Answer:

Explanation:

The element Cl will have the strongest ionization energy from the given choices. Most non-metals have higher ionization energy compared to metals.

Ionization energy is the energy required to remove the most loosely held electron from the gaseous phase of an atom.

As you go from left to right on the periodic table, it increases progressive
From top to bottom, the ionization energy reduces significantly.
The attractive force between the protons in the nucleus and the electrons plays a very important role.
In metals, they have very large atomic radius, the attractive force on the outer electrons is very weak.
This is not the case in non-metals

Why is nucleus of an atom charged is negatively charged?

Damm [24]

Answer:

Charge is caused by a flow of electrons, since electrons are around the nucleus they can be lost or gained by atoms. When an atom gets charged, it gains a charge, that is, it gains an electron. Since electrons are negatively charged, when an atom gains one, it also becomes negatively charged.

Given that the molar mass of NaNO3 is 85.00 g/mol, what mass of NaNO3 is needed to make 4.50 L of a 1.50 M NaNO3 solution?

marissa [1.9K]

Mass = molarity x molar mass( NaNO₃) x volume

mass = 1.50 x 85.00 x 4.50

mass = 573.75 g of NaNO₃

Mechanical twinning occurs in metals having which type(s) of crystal structure(s)?

kari74 [83]

Mechanical twinning occurs in metals having body center cubic and hexagonal closed packed structures. Twinning is said to occur when a portion of a crystal takes up an orientation that is related to the orientation of the untwinned lattice in a definite symmetrical manner.

How are the atomic number and the number of protons related to each other? how do the number of protons, number of neutrons, and

jarptica [38.1K]

The atomic number (Z) uniquely identifies a chemical element. In an uncharged atom, the atomic number is also equal to the number of electrons.

The atomic number, Z, should not be confused with the mass number, A, which is the number of nucleons, the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.

In this video Kristine Born explains this two concepts in more detail.
