1. What are the favorable conditions for formation of cat ions?

► Low Ionisational potential
► Lesser Charge
► More atomic size of atoms forms cations easily
► Ions having Inert gases configuration formed easily

2. What is electrophilic addition reaction?

When the attacking species during the addition reaction is Electrophile, it is called electrophilic addition reaction. Ex; (+) (-) (+) (-) (+) (-)
CH2Br-CH2BràH2C-CH2+BrBr-àH2C=CH2+Br2-

3. What is nucleophilic addition reaction?

When the attacking species during the addition reaction is Nucleophilic, it is nucleophilic addition reaction. Ex; Acetaldehyde cynohydrin

4. How do you define free radical addition reaction? Give an example.

When unsaturated compounds undergo addition reactions with free radicals,
it is called free radical addition reaction.
Ex; CH3-CH = CH2+HBr-----------> CH3-CH2-CH2Br

5. What is addition reaction?

When atoms (or) group of atoms are added, to form more saturated compound it is called addition reaction.

6. Give the example for electrophilic substitution reaction.

The species, which accepts the electrons, are called Electrophilles (or) Electrophilic reagents.

When the atom (or) group of atoms present in the organic compound is replaced by another atom (or) group of atoms (electrophilic) is called electrophilic substitution reaction.

7. What are the favorable conditions for formation of Anions?

► High Electron affinity
► Small size

Less charge of an atoms form anion more easily

8. Define lattice energy.

The energy released when one mole of ionic crystal is formed by the combination of the corresponding gaseous (+ve) and (-ve) ions brought from infinite distance is called lattice energy.

9. What happens if Lattice energy increases?

► The Strength of ionic bond
► Stability of the Ionic compound
► Ease of formation of the Ionic bond Increases

10. What is Sublimation energy?

The amount of energy required to convert one mole of solid substance to vapor state is called Sublimation energy

11. What can you calculate by selecting Born-Haber cycle?

Born-Haber cycle is useful for calculation of lattice energy, heat of reaction and electron affinity.

13. What is the relation between reaction taking place in one of the several stages and the total amount of energy liberated in the reaction?

The relation between reaction taking place in one of the several stages and the total amount of energy liberated in the reaction is same.

14. Define limiting radius.

The ratio between the radius of cation and the radius of anion is called Limiting radius.

15. What is Co-ordination number?

The number of appositively charged ions surrounded a particular ion in an ionic crystal lattice is called co- ordination number

16. What is structure of Nacl and give the co-ordination number of Nacl?

The structure of Nacl is face centered Cubic and Co- ordination number of Nacl is 6

17. What is the structure of cscl and give the co-ordination number of Cscl?

The structure of cscl is Body Centered Cubic and the Co- ordination number of CsCl is 8

18. Ionic compound does not show the property of space isomerism, Give the reason?

Ionic bond is Electrostatic. It is non directional, so Ionic compounds does not show the property of Space Isomerism

21. Define polar covalent bond

The covalent bond formed by the unequal sharing of electrons between the two atoms is called polar covalent bond.

22. What is dipole?

In polar covalent molecule, one atom gets positive charge and the other one gets negative charge hence called dipole.

25. Define co-ordination covalent bond.

Co-ordination covalent bond is formed by the mutual sharing of pair of electrons between two atoms contributed by only one of the combining atoms.
