The second ionization energy is the energy required to remove the <u>second </u>electron after a <u>valence</u> one has been removed.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

For an element, the first ionization energy is defined as the amount of energy required to remove one electron from the outermost valence shell of a neutral atom. Removing one electron increases the number of protons, making it a 1+ ion.

The nucleus (protons) has more bonding to the electrons with negative charge and thus more energy is required if another electron needs to be removed. This higher energy required to remove second electron from a 1+ ion (after the first one has been removed) is termed as the second ionization energy. Second ionization energy leads to formation of a 2+ ion. Similarly, third ionization energy is higher than second ionization energy.

If an astronaut throws an object in space, the object’s speed will _____

BigorU [14]

The object's speed will not change.

In fact, after the astronaut throws the object, no additional forces will act on it (since the object is in free space). According to Newton's second law:
$\sum F=ma$
where the first term is the resultant of the forces acting on the body, m is the mass of the object and a its acceleration, we see that if no forces act on the object, then the acceleration is zero. Therefore, the acceleration of the object is zero, and its velocity remains constant.
