Given the elements cl, 784 kj-mol"', match the atoms with their first ionization energies ge, and k and three values of possible first ionization energies, 418, 1255, a. ci (418), ge (784), and k (1255 kj-mol) b. ci (1255), ge (784), and k (418 kj-mol) c. ci (784), ge (1255), and k (418 kj. mol) d. ci (1255), ge (418), and k (784 kj-mol"') e. ci (418), g (1255), and k (784 kj-mol-)

b.  CI (1255 kJ/mol), Ge (784 kJ/mol), and K (418 kJ-mol)

Explanation:

In general, the first ionization energy for a given period increases as we go from left to right in the periodic table (there are some exeptions as with every rule), and the first ionization energy decreases a we go down in the periodic table. The reason for this are:

1. As we move from left to right in a group, the effective nuclear charge increases which makes it harder to remove the electron.

2. As we increase the period in going top to bottom in the periodic table we are adding another shell farther away from the nucleus, making it easier to remove the electron.

Given the three values for the first ionization energy in kJ/mol : 418, 784 and 1255, we expect the highest value to correspond to Cl which belongs to period 3 (K and Ge belong to period 4).

Now comparing K and Ge which belong to period 4, Ge will have a higher effective nuclear charge than K .

So the match will be Cl (1255 kJ/mol), Ge (784) and K(418)

Correct answer is b.

Note: there could be some confusion since the value of 784 was misplaced in the question statement, but we can deduce that in this question we are asked to match the values for the atoms.

the tides are influenced by both the moon and the sun, it's easy to see that when the sun lines up with the moon and the earth, as during a new moon or full moon, the tidal effect is increased. these are known as spring tides, named not for the season, but for the fact that the water "springs" higher than normal. on the other hand, if the sun and the moon are 90 degrees apart in relation to an observer on earth as during the first quarter moon or third quarter moon, then high tides are not as high as they normally would be. this is because despite its greater distance, the sun's mass allows it to exert enough gravitational force on the oceans that it can negate some of the effects of the moon's pull. this phenomenon of lower high tides is called a neap tide. if you need more information on this topic visit moonconnection.com.
