An in-depth analysis of the periodic trends and exceptions in ionization energy and electronegativity for representative (s- and p-block) elements. It covers the general trends observed across periods and groups, as well as the specific exceptions to these trends. The document also discusses the factors affecting electronegativity, including atomic radius, effective nuclear charge (zeff), oxidation state, and hybridization. The information presented in this document can be valuable for students studying chemistry, particularly those interested in understanding the periodic properties of elements and the underlying principles governing their behavior.

Fig.: The periodic trends of elements in the periodic table
For representative (s- and p- block) elements-Trend across a period: General trend -the Zeff increases in a period, hence IE increases. Table: Trend in ionisation energy across periods
Period No. Trend in ionisation energy Comments
2 Expected: Actual: Li < B < Be < C < O < N < F < Ne^ Li < Be < B < C < N < O < F < Ne
3 Expected Actual: Na < Al < Mg < Si < S < P < Cl < Ar^ Na < Mg < Al < Si < P < S < Cl < Ar Irregular Trend
4 Expected: Actual: K < Ga < Ca < Ge < Se < As < Br < Kr^ K < Ca < Ga < Ge < As < Se < Br < Kr
5 Rb < Sr < ln < Sn < Sb < Te < l < Xe Regular Trend 6 Cs < Ba < Tl < Pb < Bi < Po < At < Rn
For representative (s-and p-block) elements-Trend across a period:

Expected Actual Explanation
Be < B Mg < Al Ca < Ga
Be > B Mg > Al Ca > Ga
Be, Mg and Ca have fully-filled ns^2 orbitals
As < Se
As > Se
N, P and As have half-filled electronic configuration
For representative (s-and p-block) elements - Trend down the group: General trend-the size increases down a group, hence IE decreases. Table: Exceptions in the trend of variation of ionisation energy down the group
Exceptions to the trend across groups
Group No. Expected Actual Explanatin Overall order in group
Al > Ga Al ≈ Ga Poor shielding ofd-electrons in Ga B > Tl > Ga ≥ Al > ln ln > Tl ln < Tl Lanthanoidcontraction in Tl

Table: Effect of Atomic radius, Zeff, oxidation state and Hybridisation on Electro negativity
Factor Effect on EN
Atomic Radius Atomic radius ↑, EN↓
Li (r = 133 pm, EN = 1.0) Na (r = 155 pm, EN = 0.9)
Z (^) eff Zeff ↑, EN ↑
O(Z (^) eff = 4.55, EN = 3.5 F(Zeff = 5.20, EN = 4.0)
Oxidation State For the atoms of same element in different compunds, as ON↑, EN↑
EN of Fe3+^ > Fe2+, EN of O 2–^ < O –
Hybridisation Greater the %s chracter, greater is the attraction on the electrons, greater is the EN.
