In the following exercise we're going to do a thought experiment where you and some friends are taking a trip to the molecular plane! (Don't worry about the logistics, just have fun!) Use your knowledge of atomic radius, effective nuclear charge, and ionization energy to answer the questions below that pertain to your trip. a. Your booking atoms to stay in for your trip, and Hotwire is showing five atoms available at the Neutral Atom Lodge. You get first pick, and you want the biggest possible atom to stay in (because you deserve it). Which of the following below should you choose? Explain why your choice is the biggest. Ar, S, Cl, Ca, K b. One of your friends has found a better deal on Expedia for the Noble Gas Configuration Inn. You still want the largest atom, so which of the following ions should you choose? Explain why your choice is the biggest. Ar, S², CI', Ca?", K* c. Now it's time to do some sightseeing! You've rented a negatively charged vehicle and start traveling around different atoms. While passing the first two atoms, you feel a slight tug on the vehicle but aren't pulled off course. However, when passing the third atom, you get some whiplash from a strong pull on your vehicle. You look back and see neutral atoms of lithium, phosphorus, and sodium. Which atom is most likely to have caused your whiplash? Explain why (in case you need to go to court).
