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 of the following diatomic molecules is joined by a triple covalent bond?
aivan3 [116]

The correct answer is C. In the periodic table nitrogen has 5 valence electrons and needs 3 more electrons to obtain an octet. So it would form three covalent bonds with another nitrogen and that would be a triple bond.

A is incorrect because oxygen is in group 6 and only needs 2 electrons to achieve an octet. So it would form two covalent bonds with the other oxygen to give a double bond.

B is incorrect because Cl is in group 7 and only needs 1 electron to achieve an octet. So it forms a single bond with the other Cl atom.

D is incorrect because helium is in Group 8, a noble gas, which means its valence shell is completely filled, hence no bonding can occur.

Hey can someone please help me with this
vivado [14]

Answer:

This is not a redox reaction.

Explanation:

A redox reaction is a reaction that involves reduction and oxidation processes. The best way to identify a redox reaction. Changes in the oxidation number f the species indicates that it is a redox reaction.

Na+

Reactant side = +1, Product Side = +1; No change

Cl-

Reactant side = -1, Product Side = -1; No change

Ag+

Reactant side = +1, Product Side = +1; No change

N

Reactant side = +5, Product Side = +5; No change

O

Reactant side = -2, Product Side = -2; No change

There is no change in any of the oxidation numbers, Hence this is not a redox reaction.

nalin [4]
<span>Answer: Glass has a much higher specific heat than styrofoam so more of the energy produced will go into heating the glass. This quantity of heat will be lost (unaccounted for) hence the delta t in the calculation will be too small and the heat of neutralization will be lower.</span>

1) Find the mass of 2.7 moles of NaCl.
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

157. 788 grams

Explanation:

number of moles = mass/molar mass.

hence the mass = molar mass × number of moles

m = 58.44 × 2.7 = 157.788 grams
