Question 1.
What is ionisation enthalpy?
Show hintHide hint
Think about how much energy it takes to remove something.
Question 2.
How does ionisation enthalpy change across a period in the periodic table?
Show hintHide hint
Recall how nuclear charge affects electrons as you move from left to right.
3Question 3.
What is ionisation enthalpy?
- A measure of atomic radius
- The energy needed to remove an electron
- The energy released during electron capture
Show hintHide hint
Think about what happens to an atom when it loses an electron.
4Question 4.
True or False: Ionisation enthalpy decreases as you move from left to right across a period.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Consider the impact of increasing nuclear charge as you go across the table.
Question 5.
Explain how the ionisation enthalpy behavior of transition metals influences their use in chemical industries, particularly as catalysts.
Show hintHide hint
Consider their ability to lose and gain electrons in reactions.
Question 6.
Identify two transition metals and discuss their respective ionisation enthalpy trends alongside their electron configurations, explaining any irregularities observed.
Show hintHide hint
Look into periodic table trends and electron filling patterns.
