Question
With the help of a diagram answer the questions are given below:
- Which atom should have smaller ionization energy, oxygen, or sulphur?
- The lithium forms +1 ions while beryllium forms +2 ions?
Solution
Sulfur should have smaller ionization energy than oxygen.
- Lithium has electronic configuration 1s22s1 while that of beryllium is 1s22s2.
- Li can achieve a noble gas configuration by losing one electron while Be can do so by losing two electrons. Hence, lithium forms +1 ions while beryllium forms +2 ions.
