- In each of the following sets of elements, which element would he expected to have the highest ionization energy? msp;a.Cs,K,Lic.l,Br,Clb.Ba,Sr,Cad.Mg,Si,Sarrow_forward2.84 Early attempts to arrange the elements often focused on atomic weight. Mendeleev considered a number of properties in addition to atomic weight, so he realized that some elements seemed out of place when ordered by atomic weight. Using the modern periodic table, identify elements for which Mendeleev must have had to switch the order in order to get the correct sequence of elements.arrow_forwardQuestion:Consider two elements, Element A and Element B, from the periodic table. Element A is located in Group 1 and Period 3, while Element B is located in Group 16 and Period 2. (a) Which element would have a larger atomic radius, Element A or Element B? Justify your answer. (b) Predict the ionization energy of Element A and Element B. Which element would have a higher ionization energy? Explain your reasoning.
