Which of the following elements has the lowest ionization energy?

Chemistry
1 answer:
larisa86 [58]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Rb

Explanation:

Ionization energy is defined required energy to eliminate or remove an electron from an ion or atom.

From the given elements Rb or Rubidium has the lowest ionization energy as it has lowest shielding effect, so it easy to remove electron from it's shell.

The ionization energy generally decreases from top to bottom in groups due to lower shielding effect and outer electrons are loosely packed so easy to remove and increases from left to right across a period because of valence shell stability.

Rubidium has atomic number 37 and lies below than other given elements and also placed in the left side in the periodic table.

Hence, the correct option is Rb

The ksp of pbi2 is 1.4 x 10-8. what is the molar solubility of lead(ii iodide in a solution of 0.400 m sodium iodide?
tino4ka555 [31]
The solubility product of a substance us calculated by the product of the concentration of the dissociated ions in the solution raise to the stoichiometric coefficient of the ions. Therefore, we need the dissociation reaction. For this, it will have the reaction:

PbI2 = Pb^2+ + 2I-

We solve as follows:

Ksp = [Pb2+][I-]^2 = <span>1.4 x 10-8
</span><span>1.4 x 10-8 = x(2x)^2
</span><span>1.4 x 10-8 = 4x^3
x = 1.5x10^-3 M

The molar solubility would be </span>1.5x10^-3 M.

How many moles are in 7.1x10^21 atoms of iron?
Nitella [24]

Answer:

0.011 moles

Explanation:

There are about 6.02*10^23 atoms in a mole, so in the given sample, there are

\frac{7.01 \times  {10}^{21} }{6.02 \times  {10}^{23} }

which is about 0.011 moles.

Which of the following describes a covalent bond?
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

D. It is the sharing of electrons between atoms with an electronegativity difference below 1.7

Covalent bonds share electrons, whereas ionic bonds exchange electrons. Covalent bonds have an electronegativity of 0.0-1.7 (0.0-0.3 is a nonpolar covalent bond and 0.3-1.7 is a polar covalent bond). Ionic bonds are bonds that go beyond the electronegativity of 1.7 to 4.0 (1.7-4.0).
