Q

Noble gases do not gain, lose or share elctrons. Why?

A

They have stable elctronic configuration ie their outermost shell is complete

22
Q

Name the 3 isotopes of Hydrogen

A

Protium, Deuterium, Tritium

23
Q

Chlorine has 2 isotopes, Cl-35 and Cl-37. But its average atomic mass is 35.5 and not 36. Why?

A

Because the Cl-35:Cl-37 existence ratio is 3:1. 1 atom of Cl-37 mass is 37 and 3 atoms of Cl-35 mass is 105. Hence avg mass is 142/2=35.5

24
Q

What is DUPLET arrangement of elctrons?

A

2 electrons in outermost shell ie K shell

25
Q

What is OCTET arrangement of electrons

A

8 electrons in the outerost shell of an atom

26
Q

Which type of chemical bond is formed by transfer of electrons from one atom to another?

A

Ionic bond / Electrovalent bond

27
Q

Which type of chemical bond is formed by mutual sharing of electrons between 2 atoms?

A

Covalent bond

28
Q

Chemical properties of iostopes of same element are similar. Why?

A

Chemical properties are dependent on the electronic configuration of an atom. Isotopes have same atomic number, same number of electrons and hence same electron configuration

29
Q

Physical properties of isotopes of the same element are different. Why?

A

Physical properties are dependent on the atomic mass. Isotopes have different mass number, different number of neutrons and hence different atomic masses

30
Q

The driving force for the atoms of elements otherthan Noble gases to combine chemically with other elements is

A

To attain stable electronic configuration of the nearest Noble gas

31
Q

Calcium will attain stable electronic configuration by ____ ____ ____ electrons

A

loss of two

32
Q

Chlorine will attain stable electronic configuration by ____ ____ ____ electrons

A

gain of one
