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.

What would indicate that a physical change takes place when copper is drawn into wire?
Lina20 [59]

Any change in which the composition of material does not change that is it retains its identity but changes its state or form is known as a physical change.

The properties of metal to draw them into wires is known as ductility.  When a copper is drawn into wire the only change that occurs is change in its shape and size no change will take place into its composition that is the wires are still possessing the properties of copper metal. Thus, a physical change takes place when copper is drawn into wire.

Sugar when dissolved into water, propose whether the compound forms atoms, molecules or lattices. Justify you answer
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

atoms

Explanation:

for sugar to dissolve in water hydaration must be equal to or greater than the lattice energy or molecular forces so when the molecular forces breaks new atoms are formed for recombination in new compound

Imagine a small synthetic vesicle made from pure phospholipids enclosing an interior lumen containing 1 mM glucose and 1 mM sodi
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

C. H2O diffuses in.

Explanation:

<em>The phospholipids-made synthetic vesicle in this case will act like a semi-permeable membrane while the solution in the interior lumen will be hypertonic to the surrounding pure water. </em>

<em>Hence, water molecules will diffuse into the lumen through the semi-permeable membrane because of the osmotic gradient that exist between the internal and the surrounding solution of the vesicle.</em>
