Doesn’t require it but can be used with red meat and seafood
Answer:
C. The first ionization energy decreases because the outermost
electron is farther from the nucleus.
Explanation:
Ionization energy trend along group:
As we move down the group atomic radii increased with increase of atomic number. The addition of electron in next level cause the atomic radii to increased. The hold of nucleus on valance shell become weaker because of shielding of electrons thus size of atom increased.
As the size of atom increases the ionization energy from top to bottom also decreases because it becomes easier to remove the electron because of less nuclear attraction and as more electrons are added the outer electrons becomes more shielded and away from nucleus.
Ionization energy trend along period:
As we move from left to right across the periodic table the number of valance electrons in an atom increase. The atomic size tend to decrease in same period of periodic table because the electrons are added with in the same shell. When the electron are added, at the same time protons are also added in the nucleus. The positive charge is going to increase and this charge is greater in effect than the charge of electrons. This effect lead to the greater nuclear attraction. The electrons are pull towards the nucleus and valance shell get closer to the nucleus. As a result of this greater nuclear attraction atomic radius decreases and ionization energy increases because it is very difficult to remove the electron from atom and more energy is required.
In studying chemistry, one should learn how to read the periodic table and periodic trends in the table.. Of course, you should also know the abbreviations of each element in it so that you can identify what element is in chemical structures. Memorizing and knowing it by heart is the best way. You should also study what we call chemical nomenclature which is naming combinations of elements. Elements when combined may form ionic compounds, bonds or acids. Knowing what element reacts with another will also be necessary that's why the concept of chemical reactions must be further studied.
