Explain the following according to Modern periodic table: ltbr. (a) Electronegativity of elements increase on moving from left to right in a paeiod.
(b) Ionisation enthalpy decrease in a group from top to bottom.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
(a) On moving left to right in a period, tendency of an atom to attract the shared electron pair towards itself increases due to increasing `Z_(eff)`. So, electronegativity of elements increase on moving from left to right in a period.
(b) On moving top to bottom in a group, size increases due to addition of extra shells. So, attraction of nucleus outermost electron decreases. So, ionisation enthalpy decrease in a group from top to bottom.
