Answer:

The answer is chlorine (Cl)

Explanation:

Ionization energy is the minimum amount of energy required to remove a valence electron from an atom in its gaseous state. The closer the valence electron (negatively charged) is to the nucleus (positively charged), the higher the ionization energy required to remove it, hence ionization energy generally decreases down the group.

Between the two, chlorine comes first in the group before iodine and hence has a higher ionization energy (as explained earlier) than Iodine

A sample of oxygen is collected over water at a total pressure of 692.2 mmHg at 17°C. The vapor pressure of water at 17°C is 14.

Answer:

677.7 mmHg

Explanation:

The first empirical study on the behaviour of a mixture of gases was carried out by John Dalton. He established the effects of mixing gases at different pressures in the same vessel.

Dalton's law states that,the total pressure exerted by a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases present in the mixture of gases. When a gas is collected over water, the gas also contains some water vapour. The partial pressure of the gas will now be given as; total pressure of gas mixture - saturated vapour pressure of water (SVP) at that temperature.

Given that;

Total pressure of gas mixture = 692.2 mmHg

SVP of water at 17°C = 14.5 mmHg

Therefore, partial pressure of oxygen = 692.2-14.5

Partial pressure of oxygen = 677.7 mmHg

This element has 3 electrons in its Lewis dot structure and is in the 3p orbital section.

Lynna [10]

The answer is Al. If it is a main group element with 3 electrons in its Lewis dot structure, it must be in group 3A. If it is in the 3p orbital section, then it must be in period 3, since the p orbital is a valence orbital and the number that preceeds it is the principal quantum number. Therefore, your answer is the element in period 3 and group 3A, which is aluminum.
