Examination of the first few successive ionization energies for a given element usually reveals a large jump between two ionizat

ion energies. For example, the successive ionization energies of magnesium show a large jump between IE2 and IE3. The successive ionization energies of aluminum show a large jump between IE3 and IE4. Explain why these jumps occurs and how you might predict them.

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

Ionization energy refers to the energy required to remove an electron from an atom. Metals have lower ionization energy than non metals since ionization energy increases across a period.

One thing that we must have in mind is that it takes much more energy to remove an electron from an inner filled shell than it takes to remove an electron from an outermost incompletely filled shell.

Now let us consider the case of magnesium which has two outermost electrons. Between IE2 and IE3 we have now moved to an inner filled shell(IE3 refers to removal of electrons from the inner second shell) and a lot of energy is required to remove an electron from this inner filled shell, hence the jump.

For aluminium having three outermost electrons, there is a jump between IE3 and IE4 because IE4 deals with electron removal from a second inner filled shell and a lot of energy is involved in the process hence the jump.

Hence a jump occurs each time electrons are removed from an inner filled shell.

When an alkaline earth metal, a, reacts with a halogen, x, the formula of the covalent compund formed should be a2x?
Ierofanga [76]

Alkaline earth metal are the elements present in II group in the periodic table and are known as 'Metals' and have a charge of +2.

Alkaline earth metals - Be , Mg Ca, Sr , Ba, Ra

Halogens are present in VII A group in the periodic table and are 'Non-metals' and have a charge of -1.

Halogens - F, Cl, Br, I, At

When Alkaline earth metal (metals) combine with Halogens (non-metals) the compound formed will be ionic compound and the formula of the compound will be based on the charges of the element.

When we write the formula of the ionic compound the charges of the elements get criss crossed.

For example - Mg (Alkaline earth metal) have a charge of +2 and Cl (Halogen) have a charge of -1 and when they combine to form the formula their charges get criss crossed and we will get Mg_{1}Cl_{2} or MgCl_{2}

When an alkaline earth metal, A, reacts with a halogen, X, the formula of the Ionic compound formed should be AX_{2}

Why is the sun's renewable energy important to animals?
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

2. they eat plants that get their energy from the sun

Explanation:

Based on the way energy flows through an ecosystem, animals could not survive if they did not have the source of plants. So, the sun's renewable energy is important to animals because the sun helps them grow their food.

I hope this helps and makes sense!

The equilibrium constant for the reaction 2NO2(g) N2O4(g) is Keq = . If a sample at equilibrium was found to contain 0.058 M NO2
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

\boxed{3.6}

Explanation:

                  2NO₂ ⇌ N₂O₄

E/mol·L⁻¹:   0.058     0.012

K_{\text{eq}} = \dfrac{\text{[N$_{2}$O$_{4}$]}}{\text{[NO$_{2}$]$^{2}$}} = \dfrac{0.012}{0.058^{2}} = \mathbf{3.6} \\\\

\text{The $K_{\text{eq}}$ value would be $\boxed{\mathbf{3.6}}$}
