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 element in period 3 with the most metallic character is A sodium
Gekata [30.6K]
A. Sodium is correct.

Sodium is an alkali metal.
Aluminum is a post-transitional metal- still a metal but it’s character is not as metallic as sodium.
Silicon is a metalloid- it has characteristics from both the metals and the non-metals.
Phosphorous is a non-metal.

Describe the charges of the particles in the atom and how charge is distributed within an atom.
trapecia [35]
There are MANY subatomic particles in an atom.
But the three most important ones are
The electron which has a negative charge.
The proton having a positive charge.
And the neutron which is neutral or which has no charge at all.
The protons and neutrons club together and form the inner, heavy part of the atom which is positively charges because of the protons known as the nucleus.
And electrons remain farther away in all reality and revolve around the inner positive nucleus.
Trying its best to make the whole atom neutral!

Which molecule or reaction supplies the energy for polymerization of nucleotides in the process of transcription?
Sindrei [870]

Answer to this is "the phosphate bonds that are present in the nucleotide triphosphate serves as the substrates" in the process of transcription.

Transcription is the process in which DNA is transformed into RNA with the help of an enzyme known as RNA-polymerase. RNA and DNA are the nucleic acids which are formed by linking the nucleotides together.
