It’s fluorine it has a big jump from the 6th to 7th ionisation energy.
It’s electronic configuration is 1s2 2s2 2p5 as it has 9 electrons and 7 electrons in outermost shell.
Therefore it’s in group 7, as after the 7 electrons are removed, the 8th electron is removed from a quantum shell closer to the nucleus.
This results in greater ionisation energy due to stronger electrostatic forces of attraction between positively charge nuclei and electrons ( + shorter distance)
Answer:
Fluorine > Selenium > Arsenic > Potassium > Argon
Explanation:
Electron affinity describes the ability or readiness or tendency of an atom to gain an electron.
The higher the value, the higher the tendency. Electron affinity depends on the on the nuclear charge and atomic radius. When nuclear charge is more, electron affinity is high, when atomic radius increases electron affinity reduces.
Noble gases such as Helium, Neon, and Argon would have 0 affinity for electrons because of their stable electronic configuration. From the list, Ar is the least in terms of electron affinity.
Potassium is a metal with large electropositivity which describes the tendency of an atom to lose electrons. Potassium would readily lose electrons instead of gaining.
Between Arsenic and Selenium: Arsenic belongs to group V and Selenium group VI. The two elements both belong to period IV on the periodic table. Across a period, electron affinity increases due to increase in nuclear charge. Therefore, Selenium would have a greater electron affinity compared to Arsenic.
Fluorine has the highest electron affinity of all. It needs just an electron to complete its octet.
A chemical reagent that is used in this experiment is silver nitrate (AgNO3). It is used to distinguish calcium chloride and calcium carbonate. when this reagent is used, silver from silver nitrate reacts with Chloride to calcium chloride and forms silver chloride, making a precipitates of white color.
As we know that 760 mmHg is equal to 1 atm.
So,
If 760 mmHg is equal to = 1 atm
Then
738 mmHg will be equal to = X atm
Solving for X,
X = (738 mmHg × 1 atm) ÷ 760 mmHg
X = 0.971 atm
Result:
738 mmHg is equal to 0.971 atm.
