Chemistry

Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Transition metals are the elements which have their valence electrons present in d or f-sub shell. These are also known as d-block elements.

Transition elements represent variable oxidation states that is why their behavior is not highly predictable.

Whereas elements of alkali earth metal, noble gases, and non-metal groups show similar oxidation states. Therefore, their behavior is predictable.

Consider the following statements about first ionization energies:
stepladder [879]

Answer:

I,II, III

Explanation:

Firstly, the magnitude of nuclear charge affects the first ionization energy of an element. Hence,as effective nuclear charge increases, the attraction between the nucleus and the outermost electron increases and ionization energy consequently increases. Thus Mg has a higher first ionization energy than Be.

Secondly, oxygen has an electron configuration of 1s2 2s2 2p4 while nitrogen has an electron configuration of 1s2 2s2 2p3. Now, recall that extra energy is often associated with half filled orbitals hence nitrogen has a higher first ionization energy than oxygen. Furthermore, the addition of electron to an already half filled 2p orbital in oxygen (pairing) leads to inter electronic repulsion and drastic fall in first ionization energy. Therefore, as we move from nitrogen to oxygen in the periodic table, greater inter-electron repulsion between two electrons in the same p-orbital counter balances the increase in effective nuclear charge hence nitrogen has a greater first ionization energy than oxygen.

Lastly, the 3p orbital is far away from the nucleus hence we expect it to feel less of nuclear attraction than a 2p orbital. Hence the first ionization energy of Ar is less than that of Ne.

Tropic levels definition
almond37 [142]

Answer:

The tropic level of an organism is the position it occupies in a food web. A food chain is a succession of organisms that eat other organisms and may, in turn, be eaten themselves. The tropic level of an organism is the number of steps it is from the start of the chain.
