Which element has a higher ionization energy N or F?
F
What is electronegativity?
Electronegativity is the ability of the atom to attract electrons when the atom is in a compound, typically with a covalent bond.
What are valence electrons?
Valence electrons are outermost electrons or electrons in the highest energy sublevel
What is the electron configuration of Helium?
1s2
Which element has a larger ionization energy Mg or S?
S
Explain general electronegativity trends
In general, electronegativity values decrease from top to bottom within a group. For representative elements, the values tend to increase from left to right across a period.
The atom with the highest electronegativity value, Flourine, has how many valence electrons in its highest energy level (outer shell)?
7
What is the electron configuration for Helium?
What is 1s2
Which element has a higher ionization energy Mercury or Polonium?
(Hg or Po) Polonium
Which of these five elements has the highest electronegativity Mg, Al, Si, P, S, Cl
What is Cl or Chlorine
Strontium has how many valence electrons?
Strontium has 2 valence electrons (2nd group - alkaline elements)
What is the electron configuration for Lithium
What is 1s2 2s1
Which of these four has the lowest ionization energy Palladium, Cadmium, Antimony or Astatine?
Palladium
Which of the following four elements has the lowest electronegativity: Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs
What is Cs or Cesium
How many valence electrons do Boron and Tin have respectively
3 (B) and 4 (Sn) respectively
What is the electron configuration for Selenium
What is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d10 4p4
Count the electrons... Se is atomic number 34, so 34 electrons.
What increases from left to right in a period?
Effective charge of the nucleus
Why does ionization energy increase from left to right across a period?
Because nuclear charge increases but the shielding effect stays the same, drawing the valence electrons in closer to the nucleus thus having a greater force holding onto them.
What is he difference between electronegativity and ionization energy?
Ionization energy is the energy needed to remove an electron and electronegativity is the tendency to attract electrons when the atom is in a compound
How many valence electrons does Nitrogen have?
What is 5
What is the electron configuration for Francium or Fr?
1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d10 4p6 5s2 4d10 5p6 6s2 4f14 5d10 6p6 7s1
