(a) What is the trend in first ionization energies as one proceeds down the group 7A elements? Explain how this trend relates to the variation in atomic radii. (b) What is the trend in first ionization energies as one moves across the fourth period from K to Kr? How does this trend compare with the trend in atomic radii?

- Why does the reactivity of the alkali metals decrease from cesium to lithium?arrow_forwardWhich of the four atoms Na, P, Cl, or K (a) has the largest atomic radius? (b) has the highest ionization energy? (c) is the most electronegative?arrow_forwardExplain why the Hydrated salts of beryllium are acidic whereas hydrated salts of magnesium are neutral.arrow_forward
- Consider the elements in Column 15 in the periodic table, with nitrogen at the top (2nd period) and bismuth in the 6th period. a) How would you expect the oxides of these elements to react with water? b) Applying the analogous concepts of metallic versus non-metallic character, would the oxides of N produce an acidic or basic solution in water? What about an oxide of Bi?arrow_forwardFirst ionization energy generally increases across period 3 elements. Use electronic structure in explaining why it drops at sulfur.arrow_forwardSome versions of the periodic table show hydrogen at the topof Group 1A(1) and at the top of Group 7A(17). What properties of hydrogen justify each of these placements?arrow_forward
- (a) Rank elements: Na, Mg, Al, and K, in increasing order of: (i) atomic size; (ii) ionization energy, and (iii) reactivity. (b) Explain why atomic size decreases from left to right, but increases from top to bottom; (c) Explain why ionization energy increases from left to right, but decreases from top to bottom; (d) Explain why the reactivity of alkali metals (Group-1) increases from top to bottom, where as the reactivity of halogen (Group-17) decreases from top to bottom.arrow_forwardBoron, atomic number 5, occurs naturally as two isotopes, 10B and 11B, with natural abundances of 19.9% and 80.1%, respectively.(a) In what ways do the two isotopes differ from each other?
