The trend of ionization energy in the periodic table is decreasing from right to left and from top to bottom. In this case, we are given with elements <span>K, Ca, Ge, Se, Br, Kr and see the periodic table to check the trend. The answer from highest to lowest Kr, Br, Se, Ge, Ca, and K</span>

The order of the first ionization energy of the given elements from highest to lowest is \boxed{{\mathbf{Kr > Br > Se > Ge > Ca > K}}}

Further Explanation:

The energy that is needed to remove the most loosely bound valence electrons from the isolated neutral atom of the gas is known as the ionization energy. It is denoted by IE. The value of IE is related to the ease of removing the outermost valence electrons. If these electrons are removed so easily, small ionization energy is required and vice-versa. It is inversely proportional to the size of the atom.

Ionization energy is further represented as first ionization, second ionization and so on. When the first electron is removed from a neutral, isolated gaseous atom, the energy needed for the purpose is known as the first ionization energy, written as {\text{I}}{{\text{E}}_1} . Similarly, when the second electron is removed from the positively charged species (cation), the ionization energy is called the second ionization energy \left( {{\text{I}}{{\text{E}}_2}} \right) and so on.

Potassium, calcium, germanium, selenium, bromine, and krypton belong to the same period of the periodic table.

Along a period, the atomic number increases but the number of shells remains the same while moving from left to right.

The number of protons, as well as the electrons, increases with the increase in the atomic number but the extra electrons are added in the same shell. Due to the high positive nuclear charge, the effective nuclear charge also increases. This results in an increase in the first ionization energy. So krypton will have the highest first ionization energy, followed by bromine, selenium, germanium, calcium, and potassium will have the lowest ionization energy.

blondinia [14]

Answer:

the answer would be (A.) and (D.).

Explanation:

the reason for that being is because if calcium sulfate is a main component of plaster of  paris you would need to find out what is in it that makes it the main component aka (the formula) therefore part of the answer is (A.). The other part of the answer was (D.) because you would need to find the amount of calcium sulfate that contain 12 grams of oxegeon atoms because you finding the answer to that could lead to the answer of what is the main component of plaster of Paris.

All factors that cause an increase in the rate of dissolving have what in common?
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

They increase the attractive forces between the solute and solvent particles.

Explanation:

The dissolution of a solute in a solvent depends on interaction between the solute and the solvent. The more the attractive force and interaction between solute and solvent, the greater the greater the rate of dissolution of the solute in the solvent.

The absence of interaction between solute and solvent molecules means that the substance can not dissolve in that particular solvent. Hence, any factor that enhances solute-solvent interaction will enhance dissolution of a solute in a particular solvent.
