(a)
Interpretation:
The element, which has highest ionization energy among the pair, has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Ionization energy is the energy required to remove an electrons from a gaseous atom (or) iron. The first ionization energy of an atom (or) molecule is the energy required to remove one mole of electrons from one mole of gaseous atoms (or) ions.
The ionization energy and the atomic size of an atom are inversely proportional which means that smaller the size of the higher the ionization energy.
(b)
Interpretation:
The element which has highest ionization energy among the pair has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
(c)
Interpretation:
The element which has highest ionization energy among the pair has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
(d)
Interpretation:
The element which has highest ionization energy among the pair has to be given.
(e)
Interpretation:
The element which has highest ionization energy among the pair has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).

Chemical Principles: The Quest for Insight
- (a) Determine the oxidation number of lead in each of the following oxides: PbO, PbO2, Pb2O3, Pb3O4.(b) The only known lead ions are Pb2+ and Pb4+. How can you reconcile this statement with your answer to part (A)?arrow_forwardUntil the early 1960s the group 8A elements were called the inert gases; before that they were called the rare gases. The term rare gases was dropped after it was discovered that argon accounts for roughly 1% of Earth’s atmosphere. (a) Why was the term inert gases dropped? (b) What discovery triggered this change in name? (c)What name is applied to the group now?arrow_forwardWhen a nonmetal oxide reacts with water, it forms an oxoacid with the same oxidation number as the nonmetal. Give the name and formula of the oxide used to prepare each of these oxoacids: (a) hypochlorous acid; (b) chlorous acid; (c) chloric acid; (d) perchloric acid; (e) sulfuric acid; (f ) sulfurous acid; (g) nitric acid; (h) nitrous acid; (i) carbonic acid; ( j) phosphoric acid.arrow_forward
