In general, the further away an electron is from the nucleus, the easier it is for it to be expelled. In other words, ionization energy is a function of atomic radius; the larger the radius, the smaller the amount of energy required to remove the electron from the outer most orbital. For example, it would be far easier to take electrons away from the larger element of Ca (Calcium) than it would be from one where the electrons are held tighter to the nucleus, like Cl (Chlorine). Hope this helped a little not the exact answer though :)
Answer:
C.) Argon
Explanation:
This is because ionisation energy increases as we move from left to right in a period. Argon presents in the right most column and Argon is a novel gas and has 8 electrons in outermost orbital. So, it is highly stable. I hope I helped! ^-^
This will be classified as light on the API scale due to the large percentage of lighter fractions such as paraffins and naphthenes.
Answer:
Compared to other stars we observe, the Sun appears bigger and brighter because it is much closer to earth.
Objects closer to earth appear to be much bigger and brighter.
Let me know if this helps!
Out of the five major mass extinction, one is Cretaceous-Tertiary extinction (K-T extinction). It happened 66 million years ago marked by the end of the Cretinous period.
