Chapter 19, Problem 19.12CP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The element with the lowest ionization energy on the periodic table has to be located.

Concept introduction:

Ionization energy is defined as energy required to remove an electron from a gaseous atom or ion.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The most electronegative element on the periodic table has to be located.

Concept introduction:

Electronegativity is the property of an atom which increases with its tendency to attract the electrons of a bond.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The group $\text{ 4A}$ element with the largest atomic radius on the periodic table has to be located.

Concept introduction:

The p-block elements are groups $\text{13-18}$(basic metals, metalloids, nonmetals, halogens, and noble gases).

(d)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The group $\text{ 6A}$ element with the smallest atomic radius on the periodic table has to be located.

(e)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The group $\text{3A}$ element that is a semiconductor on the periodic table has to be located.

Concept introduction:

Semiconductor:

A solid substance that has a conductivity intermediate between that of an insulator and that of most metals, either due to the addition of an impurity or because of temperature effects is called semiconductor.

A semiconductor gives partial conductivity of electricity.

(f)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The group $\text{5A}$ element that form the strong $\text{π- bond}$ on the periodic table has to be located.
