7. Read the following comprehension carefully and answer the questions (a) to (c).
The minimum amount of energy required to remove the most loosely bound electron from an isolated atom in the
gaseous state is known as ionisation energy or first ionisation energy or ionisation enthalpy (!E

) of the element.
The energy required to remove the second electron from the monovalent cation is called second ionisation enthalpy
(!E
2
). Similarly, we have third, fourth ......... ionisation enthalpies. The values of ionisation energy depends on a
number of factors such as (i) size of the atom (ii) screening effect (iii) nuclear charge (iv) half filled and fully filled
orbitals (v) shape of orbital. In periodic table, ionisation energy increases from left to right except few exceptions and
decreases from top to bottom in the group. Inert gas has the highest value of !.E. in the period.

7. Read the following comprehension carefully and answer the questions (a) to (c).
The properties of the elements (atomic/ionic radii, electron gain enthalpy, ionization enthalpy,
electronegativity, valency, oxidising/reducing power, acid/base character, etc.) which are directly or indirectly
related to their electronic configurations are called periodic properties. These properties show a regular gradation
on moving from left to right in a period or from top to bottom in a group. Down a group, the atomic/ ionic radii,
metallic character and reducing character increases while ionization enthalpy and electronegativity decreases.
Along a period from left to right, atomic/ionic radii and metallic character decreases while ionization enthalpy,
electronegativity, non-metallic character and oxidising power increases. However, electron gain enthalpy becomes
less negative down a group but more negative along a period. In contrast, inert gases have positive electron gain
enthalpies which do not show any regular trend.
