covalent radius
metallic radius
Solution
From Figure 8.1 we see that N and P are in the same group (Group 5A).
Therefore, the radius of N is smaller than that of P (atomic radius increases as we
go down a group).
Both Si and P are in the third period, and Si is to the left of P. Therefore, the
radius of P is smaller than that of Si (atomic radius decreases as we move from
left to right across a period).

c) Both ions have the same nuclear charge, but Fe has one more

electron (24 electrons compared to 23 electrons for Fe ) and hence
2+
greater electron-electron repulsion. The radius of Fe is larger.
I1 < I 2 < I 3
Solution
a) Oxygen and sulfur are members of Group 6A. They have the same
2 4
valence electron configuration ( ns np ), but the 3p electron in
sulfur is farther from the nucleus and experiences less nuclear
attraction than the 2p electron in oxygen. Thus, we predict that
sulfur should have a smaller first ionization energy.

Example 8.4 (3 of 4)
b) The electron configurations of Li and Be are 1s 2 2 s1 and 1s 2 2 s 2 ,
respectively. The second ionization energy is the minimum energy
required to remove an electron from a gaseous unipositive ion in
its ground state. For the second ionization process, we write
Li + ( g ) → Li 2 + ( g ) + e −
1s 2 1s 1
Be + ( g ) → Be 2 + ( g ) + e −
1s1 2 s 1 1s 2
Because 1s electrons shield 2s electrons much more effectively than
they shield each other, we predict that it should be easier to remove a
2s electron from Be than to remove a 1s electron from Li .
