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.

Why do reactivity increases on moving from top to bottom in group 2 of modern periodic table?

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

that's because....

group 1 (e.g Na, K) those tend to lose one electron to gain noble gas electron configuration.

they can achieve that by just losing one electron from their outer shell.

as you go down the group 1, element gets bigger in size, which means there is more space between nucleus (which is in center of atom) and electron of outer shell. the more far away they are the less attraction force between them.

so its easier for potassuim to lose one electron than for lithuim.

so that means potassium will easily give up 1 electron to react with non metal or other element therefore it is more reactive than lithuim

but in case of non metal, the opposite happens but simple to understand.

as you go down the group 7 (halogen- Cl, Br, I) element will get bigger therefore force between nucleus and outer electron is getting smaller. they have to gain 1 electron in order to fill the outer shell (to gain noble gas electron configuration.)

as florine is more smaller in size than clorine it is more reactive because florine has more tendency to pull extra electron from metal or other element towards its side. so it easily gain 1 electron to react.

Question #1: Identify the type of Mutation below

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

Deletion

Explanation:

A mutation refers to a change in the DNA sequence. This means that the original sequence of bases in the DNA has been altered permanently.

There are three types of DNA mutations; base substitutions, deletions and insertions.

In the particular case of this question, the original is TTCGATA while the copy is TTGATA. If you look closely at the two, you will notice that the C has been omitted. This is an example of deletion.

Describe the temperature changes that occur in ice as energy is added, starting in the frozen state and ending in the vapor stat

Ket [755]

Explanation:

When water is frozen then it is known as ice and its state is solid. So, its molecules will be held closer to each other as they are held by strong intermolecular forces of attraction.

As a result, its temperature will be minimum as its molecules have least kinetic energy.

It is known that kinetic energy of a substance is directly proportional to temperature.

As, K.E = $\frac{3}{2}kT$

where K.E = kinetic energy

T = temperature

k = boltzmann constant

When solid changes into liquid state then it means molecules of a substance has gained kinetic energy due to which there occurs more collisions between the molecules.

Hence, temperature of substance also increases.

Whereas when liquid state of a substance changes intro vapor state then it means that more kinetic energy has gained by the molecules due to which there will be much more collisions between the molecules.

Hence, temperature will be maximum in vapor state.

Predict, using Boyle’s Law, what will happen to a balloon that an ocean diver takes to a pressure of 202 kPa (normal atmospheric

kaheart [24]

Explanation:

Balloon that an ocean diver takes to a pressure of 202 k Pa will get reduced in size that is the volume of the balloon will get reduced. This is because pressure and volume of the gas are inversely related to each other.

According to Boyle's law: The pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume occupied by the gas at constant temperature(in Kelvins).

$pressure\propto \frac{1}{volume}$ (At constant temperature)

The pressure beneath the sea is 202 kPa and the atmospheric pressure is 101.3 kPa . This increase in pressure will result in decrease in volume occupied by the gas inside the balloon with decrease in size of a balloon. Hence, the size of the balloon will get reduced at 202 kPa (under sea).
