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.

Describe a plants circulatory system brainly?

miv72 [106K]

A plant's circulatory system is the way for a plant to get carbon dioxide and nutrients to every cell in its system. It is also the way for a plant to get rid of toxins and waste from its system. In a plant's circulatory system, the nutrients a plant needs to survive travels upwards from the roots of the plan to the rest of it's system, and the toxins and waste is secreted from its extremeties located above the ground.

What volume of 24% trichloroacetic acid (tca) is needed to prepare eight 3 ounce bottles of 10% tca solution?

Sever21 [200]

Answer:

295.7 mL of 24% trichloroacetic acid (tca) is needed .

Explanation:

Let the volume of 24% trichloroacetic acid solution be x

Volume of required 10% trichloroacetic acid solution =8 bottles of 3 ounces

= 24 ounces = 709.68 mL

(1 ounces = 29.57 mL)

Amount of trichloroacetic acid in 24% solution of x volume of solution will be equal to amount of trichloroacetic acid in 10% solution of volume 709.68 mL.

$x\times \frac{24}{100}=709.68 mL\times \frac{10}{100}$
