Explanation:

Ionization energy is the energy necessary for a gaseous atom or ion to remove an electron.

Larger is the size of an atom easily it is able to remove an electron as valence shell is away from the nucleus. So, there occurs no force of attraction between the nucleus and valence electrons.

On the other hand, smaller is the size of atom then more is the force of attraction between its nucleus and valence electrons. So, more energy is required to remove an electron. This causes high ionization energy.

Therefore, down the group size of atoms increases this results in decrease in ionization energy.

Since, Li, Na, K and Rb are all group 1 elements. Hence, their order of first ionization energies from highest to lowest will be as follows.

                                  Li > Na > K > Rb

The lewis dot notation for two atoms is shown. What is represented by this notation? K loses one portion to CI, K gains one port
telo118 [61]

Answer:

K loses one electron to CI

Explanation:

The lewis electron dot notation shows only the chemical symbol of the element surrounded by dots to represent the valence electrons.

  We have atom of K with one valence electrons

   Cl with 7 valence electrons

For an electrostatic attraction to occur, both particles must be charged. To do this, one of the species must lose an electron, and the other gains it.

This will make both species attain a stable octet;

   Hence, K will lose 1 electron and Cl will gain the electrons.
