The electron configuration that belongs to the atom with the lowest first ionization energy is francium.

<h3>What is ionization energy? </h3>

Ionization energy is defined as the minimum amount of energy required to remove the most loosely electron present in outermost shell.

<h3>Ionization energy across period</h3>

Ionization energy increase as we move from left to right in the period. This can be explained as when we move from left to right along period new electron is added to the same shell which increase the nuclear charge. Hence results int he decrease in size. Due to this decrease in size more energy is required to remove electron from outermost shell.

<h3>Ionization energy along group</h3>

Ionization energy decrease as we move from top to bottom along group. This can be explained as we move from top to bottom new electron is added to new shell. Due to addition of new shell the size of atom increases which results in the decrease in the nuclear charge. Due to this less amount of energy is needed to remove an electron.

Thus, we concluded that the electron configuration that belongs to the atom with the lowest first ionization energy is francium.

The unit meter per second per second (m/s²) would be used to measure

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

$\boxed{\text{A) Acceleration}}$

Explanation:

m/s is the unit for speed, so (m/s)/s is the rate of change of speed.

The rate of change of speed is acceleration.

B), C), and D) are wrong. They all have the units of m/s.

Using the bond energy data from your text (or the internet), determine (show calculations for) the approximate enthalpy change ,

aleksley [76]

Answer:

∆H= <u>438 KJ/mol</u>

Explanation:

First, we have to find the <u>energy bond values</u> for each compound:

-) Cl-Cl = 243 KJ/mol

-) F-F = 159 KJ/mol

-) F-Cl = 193 KJ/mol

If we check the reaction we can calculate the <u>number of bonds</u>:

$Cl_2_(_g_)~+~3F_2_(_g_)~->~2ClF_3_(_g_)$

In total we will have:

-) Cl-Cl = 1

-) F-F = 3

-) F-Cl = 6

With this in mind. we can calculate the <u>total energy for each bond</u>:

-) Cl-Cl = (1*243 KJ/mol) = 243 KJ/mol

-) F-F = (3*159 KJ/mol) = 477 KJ/mol

-) F-Cl = (6*193 KJ/mol) = 1158 KJ/mol

Now, we can calculate the total energy of the <u>products</u> and the <u>reagents</u>:

Reagents = 243 KJ/mol + 477 KJ/mol = 720 KJ/mol

Products = 1158 KJ/mol

Finally, to calculate the total enthalpy change we have to do a <u>subtraction</u> between products and reagents:

∆H= 1158 KJ/mol-720 KJ/mol = <u>438 KJ/mol</u>
