An atom with high ionization energy will form a positive ion more easily than an atom with low ionization energy. True False

The statement "An atom with high ionization energy will form a positive ion more easily than an atom with low ionization energy" is false.

In this context , we will define ionization energy as the minimum energy required to remove a valence electron from a neutral atom in it's gaseous state.  In a sense the ionization energy is a measure the amount of 'difficulty' of making something an ion. A high ionization energy means that it takes a lot of energy to remove a valence electron from that atom. A low ionization energy means that it is easy to remove a valence electron from the atom. It is known that group 1 elements generally have a low ionization energy.  On the other hand, it is harder for noble gasses and group 7 atoms to loose electrons because they have higher ionization energy.

To form a positive ion, you have to remove an electron. When an electron is removed from an atom, there ion formed has more positive charges than negative charges in it, making it net positive. We have established that atoms with low ionization energy loose elections much more easily. We have also established that atoms with high ionization energy do not loose electrons easily. From this we can gather that the statement is false. An atom with high ionization energy will not form a positive ion more easily that an atom with low ionization energy.

ANSWER ASAPP<br> What causes the motion of particles? And more energy equals what?
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

particles in solids are always vibrating (moving back and forth) in place the vibrational motion of particles in solids is kinetic energy heat makes the particles in a solid vibrate faster, giving them more kinetic energy faster-vibrating particles bump into one another more often and hit each other harder

Ecell = E°cell - RT/vF * lnQ

R is the gas constant: 8.3145 J/Kmol
T is the temperature in kelvin: 273.15K = 0°C, 25°C = 298.15K
v is the amount of electrons, which in your example seems to be six (I'm not totally sure)
F is the Faradays constant: 96485 J/Vmol (not sure about the mol)
Q is the concentration of products divided by the concentration of reactants, in which we ignore pure solids and liquids: [Mg2+]³ / [Fe3+]²

Standard conditions is 1 mol, at 298.15K and 1 atm

To find E°cell, you have to look up the reduction potensials of Fe3+ and Mg2+, and solve like this:

E°cell = cathode - anode

Cathode is where the reduction happens, so that would be the element that recieves electrons. Anode is where the oxidation happens, so that would be the element that donates electrons. In your example Fe3+ recieves electrons, and should be considered as cathode in the equation above. 

When you have found E°cell, you can just solve with the numbers I gave you.
