Question

Also, why is second IE Mg less than second IE Al? Why 3rd IE Mg larger than 3rd IE Al? If you could explain IE and EA very simply thatd be great!

Match the element to the description. Your choices are: Na, AI, P, CI, Ar (you will use only four of these!) a. -An unreactive gas with a large ionization energy and no measurable electron affinity. b. A very reactive solid that forms a basic oxide. It has a small ionization energy and electron affinity. c. _A very reactive solid that forms an acidic oxide. Has a moderate ionization energy and electron affinity d._A very reactive gas that has a large ionization energy and electron affinity

Answer 1

solation :- a. As → An in reactive gas with a large lonization energy and no measurable electron affinity Reason: Ar has complete ocht (s²p6) - b. Na) → a very reactive solid that forms a basic Goide. It has a small conizatem energy and electron affinity Reason: Na : 1s? 28²2p8, 35' anlata Nazoz 20a for Mazo A very reactive solid that forms an acidie oxide.
