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.

Contact [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Hello,

At first, they differ because a physical property is observed without changing the nature of the substance. On the other hand, a change in the nature of the substance must be carried out to observe a chemical property.

As examples, density, solubility and odor (physical properties) could be known by just analyzing a substance, nonetheless, pH, reactivity or combustibility must be known by submitting the substance to a specific chemical reaction.

Best regards.

Comparison between alkyl nucleophilic substitution with acyl nucleophilic substitution
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

in both nucleophil attach the c and leaving group leave but in acyl nu. subsituation c of carbonyl because of double bond with o have bigger positive charge and is better electrophil so do it faster,also alkyl nu. subsituation can have rearangment if going from sn1 and in sn2 sterichemistry of molecule change , acyl nu. subsituation most of time is better

Why is a mass movement of mud called a flow?
wariber [46]
In terms of a deeper scientific reason, I am not sure, but the basic reason is quite simple. "Mud" tends to look like a mix between a solid, dirt, and a liquid, water or some other liquid. Since it is, in fact, a cross between a solid and a liquid, it has properties of both. It has certain physical and visual properties that only a solid would have, such as texture and opaqueness, but it also has physical properties of a liquid. Since it leans more towards the liquid side than the solid side, we say mud "flows" rather than saying that it "rolls" or "bounces".
