The atomic radius of krypton is similar to that of bromine. However, the effective nuclear charge of krypton is greater than that of bromine.

Explanation:

Ionizing an atom require moving an electron from the electron cloud of the atom to a point infinitely far away from the atom. The first ionization energy of this atom is the energy change in this process.

The electron and the nucleus are oppositely-charged. There is an electrostatic force between the two. Removing the electron requires overcoming this attraction. The size of the energy input depends on the electrostatic potential energy of the electron (the gravitational potential energy is much smaller than the electrostatic potential energy.) The separation between the electron and the nucleus is much larger than their radii. Both objects can be considered as point charges. Coulomb's Law gives the electrostatic potential energy of the two point charge that are close to each other.

$\displaystyle \text{Electrostatic Potential Energy} = -\frac{k\cdot (q_1\cdot q_2)}{r}$ ,

where

is Coulomb's constant, q_1

and

are the two charges, and

is the separation between the two charges.

Krypton and bromine are right next to each other in the same period. Their atomic radii will be similar to each other. The separation between the outermost electron and the nucleus will also be similar for the two elements.

The first charge q_1 can be the electron. However, data show that for elements after helium, the second charge q_2 is smaller than the sum of charges on all protons in the nucleus. It turns out that the inner shell electrons (all of which are also negative) repel electrons in the outermost valence shell. The effective nuclear charge $Z_\text{eff}$ of a neutral atom is approximately the same as the number of protons minus the number of non-valence electrons. That number will be slightly larger for krypton than for bromine. As a result, the electrostatic potential energy on a 4p (the outermost orbital for both Kr and Br) electron of krypton will be more negative than that on a 4p electron in bromine. Removing that electron will take more energy in Kr than in Br. The first ionization energy of Kr is hence greater than that of Br.

Actual ingredients of lab (the cookies i am actually making) 1/2 cup sugar 1/2 cup brown sugar 1 1/3 stick margarine 1 egg 1/2 tsp salt 1 tsp vanilla 1/2 tsp baking soda 1 1/2 cup flour 1 1/3 cup chocolate chip can you answer the questions below ? discussion 1. suppose you are given the following amounts of ingredients: 1 dozen eggs 24 tsp. of vanilla 1 lb. (82 tsp.) of salt 1 lb. (84 tsp.) of baking soda 3 cups of chocolate chips 5 lb. (11 cups) of sugar 2 lb. (4 cups) of brown sugar 1 lb. (4 sticks) of margarine a. for each ingredient, calculate how many cookies could be prepared if all of that ingredient were consumed. (for example, the recipe shows that using 1 egg- with the right amounts of the other ingredients- yields 24 cookies. how many cookies can you make if the recipe is increased proportionately for 12 eggs? ) b. to determine the limiting reactant for the new ingredients list, identify which ingredient will result in the fewest number of cookies. c. what is the maximum number of cookies that can be produced from the new amounts of ingredients?
