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

hen decreases decreases, then increases decreases increases

goblinko [34]3 years ago

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.

How many grams are in 5.60 moles of sodium hydroxide (NaOH)​
Illusion [34]

Answer: I believe it should be 224g.

Explanation: There are 40g for every one mole of NaOH, so multiply the two to get to 224. I hope that helps!

Write the balanced chemical equation where liquid decane burns in oxygen gas to form carbon dioxide gas and water vapor. Use the
Allushta [10]

Answer:

2C_{10} H_{22(l)} + 31O2(g)--> 20CO_{2(g)} + 22H_{2}O_{(g)}

Explanation:

2C_{10} H_{22(g)} + 31O2(g)--> 20CO_{2(g)} + 22H_{2}O_{(g)}

From the question, one can work out which states of matter to assign to which species. The trick with organic equations of this nature is to try to balance everything but oxygen first. Make sure you balance oxygen last because it is the easiest to balance.
