Question

A hypothetical element X has the following properties: First Ionization energy: 850 kJ/mol Second Ionization energy: 1700 kJ/mol Third Ionization energy: 13,999 Kj/mol a) if you were to react element X with oxygen, what would be the chemical formula of the resulting compound? b) write the balanced chemical reaction of X reacting with the oxygen to give the product from part a c) would you expect the product of the chemical reaction of X with oxygen to be basic, an acidic, or an amphoteric oxide

Answer 1

of for removing the According to conization energy data, the number valence shell elections will be two because and electron very high energy is required @ formula of compound with oxygen Element X o Chemical formula of resultant compound = x o (b) of x Balanced to give reacting with onggen chemical reaction product xo. 2x + O₂ 2XO product of the chemical reaction of x with The with onggen to be basic
