Electron affinity is defined as the change in energy (in kJ/mole) of a neutral atom (in the gaseous phase) when an electron is added to the atom to form a negative ion. In other words, the neutral atom's likelihood of gaining an electron.


Electron Affinity of Lithium is 59.6 kJ/mol.

Electron Affinity of Caesium is 45.5 kJ/mol.

Electron Affinity of Lithium is 59.6 kJ/mol. Electronegativity of Lithium is 0.98. ... Electron affinities are more difficult to measure than ionization energies. An atom of Lithium in the gas phase, for example, gives off energy when it gains an electron to form an ion of Lithium.

Trends

The ionization energy of the elements within a period generally increases from left to right. This is due to valence shell stability.

The ionization energy of the elements within a group generally decreases from top to bottom. This is due to electron shielding.

The noble gases possess very high ionisation energies because of their full valence shells as indicated in the graph. Note that helium has the highest ionization energy of all the elements.

Select the following statements that are true. Select all that apply.
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

(a) The simplest organic compounds which contains only carbon and hydrogen atoms are called hydrocarbons.

(b) The IUPAC naming of organic compounds have some rules for the naming of compounds, which consists of

  • Finding the longest chain present in the compound called parent chain.
  • A prefix for any substituent attach to the parent chain.

And lastly a suffix for the type of bond that molecule have.

(c) Isomers are the compound which same same molecular formula but different arrangement of molecules, due to this different arrangement they have different physical and chemical properties.

Which of these elements is unlikely to form covalent bonds? s, h, mg, ar, si?
kari74 [83]
<span>Answer: K because it is metal and typically forms ionic bonds. Ar is also unlikely to form any bonds because it has a full outer shell of electrons, but it can form covalent bonds.</span>
