The sum of IE₁ through IE₄ for Group 4A(14) elements shows a decrease from C to Si, a slight increase from Si to Ge, a decrease

from Ge to Sn, and an increase from Sn to Pb.(a) What is the expected trend for IEs down a group?

The correct answer is IE decreases down the group.

On moving down the group, the size of the element increases due to the increase in the number of shells. The element with smallest size has less the attraction of the nucleus on the valance electron. It needs more energy to remove an electron from its valance shell. Hence, the IE decreases down the group.

Why does ionization energy increase down the group but decreases going across a period?

Because there are more protons with time, the ionization energy rises. As a result, there will be more attraction because the nuclear charge has increased.

Even if there is stronger attraction, one should be aware that the shielding effect and distance from the nucleus remain largely constant. The same primary quantum shell contains all of the valence electrons, which explains this.

Therefore, while distance from the nucleus and the shielding effect stay fairly constant, an increase in nuclear charge causes an increase in attraction and increases the energy required to remove an electron.

The ionization energy drops with each group. This is because the outside electrons acting as a shield or screen for the nucleus make the attraction between them weaker and make it easier for them to be withdrawn.

explain why samples of gold and copper can have the same extensive properties, but not the same intensive properties
vivado [14]
Extensive properties, as volume and mass, depend on the amount of material. So, you can have a sample of gold and a sample of copper with the same volume as long as you have different amount of each one.

On the other hand, intensive properties do not depend on the amound of material but on the chemical constitution of the material. Density is an intensive property, so gold and copper have different densities. That is why you can use intensive properties to characterize different materials.

Lucille is finding it difficult to play soccer after school. Her doctor thinks that her cells might not be getting enough oxygen
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

They might not be bringing in enough oxygen from the air. It's hard to play soccer if you don't have enough oxygen in your cells. They might not be breaking down starch to make glucose.

Carbon is not combustible because when it combines with oxygen its energy increases thus it doesnt combust.
