    Electrolytic Conductance

    The ability of a solution to conduct electricity. It depends on factors like temperature, concentration of ions, and the nature of the electrolyte.

    Electromotive Force (EMF)

    The force responsible for maintaining a constant flow of electricity in a circuit. It can be thought of as the 'push' that keeps electrons moving.

    Electropositive

    Describes a material where electrons move freely, allowing for good electrical conductivity.

    Electrolysis

    The process of using an electric current to break down a chemical compound. It involves the formation of ions in a solution.

    Oxidation States in Transition Elements

    The oxidation states of transition elements differ by unity (e.g., +2 and +3 for Fe). Non-transition elements have oxidation states that differ by two units (e.g., +2 and +4 for Sn).

    Oxidation State Trends in Periodic Table

    Heavier transition elements often favor higher oxidation states (e.g., W(VI) is more stable than Cr(VI)). In contrast, heavier p-block elements tend to have lower oxidation states due to the inert pair effect (e.g., Pb(II) is more stable than Sn(II)).

    Spin-Only Magnetic Moment

    The spin-only magnetic moment of an ion can be calculated using the formula √n(n+2) BM, where n is the number of unpaired electrons. For example, M2+ with 3 unpaired electrons has a magnetic moment of 3.87 BM.

    High Second Ionization Enthalpy of Cr and Cu

    Cr and Cu have unusually high second ionization enthalpies because removing a second electron disrupts their stable d5 and d10 configurations, respectively, leading to a loss of exchange energy.

    Lower First Ionization Enthalpy of Cr

    Cr has a lower first ionization enthalpy than Zn because removing an electron from Cr doesn't change its d electron configuration. Zn, on the other hand, requires more energy to remove an electron from its 4s orbital.
