Answer:
The statement that best describes the trend in first ionization enery of elements on the periodic table is:
It generally decreases down a group because valence electrons are farther from the nucleus.
The first ionization energy measures how difficult is to release an electron from the outermost shell. The higher the ionization energy the more difficult it is to release an electron, the lower the ionication energy the easier to release an electron.
As the atomic number of the atom increases (which is what happens when you go down a group) the furthest the outermost shell of electrons will be (the size of the atoms increases) and so those electrons require less energy to be released, which means that the ionization energy decreases.
Hope it helps!
The hypothesis is that
the green coloration of plants is related to sunlight exposure of leaves
The hypothesis is tested by keeping a dark green plant inside a dark closet
The result is that the green coloration faded
The conclusion must be that exposure to sunlight affects the green color of the plants
(I posted the picture for a ray diagram and the first law of reflection.) The rays show the first law of reflection since everything gets reflected. Look at the picture for more:
Anything considered as a herbivore would be something that eats plants
