A) Ca, Mg, Be
The first ionization energy increases as we move up a group because of the smaller atomic size and less shielding of electrons.
Answer:
d. p3-
Explanation:
Phosphorus has fifteen electrons in its orbitals and five electrons in its outermost shell. An atom is said to have noble gas configuration when it has eight electron in its outermost shell.
In order to have eight electrons in its outermost shell, phosphorus must accept three electrons and form an ion of the sort P^3-. This ion now has eighteen electrons (argon configuration) and eight electrons in the outermost shell.
The correct option is A.
The chemical equation given above is an endothermic reaction. An endothermic reaction is a type of reaction which absorb heat from the environment. An endothermic reaction needs heat to occur, therefore, increasing the temperature of such a reaction will favor the formation of more product and the equilibrium of the reaction will shift [forward] to the right, which is the product side.
