The first ionization energy is the energy that the atom lost its first electrons. The energy decrease and the atom is more reactive. So from highest to lowest is Li>Na>K>Rb.

Answer;

From highest to lowest is Li>Na>K>Rb.

Explanation;

- Ionization energy is the energy that is required to dislodge or remove an electron from the outer most energy level or energy shell. The first ionization energy is the energy required to remove the first electrons from the outermost energy shell.

- Lithium will have the highest first ionization energy, as the outer electron is closer to the pull of the nucleus and not shielded by full shells. This means that rubidium will be the lowest.

For ethanol, propanol, and n-butanol the boiling points, surface tensions, and viscosities all increase. what is the reason for
Contact [7]
Moving from Ethanol through Propanol to Butanol the physical properties like boiling points, surface tension and viscosity increases because of the increases in intermolecular interactions between the molecules of given compounds.

Explanation:
                   Ethanol, propanol and butanol all have hydroxyl groups in common, means all have hydrogen bond intractions between their molecules. So, taking the hydrogen bonding interaction constant we are left with only the difference in the number of carbon atoms.
                    Butanol has the greatest physical properties than other two because it has four carbon atom chain. So, as we know the London Dispersion forces or Van der Waal forces increases with increase in molecular size and chain length of hydrocarbon.
                    Therefore, the strength of London forces is greater in butanol than other two while ethanol has the smallest chain comparatively hence, lowest physical properties.

Which of the following substances heats the fastest?
Aneli [31]

Answer:

Zinc

Explanation:

The specific heat capacity can be described as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a substance by one degrees Celsius. It is represented by C or S. The greater the carrying capacity of a substance, the more will be the heat required for that substance.

As we can see in the information given in the question, the specific heat capacity of zinc is the lowest as compared to steel, water and aluminium. Hence, zinc is the correct option.
