Which atom’s ionization energy is greater than that of phosphorus (P)? A. Ba B. K C. As D. Cl

Chemistry
1 answer:
WINSTONCH [101]3 years ago
5 0

Answer is: D. Cl (chlorine).

The ionization energy (Ei) is the minimum amount of energy required to remove the valence electron, when element lose electrons, oxidation number of element grows (oxidation process).

Barium, potassium and arsenic are metals (easily lost valence electrons), chlorine is nonmetal (easily gain electrons).

Alkaline metals (in this example, potassium) have lowest ionizations energy and easy remove valence electrons (one electron), earth alkaline metals (in this example, barium) have higher ionization energy than alkaline metals, because they have two valence electrons.

Nonmetals (in this example chlorine) are far right in the main group and they have highest ionization energy, because they have many valence electrons.

Gwar [14]

Answer:

4 1/2

Explanation:

Use a ratio to find your answer

 4          6

-----  =  -------

 3           x

Cross multiply to solve for x.

4x = 18

x = 18/4

x = 4 2/4  which is the same as 4 1/2

The half-cell is a chamber in the voltaic cell where one half-cell is the site of the oxidation reaction and the other half-cell
tankabanditka [31]

Explanation:

In a voltaic cell, oxidation reaction occurs at anode whereas reduction reaction occurs at the cathode.

Hence, the half-cell reaction taking place at anode and cathode will be as follows.

At anode (Oxidation) : Cr(s) \rightarrow Cr^{3+}(aq) + 3e^{-} ...... (1)

At cathode (Reduction) : Ag^{+}(aq) + 1e^{-} \rightarrow Ag(s)

So, in order to balance the half cell reactions, we multiply reduction reaction by 3. Hence, reduction reaction equation will be as follows.

              3Ag^{+}(aq) + 3e^{-} \rightarrow 3Ag(s)  ........ (2)

Therefore, overall reaction will be sum of equations as (1) + (2). Thus, net reaction equation is as follows.

      Cr(s) 3Ag^{+}(aq) \rightarrow Cr^{3+}(aq) + 3Ag(s)
