Use Coulomb’s Law and principles of atomic structure to answer these questions. Use bullet points for your answer, rather than writing a paragraph.
Which atom has a larger ionization energy, Na or K ? Why?
Which atom has a larger atomic radius, S or Cl ?
Suppose you were trying to find a substitute for Na+ for some application. Where would you begin your search? What ions are most like Na+? For each ion you propose, explain the ways in which it is similar to Na+ and the ways it is different. Use periodic trends in your discussion.
8.Pick four elements in the main group (representative element) of the fourth period.
a.Write its abbreviated electron configuration.
b.Write the correct formula for its oxide. If it forms more than one oxide, you may list them all, but it is not necessary. If it does not form an oxide, state that.
c.Is the most common ion the element forms larger or smaller than its neutral atom? Explain your answer in terms of electronic shells/subshells.

Zn2+ is found bound to many proteins that are involved in biological processes, but unfortunately Zn2+ is hard to detect by common chemical methods. Therefore, scientists who are interested in studying Zn2+- containing proteins will frequently substitute Cd2+ for Zn2+ since Cd2+ is easier to detect.
