Which elements have atoms that are likely to form an anion?

Chemistry
1 answer:
KengaRu [80]3 years ago

Answer:

Phosphorus, chlorine and selenium.

Explanation:

If you look at a periodic table, you will notice that phosphorus, chlorine and selenium are all in groups 15-17. Elements in these groups are more likely to gain electrons then they are to lose them, thus making them more likely to form an anion.
This is because they want to fill their outer valence shell of electrons so that they can have a full octet and for groups 15-17 it’s easier to gain 1-3 electrons then it is to loose 5-7 electrons.

What are the trends for atomic size and ionization? Explain why for each trend. Tell me the direction- up or down a group and ac
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Atomic size increases down the group due to the addition of more shells.

As more shells are added and repulsion of inner electrons become more significant, atomic size increases down the group. However, across the period, atomic size decreases due to increase in effective nuclear charge without any increase in the number of shells. This causes increased attraction between the nucleus and the outermost shell thereby decreasing the size of the atom.

Ionization energy decreases down the group because the outermost electron is more shielded by inner electrons making it easier for this outermost electron to be lost. Across the period, ionization energy increases due to increase in effective nuclear charge which makes it more difficult to remove the outermost electron due to increased nuclear attraction.
