Answer: Belongs to the group 2A
Explanation:
As you can see, the first two ionization energies are close and low, meaning that this element ionizates easily.
Not only loses easily the first electron, but the second too
To remove the third electron you requiered a huge amount of energy
Now, elements easily ionizable are the ones from group IA, group 2A and transition metals.
The last ones have mixed characteristics in matter of how many electrons you can remove from them, so they are not a family.
Now the question: group I or group II ?
The elements of group I have low ionization energies for the first electron but high energies for the second ones.
Being all that said, the unknown element belongs to the Group 2A
We should use renewable resources wisely because <u>if we over use them the resources we already have will decline.</u>
The reaction rate or rate of reaction is the speed at which a chemical reaction takes place, defined as proportional to the increase in the concentration of a product per unit time and to the decrease in the concentration of a reactant per unit time.
Reactions that happen quickly have a high rate of reaction. For example, the chemical weathering of rocks is a very slow reaction: it has a low rate of reaction. Explosions are very fast reactions: they have a high rate of reaction. Rate of reaction is an example of a compound measure.
