Interpretation: Reason for the metallic elements of a given period to have lower ionization energies than the nonmetallic elements needs to be explained.
Concept introduction: Ionization energy is defined as the minimum energy required to eject out the outermost electron from an isolated gaseous atom.

Answer to Problem 53A
This is because metallic elements are electropositive and nonmetallic elements are electronegative in nature.
Explanation of Solution
Being electropositive metallic elements have tendency to lose electrons. Thus an electron can be easily removed from its outermost shell due to which the ionization energy is low whereas being electronegative nonmetallic elements have tendency to gain electrons due to which it is difficult to remove an electron from its outermost shell due to which the ionization energy is higher in this case.
Because of electropositive nature of metallic elements they have lower ionization energies than nonmetallic elements in the same period.

- 4. Show the product(s) for the following reaction if it proceeds via the S42 mechanism AND if it proceeds via an Syt mechanism? Draw the mechanisms for both reactions and show all resonance structures for any intermediates. Would you expect the Su or Sy2 reaction to be favoured and why?

- Complete the following table. The only density needed is already given. Show your calculations in a neat and easy-to-follow manner in the space below the table. All units should be included and significant figures should be given close attention. Be sure to notice that the amount of material should be in millimoles rather than moles, and the theoretical mass of the product should in milligrams rather than grams.
