SETS (Collection of well defined objects)

-

                 INTRODUCTION

In our mathematical language, everything in this universe, whether living or -living is called an object.

A given collection of objects is said to be well defined, if we can definitely say either a given particular object belongs to the collection or not. 

SET: A well-defined collection of objects is called a set. The objects in a set are called its members or elements.

We denote sets by capital letters A, B, C, X, Y, Z, etc. If a is an element of a set A, we write, a e A, which means that a belongs to or that a is an element of A.

If a does not belong to A, we write, a € A.

ILLUSTRATIONS

(I) The collection of all vowels in the English alphabet is the set containing five elements, namely a, e, i, o, u. f. 

(I I)The collection of all even natural numbers less than 10, is the set containing the numbers 2, 4, 6,8. 

(I I I) The collection of all prime numbers less than 20, is the set containing the numbers 2357111317 19. 

(I V) We denote the sets of all natural numbers, all integers, all rational numbers and all real numbers by N, Z, Q and R respectively.

(V) The collection of all beautiful girls of India is not a set, since the term beautiful' is vague and it is not well defined. Similarly, 'rich persons', 'honest persons', 'good players', 'old people', 'young men', etc., do not form sets.

Diagonal Relationship between Beryllium and Aluminium || Relation between Beryllium and Aluminium

-
  Diagonal Relationship between Beryllium and Aluminium The ionic radius of Beryllium (Be 2+) is estimated to be nearly 31 pm; the charge/radius ratio Or e/m ratio is nearly the same as that of the Al 3+ ion. Hence beryllium resembles aluminium in these ways. Some of the similarities are given below: » Like Aluminium, Beryllium(be) is not readily attacked by acids H+ donor because of the formation of an oxide film on the surface of the metal by reacting with oxygen, i.e. they are rendered passive by nitric acid. » Beryllium hydroxide[[Be(OH)4]2] dissolves in excess of alkali to give a beryllate ion, [ Be(OH)4]2– just as aluminium hydroxide[Al(OH)3] gives aluminate ion, [Al(OH)4] » The chlorides of metals beryllium and aluminium have Cl– bridged chloride structure in vapour phase. Both the chlorides are soluble in organic solvents and are strong as Lewis acids They are used as Friedel Craft catalysts. » Beryllium(Be) and aluminium(Al) ions have strong tendency to form complexes, (BeF4)2

QUANTUM NUMBERS (Principal, Azimuthal, Magnetic and Spin)

                  QUANTUM NUMBERS  Orbitals represent regions in the space around the nucleus where the probability of finding the electron is maximum. A large number of electron orbitals are possible in atom. These can be distinguished by their size, shape and orientation of the orbitals. To describe each electron in an atom in different orbitals, we need a set of three numbers known as quantum numbers. These are designated as n, l and m. In addition to these three numbers another quantum number is also needed which specifies the spin of the electron. These four numbers are called quantum numbers. These are discussed below: 1. Principal quantum number (n) :  This quantum number determines the main energy shell or level in which the electron is present. It is denoted by n. It can have whole number values starting from 1 such as n = 1, 2, 3, 4 ... This quantum number also identifies as shell. The shell with n 1 is called the first shell. The shell with n 2 is called the second shell and

                    INTRODUCTION : The s- block elements of the periodic table are those in which the last electron enters  into the outermost s-orbital. As the s-orbital can accommodate only two electrons, in two group (1 & 2) belong to the s-block of the periodic table. Group 1 of the periodic table consists of the elements : lithium (L i), sodium (Na), potassium (K), rubidium (R b), caesium (C s) and francium (F r). They are collectively known as alkali metals. These are called because they forms hydroxides on reaction with water which are strongly alkaline in nature. The elements of Group 2nd include beryllium (Be), magnesium (Mg), calcium (C a), strontium (S r), barium (B a) and radium (Ra). These elements with the exception of Beryllium are commonly known as the alkaline earth metals. These are so called because their oxide and hydroxide are alkaline in nature and these metal oxides are found in the earth’s crust . The general electronic configuration of s- block element is
