SECTION D

29. Modern periodic table arranges the elements in the increasing order of atomic number. It has
18 groups and 7 periods. Atomic numbers are consecutive in a period and increases in group in a
pattern. Elements are divided into four blocks, s-block, p-block, d-block and f-block based on their
electronic configuration. 78% of elements are metals, about 20 elements are non-metals and few
elements like B, Si, Ge, As are metalloids. Metallic character increases down the group but decreases
along the period from left to right. The physical and chemical properties vary periodically with their
atomic numbers.

Periodic trends are observed in atomic size, ionisation enthalpies, electron gain enthalpies,
electronegativity and valence. Oxides of metals are basic, some are amphoteric. Non-metals form
acidic oxides, some form neutral oxides. s-block elements are soft, highly reactive, do not show
variable oxidation states. p-block elements are metals, non-metals as well as metalloids, show
variable oxidation states, exist as solids, liquids and gases. d-block elements are metals, form
coloured ions, show variable oxidation states, have high melting and boiling points. Lanthanoids
and actinoids are f-block elements, form coloured ions. All actinoids are radioactive.

(ii)Write the general outer electronic configuration of p & d block elements

(iii) On the basis of quantum numbers, justify that the 6th period of the periodic table should have
32 elements.

30. Equilibrium constant, Kc is independent of initial concentrations. But if a system at equilibrium

is subjected to a change in the concentration of one or more of the reacting substances, then the
system is no longer at equilibrium; and net reaction takes place in some direction until the system
returns to equilibrium once again. Similarly, a change in temperature or pressure of the system may
also alter the equilibrium.
In order to decide what course the reaction adopts and make a qualitative prediction about the
effect of a change in conditions on equilibrium we use Le Chatelier’s principle.

It states that a change in any of the factors that determine the equilibrium conditions of a system
will cause the system to change in such a manner so as to reduce or to counteract the effect of the
change. This is applicable to all physical and chemical equilibria.

Answer the following questions:

a) Using Le – Chatelier principle, predict the effect ofIncreasing the temperature in each of the following
equilibrium systems:
i) N2(g)+3H2(g) ⇄ 2NH3(g) (Exothermic)
ii) N2(g)+O2(g)+Δ ⇄ 2 NO(g) (Endothermic)
b)Describe the effect of partial pressures of the given reactants on the equilibrium of the reaction:

i) addition of H2 ii) removal of CO
