D) Na #11 2nd ionization energy

400

This group has the lowest electronegativity.

What are the noble gases?

400

A new element X is discovered and is able to form both a cation and an anion. Order its ions and neutral atom by increasing atomic radius.

X cation, X neutral atom, X anion
500

The ability to be turned into a wire.

What is ductility?

500

The smallest element with an effective nuclear charge of 4.

What is carbon?

500

Compare the ionization energies of I (#53) to Sr(#38). Explain, mentioning distance, nuclear effective charge, and coulombic force.

The valence electrons of both elements are in the same energy levels so the distance to the nuclei are similar. However I has a Zeff of 7 while Sr has a Zeff of 1. This means iodine has a higher coulombic force and therefore a higher ionization energy.

500

Compare the electronegativity of Mg (12) to Ba (56). Explain, mentioning distance, nuclear effective charge, and coulombic force.

Mg and Ba have the same Zeff (2), however Ba has more electron energy levels than Mg. Therefore its valence electrons are farther away from the nucleus and feel a lower coulombic force. So Ba would also have a lower electronegativity than Mg.

500

Daily Double: Wager any multiple of 500. Example:(0,500,1000,1500,etc.)
