Answer:
The ionization energy of each successive element generally decreases
Explanation:
The ionization energy increases in the periods of the periodic table and decreases in the groups. If the atom is very small, we will need a lot of energy to release the electron, while if the atom is larger the energy will be greater.
Answer:
C. transition elements
Explanation:
Transition elements are groups of metallic elements that have partially filled d orbitals. They occupy the d-block of the periodic table (Group 3-12). Examples of elements that fall under this category are Nickel (Ni), Cobalt (Co), Copper (Cu), Zinc (Zn) etc. Transition metals have outstanding properties that distinguishes them from other elements.
One of these properties is their ability to form colored compounds due to their unfilled d electron shells. They form ions that are usually colored in solid compounds and in solution.
Answer:
Because of the less reactivity of copper.
Explanation:
As well as being resistant to the elements and thereby less likely to be affected by rainfall, hail, and mildew than other types of roofing, copper is also one of the most fireproof materials available. Copper is also highly resistant to thermal changes and thereby doesn't deteriorate quickly.
Magnesium would also corrode PDQ. Magnesium sheeting would also pose an unacceptably high fire hazard.
