The ranking of the elements cesium (Cs) with atomic number55 , silver (Ag) with atomic number47 and oxygen (O) with atomic number8 , according to the difficulty of losing an electron
Answer to Problem 3TC
The ranking of the elements cesium (Cs) with atomic number55 , silver (Ag) with atomic number47 and oxygen (O) with atomic number8 , according to the difficulty of losing an electron is:
Explanation of Solution
In the periodic table, elements present to the lower left have weak hold onto the electrons, so they lose their electron easily as compared to the elements present to the upper right which have strong hold onto the electrons, so they do not lose electrons easily.
As cesium element is present at the lower left in the periodic table, so it loses electron easily. Silver element is
So the rank of the elements according to how difficult it is for them to lose electron is:
Conclusion:
Therefore, the rank of the elements is:
