Oxygen and sulphur both are the member of same group in periodic table but H2O is liquid while H2S is gas because

  • molecular weight of water is more

  • electronegativity of sulphur is more

  • H2S  is weak acid

  • water molecules are having weak hydrogen bonds between them


177.

  • SO2

  • NO2

  • O2

The pair of elements having approximately equal ionisation potential is

  • Al, Ga

  • Al, Si

  • Al, Mg

  • Al, B


A.

Al, Ga

Ionisation energy increases with decrease in atomic size and decrease in shielding effect.

The electronic configuration of Al and Ga are

Al(13)= 1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s2, 3p1
Ga(31) =1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s2, 3p6, 3d10, 4s2, 4p1

As the electronic configuration shows there are ten d-electrons in Ga which shield the nuclear charge less effectively than the s and p electrons. Hence, the outer electron is held fairly strongly by the nucleus. Consequently, ionisation energy slightly increases inspite of the increase in atomic size from Al to Ga. Hence, Al (IE= 577) and Ga (IE= 578) have approximately equal ionisation potential (or ionisation energy).
