Which element requires the least amount of
energy to remove the most loosely held electron
from a gaseous atom in the ground state?
<h3>Answer-</h3><h3>Na</h3>
C.) Action force unless it has potential/stored enerygy
PbH4 will be formed as a result of a polar covalent bond between the H and the Pb.
Since H is more electronegative than the Pb, it is, thus, expected that the H would be able to pull the electron charge towards itself. This will result in the H being negative.
Based on this:
PbH4 would be expected to <span>have polar covalent bonds with a partial negative charges on the H atoms. </span>
According to periodic trends, bismuth has the greatest atomic radius.
