AI Generated Solution

To find the van der Waals radius of neon (Ne) given the internuclear distance between two adjacent atoms, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Concept of Van der Waals Radius**: - The van der Waals radius is defined as half of the internuclear distance between two non-bonded atoms. It represents the effective size of an atom when it is not bonded to another atom. 2. **Identify the Given Information**: ...

If internuclear distance between A atoms in A_(2) is 10 Å and between B atoms in B_(2) is 6Å , then calculate internuclear distance between A and B in Å [Electronegativity difference between A and B has negligible value].

It is not possible to measure the atomic radius prectsely since the electron cloub surrouding the atom does not have a sharp boundary. One practial approach to estimate the size of an atom of a non-metallic element is to measure the distance between two atoms when they are bound togther by a signle bond in a covalent molecule and then dividing by two. For metals we define the term "matellic radius" which is taken as half the internuclear distance separating the metal cores in the metallic crystal. Then van der waal's radius represents the over all size of the atoms which includes its valence shell in a non bonded situation. It is the half of the distance between two similar atoms in separate molecules in a solid. The atomis radius decreases across a period and increases down the group. Same trends are observed in case of ionic radius. Ionic radius of the species having same number of electrons depends on the number of protons in their nuclei. Sometimes, atomic and ionic radii give unexpected trends due to poor shielding of nuclear charge by d -and f- orbital electrons. Now answer the following three questions: Select the INCORRECT option regarding atomic//ionic sizes:

It is not possible to measure the atomic radius precisely since the electron cloud surrounding the atom does not have a sharp boundary. One practical approach to estimate the size of an atom of a non-metallic element is to measure the distance between two atoms when they are bound together by a single bond in a covalent molecule and then dividing by two. For metals we define the term "metallic radius" which is taken as half the inter nuclear distance separating the metal cores in the metallic crystal. Then van der waal's radius represents the over all size of the atoms which includes its valence shell in a non bonded situation. It is the half of the distance between two similar atoms in separate molecules in a solid. The atomic radius decreases across a period and increases down the group.
