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.

How many grams are in a sample of 0.55 mol of K?
Katyanochek1 [597]
The equation you use here is
mass =moles x Mr

So:
Moles of K - 0.55mol
Mr of K - 39.1

Mass= 0.55x39.1 =21.505g

1. A student tried to solve the following problem by selecting the tile as shown. What, if anything, did the student do wrong?
slega [8]

Answer:

B. The student chose the correct tile, but needs to flip the tile to make the units cancel

Explanation:

Based on the reaction:

2AgNO₃(aq) + Cu(s) → 2Ag(s) + Cu(NO₃)₂ (aq)

<em>2 moles of AgNO₃ react per mole of Cu producing 2 moles of Ag and 1 mole of Cu(NO₃)₂</em>

Thus, if you want to produce 6.75moles of Cu(NO₃)₂ you need:

6.75moles of Cu(NO_3)_2  \frac{2 mol AgNO_3 }{1 mol Cu(NO_3)_2} = 13.50 moles of AgNO₃ are needed

Thus, if you analize the tile shown by the student:

<em>B. The student chose the correct tile, but needs to flip the tile to make the units cancel</em>

Does mercury have more protons and electrons than tin?
Eva8 [605]
Yes. Mercury has 80 protons. Tin has 50 protons. Same for electrons, it just doesn't have an exact number.
