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.

Where are people mostly exposed to chemicals?

Vlad [161]

Answer:

people are mostly exposed to chemicals through their nose, mouth, eyes, and ears

Explanation:

they are the easiest way for anything, bad or good, to enter the body because people touch their face alot.

This might not answer what you were looking for but the other answer covered it pretty well so I thought I'd give you another angle to the question!

Hope this helps!!

Which of these statements is correct? a. Particles in a suspension will settle out if left undisturbed. b. A solution is heterog

Blood. It is discrete cells in saline solutuion. The cells are free to move thru the plasma, or you wouldn't have blood flow, or oxygenation, and you would die. Blood is defined as liquid, not jello.

The other three are things not normally associated--water will fall from the sky as rain, for example, but is held in suspension in fog. Same with the salad oil in mayo. O.J. can be a suspension; easily separated by a filter, Or a colloid--depends if the pulp, if Any, is held in suspension or not. Usually, pulp will settle to the bottom, making that sample of Orange juice a suspension. At different temperatures, it acts differently. But, so does Fog. A colloid is something that normally shouldn't be as some of its molecules are too dense to normally "float" in suspension. Colloid means "glue".
