Answer:

Be (899 kj/mol) , Se (940.9 kj/mol), Ne(2081 kj/mol), He (2370 kj/mol),

Explanation:

For noble gases as they have complete octet so they require high amount of energy to remove the electron.

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.

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.

Which of the follow describes what happpens to the kinetic energy of water when it changes from the solid state to a liquid stat
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

Kinetic energy increases.

Explanation:

In a solid, molecules do not have much room to move. They are very slow moving, which means that kinetic energy is low. In a liquid, molecules have more room to move. They are able to move faster than a solid, which means that kinetic energy is low.

From greatest to lowest kinetic energy:

gas, liquid, solid

How can you tell when a solution is formed?
zhuklara [117]
You may tell when a solution os formed when the item or particle, such as sugar or salt,
dissolves completely in the solvent, such as water. 

Basically, you know when a solution is formed when the material you have placed in the solvent disappears :P

Which element above has 8 protons in its nucleus?
Nataliya [291]
A. Oxygen. Oxygen has an atomic mass of 16. The atomic mass of an atom is the combined weight o the protons and neutrons. Since Oxygen's atomic mass is 16, it has 8 protons and 8 neutrons.

Assume that your electrical power company gets its energy from a hydroelectric dam. Outline all of the energy changes that occur
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

See explanation.

Explanation:

This isn't chemistry. Its physics. Kinetic energy (water) to electric energy (dam) as the hydroelectric dam works. Then, as the current travels from the plant to your crib, electric energy to heat energy (wire resistance). Then when you are using the dryer electric energy to heat energy (hot air) and sound energy (air particles vibrate due to the heat energy).
