The answer is B as isotopes are different versions of the same chemical element containing the same amount of protons and electrons but different amounts of neutrons.
Ca2+ would bond to any element in a 1 to 1 ratio that had an equal and opposite charge.
Neon is a noble gas, and doesn’t form bonds m
Carbon isn’t typically found in ion state, but if it did, it would likely by C4+
Flouring in ionic state is F1-, so you would need 2 flourines to cancel the 2+ charge of Calcium
Then the only option left would be Oxygen which, when in ion form is found be 2-
Answer:
Element 1
Explanation:
The ionization energy is defined as the energy required to remove electrons from the atoms.
We know that the nucleus of the atom attracts the electrons, thus, bound these electrons to the atom.
This means that as the radius decreases, the force of attraction between the nucleus and the electron will increase, therefore, the energy required to remove the electron would increase (and vice-versa).
Based on the above, the atom with the smallest radius would be the atom with the largest first ionization energy.
Hope this help :)
