Elements are made up of particles.
Answer:
a)decrease
b)increase
c)smaller
d)smaller
Explanation:
Ionization energy decreases down the group due to increase in the atomic radius. The distance between the outermost electron and the nucleus increases hence the nuclear attraction for the outermost electrons become smaller and the ionization energy also become smaller as electrons are now easily removed from the outermost shell.
Hence the group of answer choices provided above.
A reaction in which two ions switch places is called double-displacement reaction.
Explanation:
Double displacement reaction usually takes place between two positive ions or two negative ions. When anions or cations of totally different compounds change places, two totally different compounds are formed.
<u>Syntax for double displacement reaction:
</u>
AB + CD --> AD + BC
It can also be defined in simple terms as the reaction in which exchange of ions takes place is called double displacement reaction.
The chemical reaction is as follows:
NaOH(aq) + HCl(aq) --> NaCl(aq) + H2O (l)
<span>Water molecules form a complex with metal ions (usually a 6-coordinate complex). And the high charge density on a metal ion draws electrons away from the water molecules, making the O-H bonds more polar than normal. This allows the dissociation of the protons, making solutions of most metal ions acidic</span>
