Chapter 9, Problem 43E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

From the species Cl, Cl+ and Cl- the species with highest and lowest polarizabilities should be determined.

Concept introduction:

Polarizability of an atom provides a measure of the extent to which its electron cloud can be distorted and it increases with the size of the atom.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
A.)  What is meant by the term polarizability?                     B.)   Which of the following atoms would you expect to be most polarizable? O2, S, Se, or Te
Which of the species NP, NP+ and NP2− would be paramagnetic? Briefly explain why (one sentence).
At large interatomic separations, an alkali halide moleculeMX has a lower energy as two neutral atoms, M + X; atshort separations, the ionic form (M+)(X-) has a lowerenergy. At a certain distance, Rc, the energies of the twoforms become equal, and it is near this distance that theelectron will jump from the metal to the halogen atom during a collision. Because the forces between neutral atomsare weak at large distances, a reasonably good approximation can be made by ignoring any variation in potentialV(R) for the neutral atoms between Rc and R - `. For theions in this distance range, V(R) is dominated by theirCoulomb attraction.(a) Express Rc for the first ionization energy of the metalM and the electron affinity of the halogen X.(b) Calculate Rc for LiF, KBr, and NaCl using data fromAppendix F.
