Question

Part A Write the electron configuration for each atom on your own; then complete the sentences to explain the trends in first ionization energy or electron affinity. Match the words in the left column to the appropriate blanks in the sentences on the right. Reset Help a single electron a pair of electrons no electrons The electron affinity of nitrogen is lower (less negative) than that of both carbon and oxygen. This trend is best explained by noting that paired electrons have a repulsion than unpaired electrons, and adding an electron to C pair, while adding an electron to N electrostatic require electrons to require electrons to pair. Adding an electron to O greater smaller does not does require electrons to pair; however, since O already has a paired electron, the additional repulsion is than for N The first ionization energy of phosphorus is greater than that of sulfur. This trend is best explained by noting that in P atoms each 3p orbital contains in S atoms one 3p orbital contains electrons have a an electron from S requires less energy while The value of Z is for P, but paired electrostatic repulsion than unpaired electrons. Therefore, removing Submit Request Answer
