The answer is (2). If you recall Rutherford's gold foil experiment, remember that a stream of positively charged alpha particles were shot at a gold foil in the center of a detector ring. The important observation was that although most of the particles passed straight through the foil without being deflected, a tiny fraction of the alpha particles were deflected off the axis of the shot, and some were even deflected almost back to the point from which they were shot. The fact that some of the alpha particles were deflected indicated a positive charge (because same charges repel), and the fact that only a small fraction of the particles were deflected indicated that the positive charge was concentrated in a small area, probably residing at the center of the atom.

What is the predicted order of first ionization energies from highest to lowest for lithium (Li), sodium (Na), potassium (K), an
frutty [35]
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.

The elements in Groups 1 AU) and 7A(17) are all quite reactive. What is a major difference between them?
Yuliya22 [10]

Explanation:

Elements of group 1A are known as alkali metals. Elements of this group are lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, and francium.

All these elements are metals and every element of this group has 1 valence electron. So, in order to attain stability they will readily lose their valence electron.

Hence, elements of group 1A are very reactive.

On the other hand, elements of group 7A are also known as halogen group. Elements of this group are fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine.

All these elements are non-metals and every element of this group has 7 valence electrons. So, in order to completely fill their octet these elements gain 1 electron from a donor atom.

Therefore, these elements are alo reactive in nature.

But the major difference between elements of group 1A and group 7A is that elements of group 1A are metals but elements of group 7A are non-metals.
