#4: Why are the following true?
A. The first ionization energy of Se is less than the 1st IE of
As
B. The very negative electron affinity makes fluorine extremely
reactive.
C. More energy is released upon adding an electron to Br than upon
adding one to Se
D. Xenon has a high IE but is unreactive. Iodine also has a high IE
but is quite reactive,
unlike Xe.
Thanks!
