58. Explain why each successive ionization of an electron

Chemistry
1 answer:

Answer:

It's because removal of electron from an atom, reduces the size of an atom.

Explanation:

When an electron is removed from an atom, it becomes an ion and in this case it will become a postive ion.

When an electron is removed from an atom, the charge balance of an atom is disturbed and positive charge increases in comparison to the negative charge. This results in increase nuclear (positive) charge which exerts greater attraction on the remaining electrons and as a result the remaining electrons are more strongly attracted by the nucleus and in this way the atomic size is decreased. Due to this increased nuclear attraction and reduced atomic size, it bcomes difficult to remove more electeon from the positively charged ion of reduced size. This is the reason that each successive ionization of electron requires a greater amount of energy.

The ionization energy has inverse relation with the size or radius of an atom. This also justifies the reason that why each successive ionization of an electron requires greater amount of energy.

two samples of water, 10 grams and 50 grams are in sperate cups which of the following properties is different for the two boili
Trava [24]

Answer:

volume

Explanation:

The volume of the two samples of water will be different because volume is the amount of space occupied by a body. It is dependent on the amount of materials it contains.

  • The 50g sample will have a higher volume compared to the 10g sample.
  • The boiling point and density are intensive properties and do not depend on the amount of matter present.
  • Since both samples are from the same source, they will have the same color.
