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
Chemistry

goblinko [34]3 years ago
6 0

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 O atoms are in 4C₆H₁₂O₆
ipn [44]

Number of O atoms : 24

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

C₆H₁₂O₆ compound

Required

Number of atoms

Solution

A molecular formula  shows the number of atomic elements in compound.  

The empirical formula is the smallest comparison of the atoms

Glucose-C₆H₁₂O₆ is composed of 3 elements, namely C, H, and O.

The number of atoms in a compound can usually be seen from the subscript number after the atom and the reaction coefficient shows the number of molecules

So number of O atoms :

= 4 x 6 = 24 atoms

5. Which of the following has variable composition<br>A. Water<br>B. sugar<br>C, soil<br>D. Salt​
erica [24]

Answer:

C. Soil

Explanation:

The choice with variable composition is the soil. Soil have many different composition.

  • Soil is made up of minerals, organic matter , water and soil air.
  • Soil minerals are derived from weathered bedrock materials that have been broken down into small pieces.
  • Organic matter is derived from dead and decaying materials from plants and animals.
  • All these materials combine together to form a soil.
