Answer the following questions about first ionization energies. (a) Generally ionization energies increase on proceeding across a period, but this is not true for magnesium (738 kJ/mol) and aluminium (578 kJ/mol). Explain this observation. (b) Explain why the ionization energy of phosphorus (1012 kJ/mol) is greater than that of sulphur (1000 kJ/mol) when the general trend in ionization energies in a period would predict the opposite.
6.84 Which graph correctly depicts the first ionization energy of three elements in groups 14 (dashed line) and 17 (solid line)? Explain the reasoning you used to make your choice.
Which main group atom would be expected to have the lowest second ionization energy?
Use the atomic radii of scandium, yttrium, lanthanum, and lutetium to answer the questions below. Explain why lutetium has a smaller atomic radius than lanthanum, even though it has a greater number of electrons. Do the atomic radii argue for the placement of La or Lu below Y in the periodic table? Explain.
The first ionization energy of helium is 2370kJmol1 , the highest for any element. (a) Define ionization energy and discuss why for helium it should be so high. (b) Which element would you expect to have the highest second ionization energy? Why? (c) Suppose that you wished to ionize some helium by shining electromagnetic radiation on it. What is the maximum wavelength you could use?
