1) Explain why atoms that are larger in size have lower ionization energies than smaller atoms ?
2) Suggest an element that would form the follwoing types of bonds with chlorine atom(element 17). If a particular type of bond is not possible for chlorine, state not possible and explain why.
A) Polar Covelant bond b) Ionic Bond c) non-polar covalent bond d) metalic bond
E) in the polar convaletn bond which atom, the chlorine or the element you suggested, would have the partial positive charge and why ?
1) Explain why atoms that are larger in size have lower ionization energies than smaller atoms ?
since they are larger in size, they are far away from the nucleus which are positively charged, therefore the energy required to strip an electorn is less
2) Suggest an element that would form the follwoing types of bonds with chlorine atom(element 17). If a particular type of bond is not possible for chlorine, state not possible and explain why.
a) polar covalent --> PCl3
b) ionic bond --> NaCl
c) nonpolar --> PCl5
d) metallic --> not possible
E)
the partial possitive charge is contained in the P atom, since Cl are pretty electornegatives
