Neon, Ne, would have the highest ionization energy because it has a high effective nuclear charge and small radius.

Answer:

D. Neon (Ne), because it has a high effective nuclear charge and small radius

Explanation:

Ionization energy is the amount of energy required to remove an electron from the valence orbital.

Chlorine (Cl) and fluorine (F) are halogens which have a general valence configuration of ns²np⁵ and are highly electronegative

Lithium (Li) is an alkali metal with a valence configuration of ns¹ and has a tendency to lose electrons readily

Neon (Ne) is a noble gas with a valence configuration of ns²np⁶. Here the outer shells have a complete octet and stable configuration which makes it difficult to remove electrons. In addition the high nuclear charge and small radius of Ne results in a strong force of attraction between the nucleus and the valence electrons. Therefore, Ne would have the highest ionization energy value.

How do the physical and chemical properties the halogens compare with those of the noble gases? ​
KonstantinChe [14]

Explanation:

To form bonds with noble gases, a lot of energy is required to form those bonds. Halogens, on the other hand, are extremely reactive. ... The halogens tend to be very reactive, while the noble gases are in no way reactive and don't bond easily, if at all.

Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

XY4Z2 ----- square planar

XY5Z ------- square pyramidal

XY2Z----- bent < 120°

XY2Z3 ----- Linear

XY4Z ---- see saw

XY2Z2 ----- bent <109°

XY3Z2 ----- T shaped

XY3Z ----- Trigonal pyramidal

Explanation:

The valence shell electron pair repulsion theory ( VSEPR) gives the description of molecular geometry based on the relative number of electron pairs present in the molecule.

However, electron pairs repel each other, the repulsion between two lone pairs is greater than the repulsion between a lone pair and a bond pair which is also greater than the repulsion between two lone pairs.

The presence of lone pairs distort the bond angle and molecular geometry from the expected geometry based on VSEPR theory. Hence, in the presence of lone pairs of electron, the observed molecular geometry may be different from that predicted on the basis of the VSEPR theory, the bond angles also differ slightly or widely depending on the number of lone pairs present.

All the molecules in the question possess lone pairs, the number of electron pairs do not correspond to the observed molecular shape or geometry due to lone pair repulsion. Usually, the molecular geometry deals more with the arrangement of bonded atoms in the molecule.

How many grams of sodium chloride are present in a 0.75 M solution woth volume of 500.0 milliliters?
Aneli [31]
V = 500ml = 0,5 l
c = 0,75 M

c = n/V
n = c × V
n = 0,75 × 0,5 = 0,375[mol]

M NaCl = 58,5 g/mol

1 mol ------- 58,5 g
0,375 mol ----- x g

x = 0,375 mol × 58,5 g / 1 mol = 21,94 g

Answer: In this solution there are 21,94 g of sodium chloride.

:-) ;-)
