(a)
Interpretation:
An element from the given pair that has more metallic character is to be identified by using the trends within the periodic table.
Concept introduction:
The elements in a modern periodic table are arranged in an increasing order of their
The trends within the periodic table describe the change in the properties such as atomic size, ionization energy, metallic character etc. within a group or in a period.
(b)
Interpretation:
An element from the given pair that has more metallic character is to be identified by using the trends within the periodic table.
Concept introduction:
The elements in a modern periodic table are arranged in an increasing order of their atomic number. In the modern periodic table, the horizontal rows are known as periods and vertical columns are known as groups. There are seven periods and eighteen groups in a modern periodic table.
The trends within the periodic table describe the change in the properties such as atomic size, ionization energy, metallic character etc. within a group or in a period.

Less likely to stick togetherarrow_forward
- What are the representative elements? In what region(s) of the periodic table are these elements found? In what general area of the periodic table are the metallic elements found? In what general area of the table are the nonmetals found? When in the table are the metalloids located?arrow_forwardThe molecules NH3andBF3have the same general formula (AB3)but different shapes. Find the shape of each of the above molecules. Provide more examples of real molecules that have the same general formulas but different shapes.arrow_forward1.

(Do not superscript. Type a space between orbitals: eg. 1s2 2s2 2p6 etc. Use the correct filing order)arrow_forward
- What is the trend observed what is the trend observed for ions energy going down a group? Explain why this trend occursarrow_forwardCompared to their neutral atom counterparts, ions will have smaller or larger atomic radii due to their losing or gaining electrons. According to Jensen (2010), Linus Pauling assigned the radius of the oxygen anion (O“) at 140 pm (larger than the neutral atom, 66 pm). On the other hand, the magnesium atom loses 95 ppm from its 160 ppm radius when it loses two valence electrons, forming the magnesium ion. Determine the value of constant B wen constant n is approcimately 8. Unit is in N-m9arrow_forwardElement First Ionization Energy (kJImol) Second Ionization Energy (kiImol) I K 419 3050 Ca 590 1140 75. Use principles of atomic structure to answer each of the following: (a) The radius of the Ca atom is 197 pm; the radius of the Ca2+ ion is 99 pm. Account for the difference. (b) The lattice energy of CaO(s) is 3460 kJ/mol; the lattice energy of K2O is 2240 kJ/mol. Account for the difference. (c) Given these ionization values, explain the difference between Ca and K with regard to their first and second ionization energies. Element First Ionization Energy (kJ/mol) Second Ionization Energy (kJ/mol) K 419 3050 Ca 590 1140 (d) The first ionization energy of Mg is 738 kJ/mol and that of Al is 578 kJ/mol.
