Chapter 2, Problem 59P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

Set of elements $\text{Li,}\text{Na,}\text{K}$ is to be arranged in increasing order of ionization energy using period table only.

Concept Introduction:

In periodic table elements are arranged in increasing order of their atomic number, there are total 18 columns and 7 rows in periodic table, elements of each column show similar properties.

Ionization energy is measure of how difficult it is to remove the most loosely held electron from an atom in the gaseous state, higher the difficulty in removing the atom; higher will be the ionization energy.

(b)

Interpretation:

Set of elements $\text{C,}\text{N,}\text{Ne}$ is to be arranged in increasing order of ionization energy using period table only.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

Set of elements $\text{O,}\text{C,}\text{F}$ is to be arranged in increasing order of ionization energy using period table only.
