8) Compare the elements Na, Mg, O, and P.

a) Which has the largest atomic radius? Na
b) Which has the highest shielding? Na, Mg, P have same shielding
c) Place the elements in order of increasing ionization energy. Na, Mg, P, O

9) Explain each answer briefly.

a) Place the following elements in order of increasing ionization energy: F, O, and S.

S<O<F : Ionization energy increases moving upwards in a group and right in a period. It is more
difficult to pull electrons away from a smaller radius because the nuclear charge is stronger, holding the
electrons tighter
b) Which has the largest atomic radius: O, S, or Se?
Selenium has the largest atomic radius as it is in the fourth period, it has four energy levels compared to
the two oxygen has, and the three sulfur has.
c)

Which has the greatest electronegativity: Se, Cl, or Br?

Chlorine has the greatest electronegativity of these elements has electronegativity increases to the right
and up. Chlorine has a smaller atomic radius than Bromine and so it is easier to attract electrons than
Bromine
d) Which is the most reactive: Na, K, or Rb?
Rubidium is the most reactive of this group of elements because it the valence electron is held more
loosely has there are more core electrons (more shielding) so it is easier for rubidium to lose its valence
electron when it reacts.
