Answer:

K

Explanation:

Ionization energy refers to the energy required to remove an electron from an atom. It usually increases across the period due to the increase in the size of the nuclear charge and decreases down the group due to increase in the number of shells.

If we look at the element, K, it has only one electron in its outermost shell. This implies that after this one electron is removed, the second ionization energy involves the removal of an electron from a filled shell.

This usually requires a lot of energy. Hence, the element having the highest difference in energy between first and second ionization energy is K.

Which type of seismic waves produces the most severe ground movement?
Leto [7]
The surface waves are the type of seismic waves that produce the most severe ground movement. This wave is slow in nature and so produces a rolling effect similar to a surface wave in a pond. This kind of wave is far more devastating than the P waves and the S waves. The surface waves have the capacity to shake a building from side to side until it collapses. This kind of wave moves in a pattern similar to a circle. It actually originates at a point and then start moving outwards in a circle.

Which way would CCI2F2 orient in an electric field?
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

In looking at molecules to determine whether they are polar or not we have to look at two things basically;

i) presence of polar bonds

ii) geometry of the molecule

Now, we know that CCI2F2 is a tetrahedral molecule, but the molecule is not symmetrical. It has four polar bonds that are not all the same hence the molecule is polar.

In an electric field, polar molecules orient themselves in such a way that  the positive ends of the molecule are being attracted to the negative plate while the negative ends of the molecules are attracted to the positive plate.

So the positive ends of CCI2F2  are oriented towards the negative plate of the field while the negative ends of CCI2F2 are oriented towards the positive ends of the field.
