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

Chemistry

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.

What types of radiation cause the parent isotope to change into a different element?
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

Beta decay is most common in elements with a high neutron to proton ratio. Gamma decay follows the form: In gamma emission, neither the atomic number or the mass number is changed. A high energy gamma ray is given off when the parent isotope falls into a lower energy state.

Yes, because it comes from a one thing and spreads throughout the entire space. Similar to dripping foot coloring into a glass of water, or spraying air freshener.

how many grams of potassium chloride, KCL(molar mass is 74.55g/mol) are produced if 25 grams of potassium chlorate KClo^3 decomp
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

                     Mass = 15.20 g of KCl

Explanation:

                    The balance chemical equation for the decomposition of KClO₃ is as follow;

                                            2 KClO₃ = 2 KCl + 3 O₂

Step 1: Calculate moles of KClO₃ as;

Moles = Mass / M/Mass

Moles = 25.0 g / 122.55 g/mol

Moles = 0.204 moles

Step 2: Find moles of KCl as;

According to equation,

                  2 moles of KClO₃ produces  =  2 moles of KCl

So,

               0.204 moles of KClO₃ will produce  =  X moles of KCl

Solving for X,

                       X = 2 mol × 0.204 mol / 2 mol

                       X = 0.204 mol of KCl

Step 3: Calculate mass of KCl as,

Mass = Moles × M.Mass

Mass = 0.204 mol × 74.55 g/mol

Mass = 15.20 g of KCl

Anton [14]

Answer:

Weight is the measure of the force of gravity on an object. The mass of an object will never change, but the weight of an item can change based on its location. For example, you may weigh 100 pounds on Earth, but in outer space you would be weightless.

Explanation:

I can't see the options but I hope this helps!
