It is harder to remove an electron from fluorine than from carbon because the size of the nuclear charge in fluorine is larger than that of carbon.

The energy required to remove an electron from an atom is called ionization energy.

The ionization energy largely depends on the size of the nuclear charge. The larger the size of the nuclear charge, the higher the ionization energy because it will be more difficult to remove an electron from the atom owing to increased electrostatic attraction between the nucleus and orbital electrons.

Since fluorine has a higher size of the nuclear charge than carbon. More energy is required to remove an electron from fluorine than from carbon leading to the observation that;  it is harder to remove an electron from fluorine than from carbon.

Goshia [24]

Answer:

im not completely sure but the mst likely answer would be the would be they have the same density

Explanation:

if two mixture have the same ingriedients their most likely going to have the same density depending of the measurements like when baking a cake when you add your wet ingriedients to your dry one it makes a batter and if you were to make another mixture with the same ingriedients and somewhat similar measurements your going to get a similar density

Can you store cuso4 in an aluminum container? explain your reasoning
mash [69]

We can store the copper sulphate solution in alumiun container, if cover on alumiun is present.

<h3>Can you store cuso4 in an aluminum container?</h3>

Aluminium is more reactive than copper so the Aluminium will displace copper sulphate from its solution by reacting with it but if there is cover on the aluminium then the alumium can't react with copper.

So we can store the copper sulphate solution in alumiun container.
