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.

Where is the magnetic field of a bar magnet the strongest?
Alla [95]
The correct answer is A. The magnetic field is strongest at the north pole and the south pole of a bar magnet. At the poles, the magnetic field is equally strong while the force is weaker at the middle of the bar. The field lines are closely packed at each pole and it gets wider as the lines get further from the pole.

How much pv work is done in kilojoules for the reaction of 0.68 mol of h2 with 0.34 mol of o2 at atmospheric pressure if the vol
dsp73
The delta H of -484 kJ is the heat given off when 2 moles of H2 react with 1 mole of O2 to make 2 moles of H2O. You don't have anywhere near that much reactants, only 1/4 as much

<span>actual delta H = 0.34  moles H2 x (-484 kJ / 2 moles H2) = 823 kJ </span>

<span>delta E = delta H - PdeltaV = 823 kJ - 0.41 kJ = 822 kJ</span>

Neutral atoms have the same number of protons as electrons. what would make the electrically charged magnesium ion, mg2+, neutra
Allushta [10]
Mg2+ is the positive ion of the neutral atom Mg. This means that the neutral atom Mg lost the two excess electrons in its outermost energy level and became a positive ion with the two excess positive charges. To become neutral again, the Mg2+ ion has to regain two electrons again to balance the negative charge with the excess two positive charges.

Both equation I and II are balanced, but equation II is the correct way to write the balanced equation. Why do you think this is
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

Because you have to give the simplest ratio of equation. Equation I can be simplified by dividing all the coefficients by 2 to make it into equation II.

*Every equation has to be in the simplest form of coefficients.

Ratio of Equation I :

2 : 4 : 2 : 4

Ratio of Equation II :

1 : 2 : 1 : 2

1000 cm3 of hydrogen gas (hydrogen molecules, H2) contains x number of molecules at room temperature and pressure. Determine the
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer: Number of atoms in 500cm^3 of radon gas (radon atoms) at the same temperature and pressure is \frac{x}{2}

Explanation:

According to avogadro's law, volume of a gas is directly proportional to the number of moles present when temperature and pressure is constant.:

\frac{V_1}{n_1}=\frac{V_2}{n_2}

V_1 = Volume of the hydrogen gas = 1000cm^3

n_1 =  moles of hydrogen gas = \frac{xmolecules}{6.023\times 10^{23}molecules}

V_2=  Volume of the radon gas =500cm^3

n_1 =  moles of radon gas = ?

\frac{1000}{\frac{x}{6.023\times 10^{23}}}=\frac{500}{\frac{y}{6.023\times 10^{23}}}

y=\frac{x}{2}

Thus the number of atoms in 500cm^3 of radon gas (radon atoms) at the same temperature and pressure is \frac{x}{2}
