Question

Determine the differences In electronegativity ionic radius atomic radius and first ionization energy for oxygen and beryllium

Answer 1

Answer:

Electronegativity  = 1.87.

Ionic radius = 109 pm.

Atomic radius = -39 pm

First ionization energy = 410 kJ/mol

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since electronegativity, ionic radius, atomic radius and first ionization energy are periodic properties that have specific trends, we can summarize it by realizing that oxygen and beryllium belong the same period 2 and differ in group, 6A and 2A respectively.

In such a way, the required comparison is written below:

Electronegativity = 3.44 (oxygen) - 1.57 (beryllium) = 1.87.

Ionic radius = 140 pm (oxygen)- 31 pm (beryllium) = 109.

Atomic radius = 73 pm (oxygen) - 112 pm (beryllium) = -39 pm

First ionization energy = 1310 kJ/mol (oxygen) - 900 kJ/mol (beryllium) = 410 kJ/mol

It means that electronegativity, ionic radius and first ionization energy increases from left to right whereas the atomic radius from right to left.
