Explain the following:
Ionisation enthalpy decrease in a group from top to bottom?
Advertisements
उत्तर
On moving down a group there is a gradual decrease in ionisation enthalpy. The decrease in ionisation enthalpy down a group can be explained in terms of net effect of the following factors:
(i) In going from top to bottom in a group, the nuclear charge increases.
(ii) There is a gradual increase in atomic size due to an additional main energy shell (n).
(iii) There is increase in shielding effect on the outermost electron due to increase in the number of inner electrons.
The effect of increase in atomic size and the shielding effect is much more than the effect of increase in nuclear charge. As a result, the electron becomes less and less firmly held to the nucleus as we move down the group. Hence, there is a gradual decrease in the ionization enthalpies in a group.

Assertion (A): Generally, ionisation enthalpy increases from left to right in a period.
