Ionization energy increases from left to right because the left wants to lose elctrons and the right wants to gain electron
As you go a group it is easier lose lose because the electrons are farther away from the nucleus and there is less attraction from the positive charges.
It should be 3p3. the p level can hold 6 electrons
Rubidium group 1, 1 valence electrons very reactive
Mg2,2 very reactive
Al 3, 3 reactive
Answer:
The OH group
Explanation:
Benzhydrol contains OH hydroxyl group in its molecule while fluorene does not. At first glance, one would think that OH, which contributes to hydrogen bonding would causes melting point of benzhydrol to be higher than fluorene. <em>However, </em>the structure of benzhydrol, which is 2 benzene rings connected to center hydroxyl carbon (PhCOHPh), allows for each benzene rings in benzhydrol to rotate until both rings are perpendicular to minimize repulsive force. This prevents the molecule from stacking on each other due to its non flat shape, and thus, lowering its melting point in contrast to flat fluorene molecule.
