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.

dedylja [7]

Answer:

The reason is because Flagstaff is at a higher elevation than Phoenix.

Explanation:

The air is thinner at higher elevations. You can google Flagstaff's elevation compared to Phoenix but the simple answer is that air is thinner at higher elevations and some people used to 'thicker' air find it harder to breath, especially after some strenuous exercise.

Water boils at 100°C at sea level. If the water in this experiment did not boil at 100°C, what could be the reason?
RSB [31]
One reason could be that the water in this experiment, didn’t boil, but instead became a “chemical reaction” from atmospheric pressure which is normal.

While heating two different samples, of
sea level water it decides on a temperature of 102°C and the other boils at 99.2°C. Basically calculating of the percent error.

Given the different molecular weights, dipole moments, and molecular shapes, why are their molar volumes nearly the same?
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

option d

Explanation:

Molecular sizes of gaseous molecules are very less. Volume occupied by the all the molecules of the gases are very less or negligible as compared to the container in which it is kept. Therefore, most of the volume occupied by gaseous molecules are negligible.

Volume occupied by the gaseous molecules are actually the volume of the container and its does not depend upon the amount, molecular mass or dipole moment of the gaseous molecules.

Therefore, the correct option is d ‘Because most of the volume occupied by the substance is empty space.’
