(a)
Interpretation:
Among silicon and sodium, the element with higher ionization energy is to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
The electrons in an atom are bound with the nucleus because of electrostatic attraction between electrons and protons. The electrons revolve around the nucleus in fixed energy levels known as orbits.
(b)
Interpretation:
Among carbon and silicon, the element with higher ionization energy is to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
The elements are organized in periodic table on the basis of their
(c)
Interpretation:
Among fluorine and sulfur, the element with higher ionization energy is to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
The elements are organized in periodic table on the basis of their atomic number. They are arranged in increasing order of atomic number. The properties of elements can be predicted by the study of this table.

O Mg O Cs O Farrow_forwardWhich statement is true about an element with the generic valence electron configuration ns²np4? This element is diamagnetic. The ion of this element would be isoelectronic with the noble gas in the preceding period. It has a lower ionization energy than an element with the generic electron configuration ns² when 'n' is the same number. It has a higher electron affinity than an element with the generic electron configuration ns²np² when 'n' is the same number. The element's ionic radius would be smaller than its atomic radius.arrow_forward
