                        b)         F- or F                                      d)         K+ or Na+

18.       Arrange the species in each set in order of increasing ionization energy.

                        a)         Al, P, Si                                   d)         Ca, Mg, Sr

                        b)         Ar, He, Ne                              e)         Br, Cl, I

                        c)         Fe, Fe2+, Fe3+

19.       Which member of each pair has the greater electron affinity?

                        a)         Ar or Cl                                   c)         F or O

                        b)         Br or Cl                                   d)         Al or Mg

Explanation / Answer

17. Cation radius always less than the neutral atom

Anion radius always larger than the neutral atom

a)         Fe or Fe3+      Fe is larger radius                          c)         O or O2-   O2- is larger radius

b)         F- or F     F- is larger radius                                d)         K+ or Na+      K+ is larger radius

18.

a)         Al, P, Si   Al<Si<P                                d)         Ca, Mg, Sr   Sr<Ca<Mg

   b)         Ar, He, Ne Ar<Ne<He                            e)         Br, Cl, I    I<Br<Cl

    c)         Fe, Fe2+, Fe3+ Fe<Fe+2 <Fe3+

19.

a)         Ar or Cl Cl has the greater electron affinity                                 c)         F or O O has the greater electron affinity

   b)         Br or Cl Cl has the greater electron affinity                                 d)         Al or Mg Al has the greater electron affinity
