Answer:
Francium (Fr)
Explanation:
From the given choices, francium will have the lowest ionization energy.
Ionization energy is the energy required to remove the most loosely held electron within an atom.
The magnitude of the ionization energy depends on the characteristics of the atom in relation to its nuclear charge, atomic radius, stability etc.
- Generally on the periodic table, ionization energy increases from left to right on the table
- As you go from metals to non-metals and to gases, the value of the ionization energy increases steadily.
- Down the group, the value reduces.
- Since Francium is the most metallic of all the given choices, it has the highest ionization energy.
Ions. Im 99.9% sure haha.
Answer:
~Na+1 is already in the preferred form. Because of this, the second ionization energy of sodium is higher than normal. Mg+1 loses an electron to form s2 p6 .
Positive ions are atoms that have lost an electron from its outtermost shell. It is positive because electrons are negative and the loss of something negative makes it a bit more positive.
A negative ion is larger than its original atom because it's gained an electron.
The more electrons an atomic has on its electron cloud, the bigger the atom.
Hopefully I didn't confuse you, good luck. ♡
