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acting as a shield or screen for the nucleus make the attraction between them weaker and make it easier for them to be withdrawn.

kaheart [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

All the colligatives properties are modified by the Van't Hoff factor. This is shown as i, in the formula of the colligative properties freezing point depression, boiling point elevation, and osmotic pressure.

The Van't Hoff factor shows the number of particles into which the solute dissociates. In organic compounds we use 1, in inorganic compounds we have to think the dissociation. For example in aquous solutions, inorganic salts as AgNO₃ and CaCl₂ dissociate like this:

AgNO₃ →  Ag⁺  + NO₃⁻

CaCl₂  → Ca²⁺  +  2Cl⁻

AgNO₃ has 2 moles of ions and CaCl₂ has 3 moles.

In urea: i = 1

In  silver nitrate: i = 2

In calcium chloride: i = 3

The i = 3 for  calcium chloride, makes that this salt has the highest osmotic pressure, highest vapor pressure and highest boiling point.
