If energy absorbed is greater than energy emitted does temperature increase or decrease?

This question is incomplete because of the absence of the "Reference Table S", however the question can still be answered in the absence of the table. The energy described in the question is the ionization energy (energy required to remove the most loosely bound electron in an atom). This question seeks to know the atom (from the options provided) with the least ionization energy.

Ionization energy increases from left to right across the period because it's easier to remove a single electron (valence electron) from the outermost shell than to remove two electrons from the same shell; thus the more the valence electrons (in a shell), the higher the ionization energy. Thus, bromine (Br) and tin (Sn) have high ionization energies because they have more number of electrons in there outermost shell.

Berylium (Be) and strontium (Sr) are both in the group 2 of the periodic table because they both have 2 electrons in there outermost shell. Ionization energy decreases down a group. This is because the farther an electron is from the nucleus, the weaker the force of attraction between the nucleus and the electron. Thus, strontium (Sr) would have a lesser ionization energy between the two and would indeed have the least ionization among the options provided. Hence, the correct option is B

Which air pollutant contributes to asthma?

Mnenie [13.5K]

The correct answer is the second option. Particulate matter is the air pollutant known to affect people with asthma. It also can cause other illnesses like cough, chest discomfort and a burning sensation in the lungs.

Enter the correct ground-state (or lowest energy) configuration based on the number of electrons: 1s^4 2s^4 2p^12.

Blababa [14]

Answer:

The ground state configuration is the lowest energy, most stable arrangement. An excited state configuration is a higher energy arrangement (it requires energy input to create an excited state). Valence electrons are the electrons utilised for bonding.

Two electrons

Two electrons fill the 1s orbital, and the third electron then fills the 2s orbital. Its electron configuration is 1s22s1.
