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.

Determine whether each of the examples represents a colligative property or a non-colligative property. boiling point elevation
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

boiling point elevation - colligative property

color - non-colligative property

freezing point depression - colligative property

vapor pressure lowering - colligative property

density - non-colligative property

Explanation:

A colligative property is a property that depends on the number of particles present in the system.

Freezing point depression, boiling point elevation and vapour pressure lowering are all colligative properties of solutions.

Colour and density do not depend on the number of particles present hence they are not colligative properties.

A. Describe the molecule chlorine dioxide, CIO in terms of three possible resonance structures.
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The compound ClO2 has 19 valence electrons.  ClO2 is a bent molecule with tetrahedral electron pair geometry but has two  lone pairs of electrons. This is indicated by the presence of four electron pairs on the outermost shell of the central atom.

The molecule has an odd number of valence electrons, hence, it is generally regarded as a paramagnetic radical. None of the proposed Lewis structures for the molecule is satisfactory because none of them obeys the octet rule.

From the images attached, one can easily see that the electron dots around the oxygen and chlorine atoms does not satisfy the octet rule in all the resonance structures shown.
