(a)
Interpretation:
Among silicon and sodium, the element with higher ionization energy is to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
The electrons in an atom are bound with the nucleus because of electrostatic attraction between electrons and protons. The electrons revolve around the nucleus in fixed energy levels known as orbits.
(b)
Interpretation:
Among carbon and silicon, the element with higher ionization energy is to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
The elements are organized in periodic table on the basis of their
(c)
Interpretation:
Among fluorine and sulfur, the element with higher ionization energy is to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
The elements are organized in periodic table on the basis of their atomic number. They are arranged in increasing order of atomic number. The properties of elements can be predicted by the study of this table.
