As the first five elements in Group 15 are considered in order of increasing atomic number, first ionization energy increases, t

Answer: the first ionization energy decreases.


Justification:


1) The group 15 is formed by N, P, As, Sb, Bi, and Mc.


2) The first ionization energy is defined as the energy needed to remove an electron from the neutral atom in the gas state.


3) The elements of the group 15 have the following general electron configuration for the valence shell: ns² np³. Where n is the principal quantum number (the same number of the row in which the element is).


4) As you go down in the group, n increases, and the valence electrons are further away of the nucleous, meaning that those electrons are lessen attracted to the nucleous.


Consequently, as you go down in the group, the electrons will be removed more easily, i.e less energy will be required to get them removed.


5) That permits you to predict this order in the first ionization energies: N > P > As > Sb > Bi > Mc.


And that agrees with the data that you can find in a table of first ionization energies.

A scientist is studying a previously unknown chemical reaction. She concludes that it is exothermic. What must the scientist hav
SVEN [57.7K]
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the first option. She concluded that the reaction is an exothermic one because t<span>he reaction released heat. Exothermic is when heat goes out of the system. The opposite is referred to as an endothermic reaction.</span>

The intensity of a sound describes
baherus [9]
The intensity of a sound describes <em>its loudness at a particular distance</em><em />

Sound intensity is factored by the ear's sensitivity to the particular frequencies contained in a sound

Sound loudness describes the strength of the ear's perception of a sound.

These two points being said, if the ear is more sensitive to a frequency, that sound will be louder to us than sounds at different frequencies that might not be as sensitive to our ears. <em>So, the more intense the sound, the louder it is ;)</em>

Thank you for your question! I hope this helped! Have an amazing day! :D

When elements combine to form compounds does there properties change?
Amiraneli [1.4K]
Yes, they do. The process described is a chemical reaction and it implies the change of nature of reactants and, of course, the change of its properties.
