Answer:
An ionic compound is formed when there is a reaction between the elements whose ions are electrostatically attracted.
Explanation:
The ionic compounds form crystalline networks with ionic bonding. Electrostatic attraction is a very strong bond that is very difficult to break. The stability of the ionic compound depends on the lattice energy, the higher it is, the more stable the compound is and the lattice energy is that which is released in the formation. At room temperature they are always in a solid state, because the bonds are very close and as stated before, they are difficult to break (providing a lot of energy)
Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
In an atom, the inner electrons may shield the outer electrons from the attractive force of the nucleus. We, refer to this phenomenon as the <u><em>shielding effect</em></u>, It is defined as a decrease in the magnitude of attraction between an electron and the nucleus of an atom having more than one electron shell (energy level).
Shielding effect increases down the group due to addition of more shells but decreases across the period due to the increase in the size of the nuclear charge.
As the magnitude of shielding increases down the group, ionization of electrons becomes easier and the first ionization energies of elements decreases as we move down the group. Since shielding effect decreases across the period, the first ionization energies of elements increases across the period.
