Answer:

Option (d) chlorine has a greater ionization energy than sodium

Explanation:

Ionization energy is the energy required to remove an electron from a gaseous atom or ion. Sodium has just 1 electron in it's outmost shell and chlorine has 7.

Sodium needs 7 electrons to complete it's octet configuration and chlorine needs just 1.

Sodium can not attract 7 electrons to complete it's octet configuration instead it will easily lose the 1 electron in it's outmost shell to form cation. On the other hand, it will be difficult for chlorine to lose any of it's outmost electrons. This makes chlorine to have higher ionization energy than sodium.

What will happen if a peeled banana is put on a hotplate? Will it undergo a physical or a chemical change?
FinnZ [79.3K]
I would say physical, because a physical change is affecting the form of a chemical substance, but not it's chemical makeup.

What force attracts any two pieces of matter in the universe?
Darya [45]
Hi,

The answer is gravity.
The bigger the object is the more are other smaller objects attracted to it. The opposite of gravity is dark energy which keeps objects apart and accelerates expansion of the universe.

Hope this helps.

When someone opens a bottle of carbonated drinks, the pressure inside the bottle decreases.
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

When you open the bottle, there is a dramatic decrease in pressure over the liquid, so the CO2 starts to leave the liquid very rapidly, causing the mass exodus of gas, or "explosion" of bubbles. This also explains why soda goes flat.

Why is the mass in amu of a carbon-12 atom reported as 12.011 in the periodic table of the elements?
Bas_tet [7]

The mass of an element listed in the Periodic Table is the weighted average of all its naturally occurring isotopes.

Naturally occurring carbon is about

99 % carbon-12 (12.000 u) + 1 % carbon-13 (13.003 u).

That extra carbon-13 makes the <em>average atomic mass</em>  greater than 12.000 u.
