Periodic trends are observed in the properties of the elements in Period 3 on the Periodic Table. These elements vary in physical properties, such as phase, and in chemical properties, such as their ability to lose or gain electrons during a chemical reaction. Identify the element in Period 3 that requires the least amount of energy to remove the most loosely held electrons from a mole of gaseous atoms of the element in the ground state.

Hannah is writing a report on how albedo affects the global climate. she’s proofreading her passage for any factual errors. which sentence must hannah correct before submitting her report? earth receives energy from the sun. this energy drives many of the processes on earth, including its climate. some part of this energy is reflected by earth’s surface. we use the term albedo to describe the reflected energy. albedo of an object is the ratio of the reflected radiation to the total radiation reaching the object. a value of 0 means no energy is absorbed by the object, whereas a value of 1 means that all of the energy is absorbed. in this way, the albedo of an object can influence earth’s atmospheric temperature.
