Chapter 2, Problem 2.40P

a. The graph of ionization energy versus atomic number for the elements Na through Ar (Figure 2.13) shows maxima at Mg and P and minima at Al and S. Explain thesemaxima and minima.
b. The graph of electron affinity versus atomic number for the elements Na through Ar (Figure 2.13) also shows maxima and minima, but shifted by one element incomparison with the ionization energy graph. Why are the maxima and minima shifted inthis way?
