1) <em>Most ionizable atom </em>

Atomic size increases as you go down a Group (see image 1). We are adding electrons to increasingly larger shells.

The <em>valence electrons are further from the attraction of the nucleus</em>, so they are less tightly held.

Thus, Ba will form ions most readily.

2) <em>Ionization energy </em>

As an atom gets larger, the electrons are less strongly attracted to the nucleus, so it takes less energy to remove the valence electrons.

<em>Ionization energies decrease from top to bottom</em> of a Group in the Periodic Table.

Thus, in Group 2, Be has the highest ionization energy, and it decreases as you go down the Group. Ba has the lowest ionization energy.

3) <em>Ionization energy exceptions </em>

In general, ionization energies increase from left to right in a period.

However, the ionization energies of B and O are smaller than that of their immediate predecessors (see image 2).

The ionization energy of B is less than that of Be because B has a filled 2s orbital, which increases the shielding of the 2p electron and reduces the ionization energy.

The ionization energy of O is less than that of N because we are adding an extra electron to a half-filled 2p subshell.

The extra electron must go into an orbital that already contains another electron. The increased repulsion raises the energy level.

It becomes easier to remove an electron, so the ionization energy decreases.

In sexual reproduction, if each chromosome in a pair has the same genes, how is genetic variety possible?
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

The same genes or slightly different versions of the same gene can be found on each chromosome in a pair. They form a line and split off bits of themselves, which they barter with one another. In sexual reproduction, crossing over is the first method that genes are shuffled to develop genetic variation.

How many hydrogen atoms are in 35.0 grams of hydrogen gas? How many hydrogen atoms are in 35.0 grams of hydrogen gas? 4.25 × 102
Ede4ka [16]

Answer: 2.12\times 10^{25} atoms of hydrogen are there in

35.0 grams of hydrogen gas.

Explanation:

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance occupies 22.4 L at STP and contains avogadro's number 6.023\times 10^{23} of particles.

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}=\frac{35.0g}{2g/mol}=17.5moles

1 mole of hydrogen (H_2) = 2\times 6.023\times 10^{23}=12.05\times 10^{23} atoms

17.5 mole of hydrogen (H_2) = \frac{12.05\times 10^{23}}{1}\times 17.5=2.12\times 10^{25} atoms

There are 2.12\times 10^{25} atoms of hydrogen are there in

35.0 grams of hydrogen gas.

Liters of a 2.40 M
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

1.42 L

Explanation:

Step 1:

The following data were obtained from the question :

Molarity of KBr = 2.40 M

Mole of KBr = 3.40 moles

Volume of solution =?

Step 2:

Determination of the volume of the solution.

Molarity of solution is simply the mole of the solute per unit volume the of solution. It is given as :

Molarity = mole /Volume

Volume = mole /Molarity

Volume = 3.4/2.4

Volume = 1.42 L

Therefore, the volume of the solution is 1.42 L

To which period does an element belong if it has its 3d orbitals filled
swat32

fourth period

The third period is similar to the second, except the 3s and 3p sublevels are being filled. Because the 3d sublevel does not fill until after the 4s sublevel, the fourth period contains 18 elements, due to the 10 additional electrons that can be accommodated by the 3d orbitals.
