Note: The definition of electron affinity used is the energy involved when an atom in the gas phase acquires an
electron. Some texts use a different definition. Therefore, for example, the electron affinity for F is –328 kJ/mol. In
class, we emphasize that the affinity for an addition electron beyond the number in the neutral atom increases
(becomes more negative) moving across a period.

(b) O The trend is to decrease down the periodic table.
(c) Cl The trend is to be more negative to the right and less negative down the periodic table
(d) O2– Ions are larger than neutral atoms. O2– and F– are isoelectronic, but the O2– ion has only 8
protons in its nucleus to attract the 10 electrons whereas the F– ion has 9.
7.32 (a) F < O < S The trend is to increase to the left and down the periodic table.
(b) Based on a knowledge of first-order periodic trends, we would predict that S should have the largest
IE of the group P, Si, S, and Se. However, recall that the O atom IE is smaller than that of N, so it is
not surprising that the same effect carries over into the third period. That is, the order of ionization
energies is Si < Se < S < P.
(c) F– < O2– < N3– These ions are isoelectronic and size increases as the number of protons in the
nucleus available to attract the electrons decreases.
(d) Cs < Ba < Sr The trend is to increase to the right and decrease down the periodic table.

electrons
7.63 For Li+, there is one less electron to be attracted by the same nuclear charge, but the outer electrons are in
the n = 1 shell, closer to the nucleus. For F–, there is one additional electron in the 2p orbital. This adds
additional electron–electron repulsions while the nuclear charge remains the same.
7.64 K2+ Potassium has one outer shell electron, so it is unlikely to form a 2+ ion
4+
Al Aluminum has three outer shell electrons, so it is unlikely to form a 4+ ion
F2– Fluorine has seven outer shell electrons, so adding one electron forms an anion with the same
number of electrons as the nearest noble gas. Adding a second electron would increase
electron–electron repulsions and require a great amount of energy.
7.65 (a) Mg has a full 3s subshell while Al has one additional electron in the 3p subshell
(b) P has a half-filled 3p subshell while S has one additional electron in the 3p subshell

The actual IE value is between the two extreme limits. This suggests that in He one electron probably
screens the other from the full nuclear charge to some extent, but not completely.
7.67 Most stable: (d) The two electrons are in separate orbitals, following Hund’s rule, and are of the same spin.
Least stable: (a) In this case the electrons violate both Hund’s rule and the Pauli exclusion principle.
7.68 Sn—Cl: Calculated bond distance = 141 pm + ½(200 pm) = 241 pm Actual bond distance = 233 pm
Sn—Br: Calculated bond distance = 141 pm + ½(228 pm) = 255 pm Actual bond distance = 250 pm
Sn—I: Calculated bond distance = 141 pm + ½(266 pm) = 274 pm Actual bond distance = 270 pm

7.70 For s- and p-block elements, first ionization energy generally decreases down a group because the electron
removed is increasingly farther from the nucleus, thus reducing the nucleus-electron attractive force.
7.71 (a) In going from one element to the next across a period, the effective nuclear charge increases slightly
and the attraction between the nucleus and electrons increases.
(b) The slight decrease in atomic radius of the transition metals is a result of increased repulsions of
(n–1)d electrons for ns electrons. This repulsion reduces the effects of the increasing nuclear charge
across a period.
7.72 Li, lithium Of the four elements shown, only Li is in Group 1A. The loss of the first electron results in an
ion with a filled outer shell. Removal of a second electron (from a filled electron shell) would require a
much larger amount of energy.
7.73 There are many arguments for an Mg/O compound being composed of Mg 2+ and O2– ions. A few are:
(1) The groups characteristically form ions with noble gas configurations; Group 2A loses two electrons
and Group 6A gains two electrons.
(2) Look at other ionic compounds from the same groups; MgS and CaO.
(3) Calculate and compare fH° values for the two compounds Mg+/O– and Mg2+/O2–. The Mg2+/O2–
combination is more favorable thermodynamically.
Some possible experiments:
(1) Determine the first and second ionization energy values for Mg and the first and second electron
affinity values for O.
(2) Determine the melting point of MgO and compare it to the +1/–1 compound NaF (990 °C) and
the +2/–2 compound CaO (2580 °C).
7.74 Ca is smaller than K, so we would expect the first IE of Ca to be greater than that of K. Once K has lost one
electron, it has a noble gas (Ar) configuration. Removal of a second electron (from a filled electron shell)
requires much additional energy. Ca, on the other hand, can lose a “second” electron to obtain a noble gas
configuration with a much smaller amount of energy (smaller IE).
7.75 (a) The effective nuclear charge increases, causing the valence orbital energies to become more negative
on moving across the period.

The Structure of Atoms and Periodic Trends
(b) As the valence orbital energies become more negative, it is increasingly difficult to remove an electron
from the atom, and the IE increases. Toward the end of the period, the orbital energies have become so
negative that removing an electron requires significant energy. Instead, the effective nuclear charge has
reached the point that it is energetically more favorable for the atom to gain an electron
7.76 Generally the increasing effective nuclear charge across a period causes ionization energy to also increase.
For sulfur, however, two of its four 2p electrons are paired in the same orbital. The greater repulsion
experienced by these electrons makes it easier to remove one of them, and the ionization energy of sulfur is
lower than expected.
7.77 Atomic radius decreases from potassium to vanadium. Because the mass of these elements increases from
K to V as the radius decreases, the density is expected to increase.
7.78 The fifth and sixth period transition metals have similar atomic radii. The sixth period transition metals
have a higher mass resulting in higher density for the sixth period transition metals.
7.80 To form CaF3, calcium would have to form a 3+ cation. Since calcium (in Group 2A) normally forms 2+
cations (with noble gas configuration), the formation of the 3+ cation is highly unlikely.

7.82 (a) The reducing agent is Na. The low ionization energy of sodium plays a major role in making it a
good reducing agent.
(b) The oxidizing agent is Cl2. Among other properties, the element has a high electron affinity.
(c) Na2Cl would have a Cl2– ion. Adding a second electron to Cl– means placing an electron in a higher
energy electron shell. Conversely, NaCl2 would have a Na2+ ion. Here one would have to remove the
second electron from the atom’s core.
2. Y has a [Kr]4d15s2 configuration, while La has a [Xe]5d16s2 configuration and Lu has a [Xe]4f145d16s2
configuration. Based on electronic structure, both La and Lu are appropriately located under yttrium. All
three atoms have electronic structures that finish with a filled outermost s-orbital and one electron in the
outermost d-orbital.

(b) The most common oxidation state is +3. The electronic configuration is [Xe]4f7.
4. (a) The electron configuration of the outermost shell of La and Lu is 6s2. Lutetium’s 14 additional
electrons are located in the 4f orbitals. These electrons are poorly shielding so that the outermost
electrons feel a large portion of the charge from the additional 14 protons in the nucleus.
(b) The elements in the 5d block have similar radii to the atoms directly above them in the 4d block.
Lanthanum and yttrium have similar radii, so it might be considered a more appropriate fit below
yttrium on the periodic table.
