Which has a higher ionization energy: chlorine (Cl) or magnesium (Mg)? Why? Select the best answer

Chemistry
1 answer:
algol [13]1 year ago
3 0

Removal of the loosely bounded electron is defined by the ionization energy. Chlorine needs less energy to add electrons and has higher ionization power. Thus, option A is correct.

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

The ability of an electron to accept or give electrons to another element in a chemical reaction by forming and creating bonds and the positive and negative charges has been defined by the ionization energy.

Magnesium has lower ionization energy than chlorine due to its large size and smaller nuclear charge. On the other hand, chlorine can easily add electrons to the valence shell which is almost full.

Therefore, option A. chlorine has higher ionization energy and can add electrons with minimum energy.

Which statement is NOT true of molecular orbitals: Select one
trapecia [35]

Answer:

A: Antibonding molecular orbitals are higher in energy than all of the bonding molecular orbitals.

Explanation:

Molecular  orbital theory describes <u>covalent bonds in terms of molecular orbitals</u>, which  result from interaction of the atomic orbitals of the bonding atoms and are associated  with the entire molecule.

A bonding molecular orbital has lower  energy and greater stability than the atomic orbitals from which it was formed. An  antibonding molecular orbital has higher energy and lower stability than the  atomic orbitals from which it was formed.

Electrons in the antibonding molecular orbital have  higher energy (and less stability) than they would have in the isolated atoms. On the  other hand, electrons in the bonding molecular orbital have less energy (and hence  greater stability) than they would have in the isolated atoms.

1. How is different kind of molecules different? And similar?
dexar [7]

Answer:

1.Molecules are made of atoms. So different molecules can have different (or same) number of atoms they are made of.Different atoms are made of different number of protons of neutrons in the nucleus (also electrons around the nucleus but they are very small even compared to atom and don’t add up for volume or mass) therefore their radius and mass are different.

2.Chromatography works because of differences in the properties of molecules in materials.some molecules differ in shape and size. These differences in molecular properties allow scientists to separate compounds into individual molecules using chromatography.

Explanation:

hope this helps
