The first four ionization energies in kJ/mol of a certain second-row element are 801, 2427, 3660, and 25,025. What is the likely identity of the element?

Solutions

Expert Solution

Consider the following graph of the ionization energies.

As seen, there is a spike in the 4th ionization energy of the element. This means that after the 3rd ionization, the element reaches a stable configuration. Therefore, the stable ionic form of the element is +3. When considering the second period, the element with the stable +3 ionic form is boron.

The element is BORON

The ionization energy of a certain element is 352 kJ/mol. (Ionization energy is the minimum energy required to remove an electron from an atom. It is usually expressed in units of kJ/mol; that is, it is the energy in kilojoules required to remove one mole of electrons from one mole of atoms.) However, when the atoms of this element are in the first excited state, the ionization energy is only 166 kJ/mol. Based on this information, calculate the wavelength of...
