Among the elements of the main group, the first ionization energy increases \boxed{{\text{a}}{\text{. from left to right across a period}}}.

Further Explanation:

Ionization energy:

It is the minimum amount of energy that is required to remove the most loosely bound electron of a neutral isolated gaseous atom. It is usually represented as IE. If less amount of energy is needed for electron removal, it is said to have less ionization energy and vice-versa.

When the first electron is to be removed from the neutral atom, the required energy is called the first ionization energy, denoted by . Similarly, when the second electron is removed, the ionization energy is termed as the second ionization energy and is represented by .

The representation of first ionization energy is as follows:

 {\text{A}} - {e^ - }\xrightarrow{{{\text{ I}}{{\text{E}}_1}}}{{\text{A}}^ + }

The representation of second ionization energy is as follows:

 {{\text{A}}^ + } - {e^ - }\xrightarrow{{{\text{ I}}{{\text{E}}_2}}}{{\text{A}}^{2 + }}

While moving from left to right in a period, the atomic number increases but the electrons are to be added in the same valence shell. This results in an increase in the effective nuclear charge across a period due to which the outermost electrons experience stronger attractive forces with the atomic nucleus and atomic size decreases. Since atomic size decreases in a period, the first ionization energy increases from left to right while moving across a period. The main group elements show regular trends in the first ionization energy throughout the period.

When we move from top to bottom, the atomic number increases as well as the number of shells increases which results in an increase in the atomic size down the group. Since size increases down the group, the first ionization energy decreases in a group. The main group elements show regular trends in the first ionization energy down the group.

Answer is: a. from left to right across a period.

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).

Alkaline metals (far left in main group) have lowest ionizations energy and easy remove valence electrons (one electron, earth alkaline metals (right next to alkaline metals) have higher ionization energy than alkaline metals, because they have two valence electrons.

Nonmetals are far right in the main group and they have highest ionization energy, because they have many valence electrons.

Serga [27]

Answer:

1. When you first opened the bottle of coke the pressure of gas in the coke (increased) and the dissolved gas(leaves) the coke. 2. When you placed the coke in hot water , the pressure of gas in the coke (increased) and the dissolved gas(leaves) the coke 3. Therefore to increase the solubility of a gas in a liquid ( that is to make a gas more soluble in a liquid.

The cost, C C, of producing x x Totally Cool Coolers is modeled by the equation C = 0.005 x 2 − 0.25 x + 12 C=0.005x2-0.25x+12 H
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

25 coolers are need to be produce and sell in order to minimize the cost.

Explanation:

C = 0.005x^2-0.25x+12 ..[1]

Differentiating the given expression with respect to dx.

\frac{dC}{dx}=\frac{d(0.005x^2-0.25x+12)}{dx}

\frac{dC}{dx}=0.01x-0.25+0

Putting ,\frac{dC}{dx}=0

0=0.01x-0.25+0

0.01x=0.25

x = 25

Taking second derivative of expression [1]

\frac{d^2C}{dx^2}=\frac{d(0.01x-0.25)}{dx}=0.01

\frac{d^2C}{dx^2}>0 (minima)

25 coolers are need to be produce and sell in order to minimize the cost.

What is the charge of an atom after it loses an electron during the formation of a bond
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

One positve charge

Explanation:

A neural atom is one that has equal number of protons and electrons. The protons are the positively charged subatomic particles in an atom. The electrons are the negatively charged particles in an atom.

For an atom to be charged during bond formation, it must lose or gain electrons. The number of electrons lost or gained conditions the charge on the ions it forms.

If in a neutral atom, it loses an electron, we see that the number of protons will now be more than the number of electrons by the 1 electron it lost. The charge will then be +1.

If a neutral atom gains an electron, the number of electrons will be more than that of the protons by 1. The charge will then be -1.
