Ionisation potential of the element increases across a period from left to right​

Why is an elements atomic mass not listed as a whole number on the periodic table

The small bags of silica gel you often see in a new shoe box are placed there to control humidity. despite its name, silica gel is a solid. it is a chemically inert, highly porous, amorphous form of sio2. because water vapor readily adsorbs onto the surface of silica gel, it acts as a desiccant. despite not knowing mechanistic details of the adsorption of water onto silica gel, from the information provided you should be able to make an educated guess about the thermodynamic characteristics of the process. predict the signs for δg, δh, and δs for the adsorption of water.

Draw the lewis structure for the trisulfur s3 molecule. be sure to include all resonance structures that satisfy the octet rule.
