Based on position in the periodic table and electron configuration, arrange these elements in order of decreasing Ei1.
irakobra [83]

Answer:

Rb<K<Ga<As<Se<S

Explanation:

We must remember that first ionization energy decreases down the group and increases across the period.

First ionization energy decreases down the group because of the addition of more shells which increases the distance between the nucleus and the outermost electron. Hence, Rb has a lower ionization energy that K.

Across the period, increase in the size of the nuclear charge causes the pull of the nucleus on the outermost electrons to increase thereby increasing the ionization energy. Hence ionization energy increases across the period. For this reason, the ionization energy of Ga<As<Se as shown.

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer: b. False

K+ ions move faster than the Na+ ions through the neuron membranes.

The concentration of Sodium ions outside the cell is very high. The concentration of Potassium ions inside the cells is very high. Leakage channels thus allow sodium ions to move inside the cells and pumps out the Potassium from the cells.

4. Which atom will form an anion when forming an ionic bond?
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

Oxygen

Explanation:

Oxygen has 6 valence electrons and it wants to have 8 to obtain a stable octet. So Oxygen gains two electrons in the bond, developing an anion.

It is also a non-metal, and they tend to gain anions.
