Question

Match the properties given in Column I with the metals given in Column II.

Column I (Property)

Column II (Metal)

(A)

Element with highest second ionisation enthalpy

(i)

Co

(B)

Element with highest third ionisation enthalpy

(ii) Cr
(C) M in M(CO)6 is (iii) Cu
(D)

Element with highest heat of atomisation

(iv) Zn
(v) Ni

Solution

Part (A)

Cu+ ion has a 3d10 electronic configuration. It has a fully filled stable d10 configuration, thus it requires high energy to remove an electron from the fully filled d orbital. Therefore, Cu has the highest second ionisation enthalpy.

(A)(iii)

Part (B)

Zn2+ has a 3d10 electronic configuration. Zn2+ ion is highly stable due to the fully filled d10 configuration and thus it requires high energy to remove an electron from the fully filled d orbital. Therefore, Zn has the highest third ionization energy.

(B)(iv)

Part (C)

The M in M(CO)6is Chromium. A stable complex is formed when its EAN (Effective atomic number) is equal to the atomic number of the nearest noble gas. The nearest noble gas is Kr having atomic number 36.

EAN= Total electrons of metal + number of electrons given by ligand.

Each CO ligand contributes two electrons.

36=x+2(6)

(x)=3612=24

24 is the atomic number of chromium.

(C)(ii)

Part (D)

Heat of atomisation is defined as the energy required to break metal lattice into isolated gaseous atoms.

As the number of unpaired electrons increases, the metallic bond strength increases and thus atoms come closer and are held more tightly.

Thus, a metal with more number of unpaired electrons and higher effective nuclear charge will have higher enthalpy of atomisation.

Hence, among the given options Ni will have highest enthalpy of atomisation.

Electronic configuration of Ni:[Ar]3d84s2 It has 2 unpaired electrons.

(D)(v)

(A)(iii),(B)(iv),(C)(ii),
(D)(v).
