Kössel’s explanation of chemical bonding:

  1. Noble gases separate the highly electronegative halogens and the highly electropositive alkali metals.
  2. Halogens can form negatively charged ions by gaining an electron. Whereas alkali metals can form positively charged ions by losing an electron.
  3. These negatively charged ions and positively charged ions have a noble gas configuration that is 8 electrons in the outermost shell. The general electronic configuration of noble gases (except helium) is given by ns2np6.
  4. As unlike charges attract each other these unlike charged particle are held together by a strong force of electrostatic attraction existing between them. For example, MgCl2, the magnesium ion and chlorine ions are held together by force of electrostatic attraction. This kind of chemical bonding existing between two unlike charged particles is known as electrovalent bond.

If S and T are two sets such that S has 21 elements, T has 32 elements, and S ∩ T has 11 elements, how many elements does S ∪ T have?

It is given that: n(S) = 21, n(T) = 32, n(S ∩ T) = 11  We know that: n (S ∪ T) = n (S) + n (T) – n (S...

What are the characteristics of the transition elements and why are they called transition elements?

Transition elements are those elements in which the atoms or ions (in stable oxidation state) contain partially filled d-orbital. These elements lie in the d-block and show a transition of...

In what way is the electronic configuration of the transition elements different from that of the non-transition elements?

Transition metals have a partially filled d−orbital. Therefore, the electronic configuration of transition elements is (n − 1)d1-10 ns0-2. The non-transition elements either do not have a d−orbital or have a...

What are inner transition elements? Decide which of the following atomic numbers are the atomic numbers of the inner transition elements:

Inner transition metals are those elements in which the last electron enters the f-orbital. The elements in which the 4f and the 5f orbitals are progressively filled are called f-block...

(i) Why do we classify elements? (ii) In Mendeleev's Periodic Table, why was there no mention of noble gases like Helium. Neon and Argon?

(i) Different elements discovered in different times were found to possess different physical and chemical properties. But, it was difficult to study all the information or properties of these elements....

How is the variability of oxidation states of the transition elements different from that of the non-transition elements?

i. The variability in oxidation states of transition metals is due to the incomplete filling of d-orbitals in such a way that their oxidation states differ from each other by...
