Chapter 6: Q69E (page 337)

Question:Based on their positions in the periodic table, predict which has the largest first ionization energy: Mg, Ba, B, O, Te.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The largest first ionization energy is oxygen.

Step by step solution

01

describing discussing the trend in ionization energy across the periodic table.

As we go down the table across the rows, ionization energy decreases. In other words, ionization energy increases from bottom to top in a periodic table.

Ionization energy increases, increases as we move from left to right in a periodic table.

02

predicting which among the given element has the largest first ionization energy

Observing the trends of the periodic table, the largest first ionization energy is Oxygen because it is higher up in the periodic table and further to the right of the periodic table.
