THE TYPES OF ELEMENTS

 Using electronic    configuration as the criterion ,we ordinarily recognise four general type of elements ; The inert gas elements  THe representative elements  The transition elements  The inner transition elements. "The classification of these elements into these groups is dependent on the extent to which the s,p,d and f orbitals are filled". (1) Inert Gases (a) s and p _orbital of the most shell of these elements are completely filled. The outermost electronic configuration in ns2np6. (b) HElium is also inert but it's electronic configuration is 1s2. (2) Representative or normal elements:- (a) Outermost shell of these elements is incomplete. The number of electrons is the outermost shell is less than eight. (b) Inner shells are complete. (c) s-  and p-block  elements except inert gases are called normal or representative elements. (3) Transition Elements ; (a) Last two shells of these elements namely outermost and penultimate shells are incomp...

IONIC RADIUS

  INTRODUCTION AND DEFINATION "The distance between the centre of of the nucleus of an  ion and the point upto which the nucleus has influence on its electron cloud." The limit of electron cloud  around nucleus cannot be determined with certainty. The radius of an ion is determined by determining  the internuclear distance in an ionic compound by X-ray measurements. This distance is then taken as the sum of the radii of the two ions involved. "If we know the radius of one ion, we  can calculate the radius of the other". "The atoms change into the ions either by the loss or gain of electrons". "A cation is always smaller than the corresponding atom ,whereas anion is always bigger than the corresponding atom". VARIATION OF IONIC RADII IN A GROUP:- Since the atomic size increases as we move down the group , therefore, ionic radius also  increases in moving from top to bottom in a group. Example:- ionic radii of alkali metals may be represented as: A...
