A) It decreases because the distance between the nucleus and outermost shell increases

Alenkinab [10]3 years ago
4 0

Answer: It increases because the outermost electrons are attracted more strongly by protons.

Explanation:

Ionization energy is the energy required to remove the most loosely bound electron from a gaseous atom. Metals have low ionization energy as they tend to attain stable configuration by losing the valence electrons.

The size of an atom decreases as we move across the period because the electrons get added to the same shell and the nuclear charge keeps on increasing. Thus the electrons get more tightly held by the nucleus.

As, the size of an element decreases, the valence electrons come near to the nucleus. So, the attraction between the nucleus and the shared pair of electrons increases and thus ionization energy increases.

Hence, the correct statement is It increases because the outermost electrons are attracted more strongly by protons.

Why can scientist assume elastic collisions as long as the temperature remains constant?
Tema [17]

Answer:

Because in elastic collisions there is no heat emission or absorption.

Explanation:

A collision is considered elastic when the total kinetic energy of the study system is conserved during the collision. Since the total kinetic energy is conserved, heat is not emitted or absorbed during the collision. Since the emission or absorption of heat is what produces changes in temperature, If the system remains at a constant temperature, there were only elastic collisions.
