Why chlorine is higher in electro negativity and ionization energy

1 answer:

3 0

Explanation: • Electronegativity is the tendency of an atom to attract the electrons in a bond towards it. • Ionization energy is the energy that should be given to a neutral atom to remove an electron from it. The difference in the electronegativity between the two elements is quite small, but the main reason for it is because chlorine is one period below oxygen. Chlorine’s valence electrons are thus less tightly bound than those of oxygen, so they would have lower first ionization energy. Does sodium or potassium have larger ionization energy?

What element forms an ion with an electronic configuration of 1s22s22p6 (or [Ne] ) and a −2 charge? Give the symbol for the elem

seraphim [82]

Answer:

Mg²⁺

Explanation:

Electronic configuration = 1s22s22p6 (or [Ne] )

Charge = -2

This means the element has two extra electrons. So total electrons = 12.

The lement is Magnesium and the ion is Mg²⁺
