27194696
factors. Thesefactors were suggested by Pajan and are known as Fajan's rules.
i. Greater is the polarization in a molecule, more is covalent character.
ii. As the charge on cation increases, its tendency to polarize the anion increases.
iii. The size of the cation decreases or size of the anion increases, the polarization increases.

27 i. Halogens have very high negative electron gain enthalpies because 1
they can attain stable noble gas electronic configurations by picking up an 1
electron.
ii. Mg2+ ion is smaller than O2-ion although both have the same 1
electronic configuration because of higher nuclear charge.
iii. Electron gain enthalpy of fluorine is less negative than that of
chlorine. This is because when an electron is added to F, the added electron
goes to the smaller n = 2 quantum level and suffers significant repulsion from
the other electrons present in this level.
