Arrange the following atoms in order of increasing first ionization energy: He, Be, Se, Ne
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

Be (899 kj/mol) , Se (940.9 kj/mol), Ne(2081 kj/mol), He (2370 kj/mol),

Explanation:

For noble gases as they have complete octet so they require high amount of energy to remove the electron.

Trend along period:

As we move from left to right across the periodic table the number of valance electrons in an atom increase. The atomic size tend to decrease in same period of periodic table because the electrons are added with in the same shell. When the electron are added, at the same time protons are also added in the nucleus. The positive charge is going to increase and this charge is greater in effect than the charge of electrons. This effect lead to the greater nuclear attraction. The electrons are pull towards the nucleus and valance shell get closer to the nucleus. As a result of this greater nuclear attraction atomic radius decreases and ionization energy increases because it is very difficult to remove the electron from atom and more energy is required.

Trend along group:

As we move down the group atomic radii increased with increase of atomic number. The addition of electron in next level cause the atomic radii to increased. The hold of nucleus on valance shell become weaker because of shielding of electrons thus size of atom increased.

As the size of atom increases the ionization energy from top to bottom also  decreases because it becomes easier to remove the electron because of less nuclear attraction and as more electrons are added the outer electrons becomes more shielded and away from nucleus.

Atoms of metallic elements tend to
melomori [17]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

One of the properties of metals is their abilities to form a stable compounds by losing electron(s). Metals form positive ions (cations) when they lose electron(s).

1. Which graph shows the melting of crystalline solids? Explain your reasoning.
madreJ [45]
(1) The melting of a crystalline solid is best depicted by the second graph. This is because, the second graph shows a horizontal line which means that for a while there was no change in temperature. This zone is the latent heat of fusion. 

(2) The first graph shows the graph of a solid that is just heated but does not experience phase change. However, the second graph shows a solid that changes phase (from crystal/solid to liquid).

4NH3 + 3O2 mc004-1.jpg 2N2 + 6H2O
ioda
Assuming the complete question is;
Consider the balanced equation below;
4NH3 + 3O2 = 2N2 +6H2O
What is the mole ratio of NH3 to N2;
From the balanced equation; the mole ratio of NH3 to N2 is 4:2.
The mole ratio is the ratio of moles of one substance to the number of moles of another substance in a balanced equation. In the above equation; 4 moles of ammonia requires 3 moles of oxygen to produce two moles of nitrogen and six moles of water.
