Answer:

Belongs to the group 2A

Explanation:

As you can see, the first two ionization energies are close and low, meaning that this element ionizates easily.

Not only loses easily the first electron, but the second too

To remove the third electron you requiered a huge amount of energy

Now,<u> elements easily ionizable are the ones from group IA, group 2A and transition metals.</u>

The last ones have mixed characteristics in matter of how many electrons you can remove from them, so they are not a family.

Now the question: group I or group II ?

The elements of group I have <u>low  ionization energies  for the first electron but high energies for the second ones</u>.

Being all that said, the unknown element belongs to the Group 2A

<span>The jump from 1966 to 16347 is the largest one or simply we can say it is hard to lose the 3rd electron.Whereas, it is relatively easy to lose the first two electrons.

So there will be only 2 electrons in the outer most shell.

According to the information mentioned above we can conclude the </span><span>unknown element likely belongs to the second group.
</span><span>I2 = 1752 kj/mol</span>

When a car's velocity is positive and its acceleration is negative, what is happening to the car's motion?
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

Assuming rightward is positive, the velocity is positive whenever the car is moving to the right, and the velocity is negative whenever the car is moving to the left. The acceleration points in the same direction as the velocity if the car is speeding up, and in the opposite direction if the car is slowing down.

Which change increases the electric force between objects?
Brrunno [24]
Well, the force is proportional to the product of the charges
on the two objects.  So if the objects are already negatively
charged distance between them is unchanged, then adding
electrons to either or both objects would increase the forces
between them.

At what temperature (degrees Fahrenheit) is the Fahrenheit scale reading equal to (a) 2 times that of the Celsius and (b) 1/4 ti
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

(a) F = 320

(b) = F = -5.1625

Explanation:

The formula that converts degree Celsius (C) to degree Fahrenheit (F) is:

F = 1.8C + 32

Solving (a): F = 2C

Substitute 2C for F in the above equation

F = 1.8C + 32

2C = 1.8C + 32

Collect like terms

2C - 1.8C = 32

0.2C = 32

Multiply both sides by 5

5 * 0.2C = 32 * 5

C = 160

Recall that F = 2C

F = 2 * 160

F = 320

Solving (b): F = ¼C

Substitute ¼C for F in the above formula

F = 1.8C + 32

¼C = 1.8C + 32

Convert fraction to decimal

0.25C = 1.8C + 32

Collect like terms

0.25C - 1.8C = 32

-1.55C = 32

Divide both sides by -1.55

C = 32/(-1.55)

C = -32/1.55

C = -20.65

Recall that: F = ¼C

F = -¼ * 20.65

F = -5.1625
