(a)
Interpretation:
The element which has higher ionization energy among the pairs 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 higher ionization energy among the pairs has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
(c)
Interpretation:
The element which has higher ionization energy among the pairs has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
(d)

Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
(e)
Interpretation:
The element which has higher ionization energy among the pairs has to be given.

Chemical Principles: The Quest for Insight
- (a) Briefly describe how the atomic radii and ionization energies of group 1A(1) elements compared with those of group 8A(18). Also, explain why the values of these properties are so different between these two groups. 2.arrow_forward(a) What are the common oxidation states of the halogens?(b) Give an explanation based on electron configuration for the range and values of the oxidation states of chlorine.(c) Why is fluorine an exception to the pattern of oxidation states found for the other group members?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_forward
- (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_forward(a) List four physical characteristics of a solid metal. (b) List two chemical characteristics of a metallic element.arrow_forward(a) One of the alkali metals reacts with oxygen to form a solidwhite substance. When this substance is dissolved in water,the solution gives a positive test for hydrogen peroxide, H2O2.When the solution is tested in a burner flame, a lilac-purpleflame is produced. What is the likely identity of the metal?(b) Write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction ofthe white substance with water.arrow_forward
- Consider the elements O, Ba, Co, Be, Br, and Se. From this list,select the element that (a) is most electronegative, (b) exhibitsa maximum oxidation state of +7, (c) loses an electronmost readily, (d) forms π bonds most readily, (e) is a transitionmetal, (f) is a liquid at room temperature and pressure.arrow_forwardDescribe the oxidising action of potassium dichromate and write the ionic equations for its reaction with(i) iodine (ii) H2S.arrow_forwardWould you expect potassium perchlorate, KClO4(aq), in a concentrated acidic solution to act as an oxidizing agent or as a reducing agent?arrow_forward
- Write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction that occurs when (a) Mg(s) reacts with Cl21g2; (b) barium carbonate decomposes into barium oxide and carbon dioxide gas when heated; (c) the hydrocarbon styrene, C8H81l2, is combusted in air; (d) dimethylether, CH3OCH31g2, is combustedin air.arrow_forwardConsider these statements about an element E in Group 4A: • The most important modern use of E is as an ultrapure semiconductor used to make microelectronic chips. • E has two main allotropes: a shiny silvery-white metal at room temperature, and a brittle gray powdery form at colder temperatures. • Although E is not a common element on the Earth's crust, deposits of the mineral EO₂ are widely found, and this ore can be reduced to E with moderate heating and charcoal. • Under standard conditions, E is a metal. Are all of these statements true about the same Group 4A element? If you said yes, what is E? Enter its chemical symbol: O O 0 yes no X Sarrow_forward30.) Give the symbol of the element with the largest ionization energy from group 4A (14).arrow_forward
