17 (a) Both metals and nonmetals are present in p-block elements, but the number of nonmetals is 2
much greater than that of metals. Furthermore, within a group, the metallic character increases
from top to bottom, while the non-metallic character increases from left to right along a period
in this block.
(b) Their ionization enthalpies are higher than those of s-block elements.
(c) They mostly combine to form covalent compounds.
(d) Some of them have compounds with multiple (variable) oxidation states. In a period, their
oxidizing character increases from left to right, while their reducing character increases from
top to bottom.
18 a) A nickel atom loses two electrons from its outermost shell, the 4s orbital, to form a Ni2+ ion: 2
b) 0.5 mol Na2CO3: The number of moles of sodium carbonate. 0.5 M Na2CO3: The molarity
of sodium carbonate, which is the number of moles of sodium carbonate per liter of
solution.
19 a) Isoelectronic species are atoms, ions, or molecules that have the same number of electrons
and the same electronic structure.
b) Potassium ion (K+), Calcium ion (Ca2+), Chloride ion (Cl-), and Sulfide ion (S2-).
20 Fluorine's electron gain enthalpy is less negative than chlorine's because of the small size of the
fluorine atom:
Small size: The 2p-subshell of fluorine is smaller than the 3p-subshell of chlorine.
Strong interelectronic repulsions: The small size of fluorine's 2p-subshell causes strong
repulsions between electrons.
Less attraction: The incoming electron doesn't feel much attraction from the nucleus because
of the strong repulsions.

17 The increasing order of effective nuclear charge (Zeff) experienced by the electron present in 2
them is s > p > d because s is close to the nucleus, and it will shield the nuclear charge more
effectively.
18 a) The law of multiple proportions states that when two elements combine to form more 2
than one compound, the masses of one element that combine with a fixed mass of the
other element are in the ratio of small whole numbers.
b) 0.5 mol Na2CO3: The number of moles of sodium carbonate.
0.5 M Na2CO3: The molarity of sodium carbonate, which is the number of moles of
sodium carbonate per liter of solution.
19 c) Isoelectronic species are atoms, ions, or molecules that have the same number of electrons

d) Potassium ion (K+), Calcium ion (Ca2+), Chloride ion (Cl-), and Sulfide ion (S2-).
20 Le Chatelier's principle states that when a system in equilibrium is disturbed, the system will 2
adjust itself to reduce the change and reestablish equilibrium.
21 The positive resonance effect, also known as the +M effect, occurs when groupsrelease 2
electrons to other molecules, increasing the electron density of the molecule
(OR)
Distillation- different liquids boil at different temperatures.
Chromatography- molecules in mixture apply onto the surface or into the solid, and fluid
stationary phase is separating from each other while moving with the aid of a mobile phase.
