Answer: B.) They are all gas planets
I hope this helps!
Answer:
Atom
Explanation:
Its the smallest unit into which matter can be divided without the release of electrically charged particles.
Answer:
Option (d) chlorine has a greater ionization energy than sodium
Explanation:
Ionization energy is the energy required to remove an electron from a gaseous atom or ion. Sodium has just 1 electron in it's outmost shell and chlorine has 7.
Sodium needs 7 electrons to complete it's octet configuration and chlorine needs just 1.
Sodium can not attract 7 electrons to complete it's octet configuration instead it will easily lose the 1 electron in it's outmost shell to form cation. On the other hand, it will be difficult for chlorine to lose any of it's outmost electrons. This makes chlorine to have higher ionization energy than sodium.
Mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons inside an atom.
Atomic mass = no. of protons + no. of neutrons
C) They each form similar compounds when combined with oxygen.
Explanation:
The given elements have a common characteristics as they each form similar compounds when combined with oxygen.
Beryllium, magnesium and calcium all are located in the alkaline earth group.
Elements in the same group have the same chemical properties.
- Density and melting point are physical properties of matter which varies down a group on the periodic table.
- Their reaction with oxygen denotes a statement of their chemical properties.
- Chemical properties of matter is a function of their valency.
- Group two elements have a valency of two. They have two electrons in their outermost shell.
- Therefore, they all form ionic bonds when they react with oxygen.
