What trend does the first ionization energy follow, going down the periodic

Answer:

C. The first ionization energy decreases because the outermost

electron is farther from the nucleus.

Explanation:

Ionization energy trend along group:

As we move down the group atomic radii increased with increase of atomic number. The addition of electron in next level cause the atomic radii to increased. The hold of nucleus on valance shell become weaker because of shielding of electrons thus size of atom increased.

As the size of atom increases the ionization energy from top to bottom also  decreases because it becomes easier to remove the electron because of less nuclear attraction and as more electrons are added the outer electrons becomes more shielded and away from nucleus.

Ionization energy trend along period:

As we move from left to right across the periodic table the number of valance electrons in an atom increase. The atomic size tend to decrease in same period of periodic table because the electrons are added with in the same shell. When the electron are added, at the same time protons are also added in the nucleus. The positive charge is going to increase and this charge is greater in effect than the charge of electrons. This effect lead to the greater nuclear attraction. The electrons are pull towards the nucleus and valance shell get closer to the nucleus. As a result of this greater nuclear attraction atomic radius decreases and ionization energy increases because it is very difficult to remove the electron from atom and more energy is required.

The nucleus of 8Be, which consists of four protons and four neutrons, is very unstable and spontaneously breaks into two alpha p
Mariana [72]

Answer: The given statement is false.

Explanation:

When there is more difference in the ratio or number of protons and neutrons then nucleus of the atom becomes unstable in nature. This unstability is caused due to greater repulsion between the like charges of sub-atomic particles.

As a result, this force of repulsion becomes greater than the binding energy. And, this force is known as the weak force because it is unable to bind the neutrons and protons together.

The proton and neutron ratio for smaller elements is 1:1 and for higher elements it has to be 1:5. Since, ^{8}Be is a smaller element with 4 protons and 4 neutrons. Hence, the proton and neutron ratio is 1:1.

Therefore, ^{8}Be is stable in nature.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement nucleus of 8Be, which consists of four protons and four neutrons, is very unstable and spontaneously breaks into two alpha particles (helium nuclei, each consisting of two protons and two neutrons), is false.

A chemistry teacher needs to determine what quantity of sodium hydroxide to order
I am Lyosha [343]
To know the exact amount of sodium hydroxide that the teacher needs to order, we need to know how many students are there and the amount that each student uses.
We will then multiply these two values and get the amount needed to be ordered.

Since you have not provided such data in your question, I will just assume them to show the steps of the solution. You can then apply these steps to the values you have.

Now, assume that a class of 60 students and that each student needs to use 130 grams of sodium hydroxide to use during the lab.
This means that the teacher will order:
130 x 60 = 7800 grams = 7.8 kg of sodium hydroxide

How do you prepare diluted acid from concentrated acid?
lidiya [134]
A dilute acid solution is prepared by adding the concentrated acid to water. If you do the reverse, i.e. add water to the acid it is possible that a small amount water could react with acid and boil and explode thus splashing the acid onto you or someone else near the activity.

Which of the following describes a response to external stimuli?
Pavlova-9 [17]
The correct answer is A.

Hunger, chemical imbalance, and blood levels are all internal issues. Cat dander on the other hand is not something the body creates or and is something in the environment.  
Thus, your answer is A.
