Question

How energy released due to exchange of electron can increase stability of atom ?
Why outer shell electron electron repulsion is required for stability of atom ?

Solution

The energy released due to exchange of electrons having parallel spins is called exchange energy.This leads to decrease in the energy of the arrangement/atom and thus increases the stability of atom.

Q. What is the number of electrons needed by a Hydrogen atom in its outermost shell to attain stability?

Q. Assertion :Half-filled and fully-filled degenerate orbitals are more stable. Reason: Extra stability is due to the symmetrical distribution of electrons and exchange energy.

Q. Li has 1 electron in its outer shell, Cl has 7 electrons in its outer shell. Li and Cl will form an ionic bond between them to gain stability.

A carbocation is a group of atoms with a positively charged carbon atom having six electrons in the valence shell after sharing. Carbocations are formed in the heterolysis of a bond and are planar species. Stability of carbocation is determined by inductive effect, hyperconjugation and resonance effect. Greater the number of contributing structures more is the stability of a Carbocation. Electron releasing groups (+I effect) increases the stability of a carbocation whereas the electron withdrawing groups (I effect) have an opposite effect.

Which of the following is most stable carbocation?

Q. Assertion :Third ionisation energy of phosphorus is larger than sulphur. Reason: There is a larger amount of stability associated with filled s- and p-subshells (a noble gas electron configuration) which correspond to having eight electrons in the valence shell of an atom or ion.
