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

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.

Which of the following statements about the reaction quotient, Q is false? a. The value of Q can be used to predict equilibrium
irakobra [83]

Answer:

The correct statements are :b, c , d, and e.

Explanation:

Equilibrium constant is defined as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants each raised to the power their stoichiometric ratios. It is expressed as K_{eq}

K is the constant of a certain reaction when it is in equilibrium, while Q is the equilibrium quotient of activities of products and reactants at any stage other than equilibrium of a reaction.

  • Q_c, reaction will move in forward direction and concentration of products will increase.
  • Q_c>K_c, reaction will move in backward direction and concentration of reactant will increase.
  • Q_c=K_c reaction is at equilibrium.
