Between magnesium and calcium, which has the highest ionization energy, and why?

quester [9]

Answer:

magnesium

Explanation:

magnesium has fewer valence shells meaning that the protons have a stronger hold on the electrons and it would take more energy to remove an electron to create an ion.

hichkok12 [17]

Answer:
Arachidonic Acid and PGE₁ are both carboxylic acids with Twenty Carbon atoms. The differences are that Arachidonic acid contains Four cis Double Bonds and no other functional groups, whereas PGE₁ has One Trans Double Bond, Two Hydroxyl and One Ketone Functional Groups.. In addition, a part of the PGE₁ chain forms a Five Membered Ring.

Structures of Both Arachidonic Acid and PGE₁ are shown Below,

Assertion: Atomic mass of aluminium is 27 Reason: An atom of aluminium is 27 times heavier than 1 / 12th of the mass of the C –

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

i is the correct answer.

Explanation:

the RAM of aluminum is indeed 27. And since the RAM of substances are measured in terms of the C-12 isotope then R indeed explains why the RAM Al is 27.

When metallic aluminum is added to a solution containing iron(II) sulfate a reaction occurs. What species is being oxidized in t

REY [17]

Answer: Aluminium is getting oxidized in the given chemical reaction.

Explanation:

Oxidation reaction is defined as the chemical reaction in which an atom looses its electrons. The oxidation number of the atom gets increased during this reaction.

$X\rightarrow X^{n+}+ne^-$

Reduction reaction is defined as the chemical reaction in which an atom gains electrons. The oxidation number of the atom gets reduced during this reaction.

$X^{n+}+ne^-\rightarrow X$

For the given chemical reaction:

$2Al(s)+3FeSO_4(aq.)\rightarrow Al_2(SO_4)_3(aq.)+3Fe(s)$

The half cell reactions for the above reaction follows:

Oxidation half reaction: $Al\rightarrow Al^{3+}+3e^-$

Reduction half reaction: $Fe^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Fe$

As, aluminium is loosing 3 electrons to form aluminium cation. Thus, it is getting oxidized. Iron is gaining 2 electrons to form iron anion. Thus, it is getting reduced.

Hence, the oxidized species of the given reaction is aluminium.
