A. CI, Br

Explanation:

Different kinds of atoms bind their valence electrons with various amounts of energy. In order to remove the valence electrons, enough energy must be available.

The amount of energy required for the removal of an electron is the ionization energy or ionization potential.

The ionization energy depends on:

Nuclear charge
Atomic radius
Sublevel accomodating the electron to be removed.
Special stability of half or fully filled sublevels.

Across a period, the ionization energy increases.

Down a group ionization energy decreases due to increasing atomic radii.

Cl and Br are in the same periodic group. Cl is element number 2 and Br is element 3 in the group of the halogens.

Therefore, Cl will have a higher ionization energy compared to Br.

A sample of seawater has 0.075 g of sodium chloride per mL of solution. How many moles of sodium chloride are there per liter of

amm1812

Answer:

1.28 mol

Explanation:

mole = mass/molar mass

n = v/v/cm³

mass = 0. 075g

v = 1dm³ =1000cm³

n= m/MV=0.075/58.44(1000)

n =1.28 mol

Naturally occurring neon exists as three isotopes. 90.51% is ne-20 with a mass of 19.99 amu, 0.27% is ne-21 with a mass of 20.99

gregori [183]

The atomic mass of an element is the average relative mass of its atoms as compared with an atom of carbon-12 whose mass is taken as 12. In terms of percentages of different isotopes, the average atomic mass can be determined as follows: $A_{average}$ = ∑( $p_{i}$ X $A_{i}$ )/100. Where, $p_{i}$ is the percentage abundance of isotope with atomic number $A_{i}$ .
