Which atom in the ground state has an outermost electron with the most energy?(1) Cs (3) Li(2) K (4) Na

1 answer:

8 0

The answer is Cs, no. 2.
Cesium (Cs) is an element which has an outermost electron with most energy in the ground state.
Cesium (Cs), Lithium (Li), Potassium (K), and Sodium (Na) are elements which belong to the group 1 family, the alkali metals. Each has a valance of 1 and wants to release/ lose this e- (electron) to be isoelectronic with the nearest noble gas. Based on the periodic trends, an atom’s radii will raise going down a group.

What is the IUPAC name of the following compound?

pentagon [3]

Answer:

(d) 3,7-dimethyl-4-nonyne.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, considering the attached picture on which you can see that the main chain has nine carbon atoms, one tripe bond at the fourth carbon and two methyl radicals at the third and seventh carbons respectively, by following the IUPAC rules, the name would be: (d) 3,7-dimethyl-4-nonyne since the chain must start at the side closest to the first triple bond due to its priority and subsequently considering the present radicals.

Best regards.
