Question

Identify the properties that directly depend on the electronic configuration of an atom.

• A. Valency
• B. Ionisation energy
• C. Electron gain enthalpy
• D. Electronegativity

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (C), (D)

The correct options are
A

Valency

B

Ionisation energy

C

Electron gain enthalpy

D

Electronegativity

Atomic radius, valency, Ionisation energy, electron gain enthalpy and electronegativity are properties that directly depend on the electronic configuration of an atom. But properties like melting point, boiling point, density, enthalpy of vapourisation and enthalpy of fusion are properties that are indirectly dependent on the electronic configuration of an element.
