Which element has the lowest ionization energy?

Answer:

Cs

Explanation:

This question is formatted oddly, but I understand the gist of it. Essentially, even if the periodic table is cut off by one row and missing the lanthanides and actinides, basic rules of the table still apply.

Remember the general trend of ionization energy: <u>the farther to the right and the farther up, the higher the ionization energy.</u>

As an example, fluorine is the "t-rex" of the elements because it's so electronegative that it hoards electrons, and that means it's hard to take its electrons away, which gives it a high ionization energy.

Out of the given choices, cesium Cs has the lowest ionization energy because it's so far to the left and so low. You can just nab an electron and it won't even mind too much.

<em>Why not the other answer choices? </em>Bromine is a halogen (so it's on the far right of the table) and it's fairly high up, so its ionization energy is much too high. Argon is a noble gas, so it's so stable that it hates it when someone tries to take an electron away; it has a very high ionization energy. Nickel, likewise, is a transition metal, so it's not the answer either.

Considering the temperature vs. time graph below, how does the temperature at the beginning of a change of state
Cloud [144]

Answer:

The temperature is always lower.

Explanation:

The temperature is always lower at the end of the state as compared to beginning of the state. We can see in the given data, the temperature is higher at the beginning i. e. 140 degree Celsius but with the passage of time, the temperature of a state decreases constantly  and the temperature at the end is lower i. e. 20 degree Celsius. So we can conclude that the temperature is always lower.

Name any <br>three kinds of mixtures with example​
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

Here are a few more examples:

Smoke and fog (Smog)

Dirt and water (Mud)

Sand, water and gravel (Cement)

Water and salt (Sea water)

Potassium nitrate, sulfur, and carbon (Gunpowder)

Oxygen and water (Sea foam)

Petroleum, hydrocarbons, and fuel additives (Gasoline)

Heterogeneous mixtures possess different properties and compositions in various parts i.e. the properties are not uniform throughout the mixture.

Examples of Heterogeneous mixtures – air, oil, and water, etc.

Examples of Homogeneous mixtures – alloys, salt, and water, alcohol in water, etc.
