What are the increasing order of molar conductivity of first group elements in water ?

Li+ < Na+ < K+ < Rb+ < Cs+

Li+ ion being heavily hydrated due to smallest size and hence it's hydrated radius become very large as result has the lowest mobility and Cs+ ion being less hydrated and smallest ionic radius hence has the highest mobility.

Cs+ < Rb+ < K+ < Na+ < Li+

The ions in solution are present as hydrated ions. The smaller the size of the ion, the greater the extent of hydration. So the size of hydrated ions becomes larger for smaller sized ion and vice versa.

Ionization energy of Boron is smaller than Beryllium even though effective nuclear charge is higher?

The electronic configurations of Boron and Beryllium are (₅B=1S²,2S²,2p¹) and (₄Be =1S²,2S²).

In Boron the outermost electron is present in the 2p orbital (low penetration power) and is less strongly bound than the electron present in a 2S orbital of Beryllium (Have more penetration power), which will has a higher Zeff. It is easier to ionize the Boron atom.

Of all noble metals, gold has got a relatively high electron affinity. Explain.

The increased effective nuclear charge due to poor screening by inner 4f and 5 d orbitals enhances the attracting ability and hence it has got high electron affinity.

The electronegativities of B, Al, Ga are 2.0, 1.5, 1.6 respectively. The trend is not regular. Explain.

As we go down the period the electronegativity decreases. But after Al, due to the presence of d electrons which have minimum shielding effect, the nuclear charge increases and hence electronegativity also increases.

The first ionization energy of carbon atom is greater than that of boron atom, whereas reverse is true for the second ionization energy. Explain.

The electronic configuration of carbon and boron are as follows:

C: 1S²,2s², 2px¹,2py¹

B: 2S², 2s²,  2px¹

Due to higher nuclear charge in carbon, the force of attraction towards valency electron is more in carbon atom and hence the first ionization energy is greater than boron atom. After loss of one electron, the mono-valent cations have the configurations as follows:

C: 1S2 ,2s2 2px1,

B: 2S² , 2s²,  

Configuration of B+ is stable one and hence the removal of electron is difficult in comparison to C+. Hence, second ionization potential of boron is higher than carbon.

The electron affinity of sulphur is greater than oxygen. Why?

This is because of smaller size of oxygen due to which it has got higher charge density and thus electronic repulsion increases as it takes electron. So its E.A. is less than sulphur.

In alkali metal group which is the strongest reducing agent in aqueous solution and why?

Lithium (Li) is the strongest reducing agent. Since I.P. decreases down the group we would expect that Li will have the lowest reducing power in that group. But since its hydration energy is very high and which in fact decreases down the group, Li will have highest reducing power.

In first period 1s is completed. Its capacity is of two electrons. In second period 2s 2p and in third period 3s 3p are completed. The capacity of these shells is of 8 electrons each. Thus, 2, 8 and 8 elements are present in first, second and third periods respectively.
