Strontium atom loses 2 electrons to become an ion with 2 electrons lesser than its atom. Your answer is C.
Answer:
Cl
Explanation:
The element Cl will have the strongest ionization energy from the given choices. Most non-metals have higher ionization energy compared to metals.
Ionization energy is the energy required to remove the most loosely held electron from the gaseous phase of an atom.
- As you go from left to right on the periodic table, it increases progressive
- From top to bottom, the ionization energy reduces significantly.
- The attractive force between the protons in the nucleus and the electrons plays a very important role.
- In metals, they have very large atomic radius, the attractive force on the outer electrons is very weak.
- This is not the case in non-metals
Answer:
insoluble simply means something that cannot be dissolved in water (:
