The four spheresbelow represent these four ions, scaled according to ionic size.(a) Without referring to Figure 7.8, match each ion to its appropriatesphere. (b) In terms of size, between which of the sphereswould you find the (i) Ca2+ and (ii) S2- ions?arrow_forwardThe first three ionization energies of an element X are 900, 1745, and 14912 kJ·mol–1. What is the most likely formula for the stable ion of X?arrow_forward
- The lattice energy of MgO is 3890 kJ/mol. The first and the second ionization energies (IE1 and IE2) of Mg are 738 kJ/mol and 1450.6 kJ/mol, respectively. The first ionization energy of O is 1314 kJ/mol. The first electron affinity (EA1) of O is +141 kJ/mol. Using these data, as well as data from a table of thermodynamic data at 1 atm and 25°C, determine the second electron affinity for oxygen, EA2(O). kJ/molarrow_forward2. X is isoelectronic with Xe.
