Question

6.) Explain with as much detail possible why when bonding, fluorine will have a greater pull on bonding electrons compared to iodine. U 7.) Explain with as much detail possible why sodium has a larger atomic radius than magnesium, 8.) Explain with as much detail possible why phosphorus has a larger atomic radius than nitrogen. 9.) Elements are very chemically reactive in groups 1 and 7. Use the trends to explain this observation. 10.) Below are the first thru third ionization energies of aluminum. Explain why the 2d is so much greater than the 1". 1st 577.5 KJ/mol 2nd 1816.7 KJ/ mol 3rd 2744.8 KJ/ mol

Answer 1

Fluorine will have greater pull of electron than iodine because fluorine is more electronegative than iodine that is it have more tendency to attract electron than iodine.

The electronegativity of fluorine is more bechare it have small size so electron are much closer to nucleus whereas in iodine due to bigger size as it is down in the group electron are not as close as in fluorine.
