<h2>Answer:</h2>

Among these elements the strontium (Sr) has lowest first ionization energy.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

The first ionization energy is the energy required to remove one mole of the most loosely held electrons from one mole of gaseous atoms to produce 1 mole of gaseous ions each with a charge of 1+.

The first of two main methods which scientists use to calculate the ionization energy is the Subtraction Method.

belka [17]

<span>In the field of science, usually, the product of an experiment is computed ahead to understand if it reached a specific objective. It would reach greater than 100% of percent yield if the factors include faster reaction rates; proper handling of the reactants, no outside contaminants, and the procedure of the experiment is followed smoothly. It would reach lesser than 100% percent yield if the experiment is not followed, external factors such as contamination from the environment (wind, moisture, etc). </span>

An iron loses electrons. State the type of charge it will end up with

erastova [34]

Answer:

Most atoms do not have eight electrons in their valence electron shell. Some atoms have only a few electrons in their outer shell, while some atoms lack only one or two electrons to have an octet. In cases where an atom has three or fewer valence electrons, the atom may lose those valence electrons quite easily until what remains is a lower shell that contains an octet. Atoms that lose electrons acquire a positive charge as a result because they are left with fewer negatively charged electrons to balance the positive charges of the protons in the nucleus. Positively charged ions are called cations. Most metals become cations when they make ionic

Mamont248 [21]

Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Horticulture is the study of science related to the art of growing fruits, vegetables, or plants.

Therefore, when a person graduated from a college with a degree in horticulture then it means he has obtained enough knowledge about how to grow plants, fruits or vegetables in the best way possible.

Thus, Vincent who also graduated in horticulture cannot accurately tell about human psychology.

Hence, we can conclude that the statement this claim may not be accurate because the blog is produced by someone who is not an expert in the field of human psychology.

Give the name and formula of the compound formed from the following elements: (a) sodium and nitrogen; (b) oxygen and strontium;

lisov135 [29]

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>For a:</u> The chemical name and chemical formula formed is sodium nitride and $Na_3N$

<u>For b:</u> The chemical name and chemical formula formed is strontium oxide and $SrO$

<u>For c:</u> The chemical name and chemical formula formed is aluminium chloride and $AlCl_3$

<u>Explanation:</u>

For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.

The nomenclature of ionic compounds is given by:

1. Positive is written first.

2. The negative ion is written next and a suffix is added at the end of the negative ion. The suffix written is '-ide'.

<u>For a:</u> Sodium and nitrogen:

Sodium is the 11th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Ne]3s^1$

To form $Na^{+}$ ion, this element will loose 1 electron.

Nitrogen is the 7th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of $[He]2s^22p^3$ .

To form $N^{3-}$ ion, this element will gain 3 electrons.

By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.

So, the chemical formula for sodium nitride is $Na_3N$

<u>For b:</u> Oxygen and strontium

Strontium is the 38th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Kr]5s^2$ .

To form $Sr^{2+}$ ion, this element will loose 2 electrons.

Oxygen is the 8th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of $[He]2s^22p^4$ .

To form $O^{2-}$ ion, this element will gain 2 electrons.

By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.

So, the chemical formula for strontium oxide is $SrO$

<u>For c:</u> Aluminium and chlorine

Aluminium is the 13th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Ne]3s^23p^1$

To form $Al^{3+}$ ion, this element will loose 3 electrons.

Chlorine is the 17th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Ne]3s^23p^5$

To form $Cl^{-}$ ion, this element will gain 1 electron.

By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.

So, the chemical formula for aluminium chloride is $AlCl_3$
