Ionization energy increases from left to right in the row and from bottom to top in a column. Also as we get closer to the nucleus it would be harder to take electrons out. B  (atomic #5) has 2 layers of electron 2 and 3 atom in each layer. P has 15 so it would be 2,8 and 5 respectively. Ca is 20 so 2,8,8,2 and Zn is 30 and it would be 2,18,8,2.
For energy between second and third ionization we are looking at taking out the 3rd electron. B already has 3 electron in the first layer so its easy to take them all. P has 5 in the last layer so again easy. But when we look at Ca and Zn after the 2nd electron (in the last layer) we should change the layer go one layer inside. So this needs more energy. To pick between Zn and Ca (they are in the same row)  I mentioned earlier that in one row as we go to the right ionization energy increases so the answer is Zn.

How many grams of oxygen gas must react to give 2.10g of ZnO?
Advocard [28]
The chemical reaction is written as:

2Zn + O2 = 2ZnO

We are given the amount of the product to be produced from the reaction. We use this value and the relation of the substances in the reaction to calculate what is asked. We do as follows:

2.10 g ZnO ( 1 mol / 81.408 g ) ( 1  mol O2 / 2 mol ZnO ) ( 32 g / 1 mol ) = 0.414 g O2 is needed

Can some atoms exceed the limits of the octet rule in bonding? If so, give an example.
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

Yes. Example: <u>Sulfur hexafluoride (SF₆) molecule</u>

Explanation:

According to the octet rule, elements tend to form chemical bonds in order to have <u>8 electrons in their valence shell</u> and gain the stable s²p⁶ electronic configuration.

However, this rule is generally followed by main group elements only.

Exception: <u>SF₆ molecule</u>

In this molecule, six fluorine atoms are attached to the central sulfur atom by single covalent bonds.

<u>Each fluorine atom has 8 electrons in their valence shells</u>. Thus, it <u>follows the octet rule.</u>

Whereas, there are <u>12 electrons around the central sulfur atom</u> in the SF₆ molecule. Therefore, <u>sulfur does not follow the octet rule.</u>

<u>Therefore, the SF₆ molecule is known as a </u><u>hypervalent molecule</u><u> or expanded-valence molecule.</u>

Most enzymes work best at 37C because at lower and higher temperatures, the conditions are not optimal for their performance. Ex
finlep [7]

That's because the solubility

  • Temperature is directly proportional to solubility

Higher the solubility higher the temperature

Lower the temperature lower the solubility

So

Less temperature makes enzymes work faster
