PART A:
Based on position in the periodic table also electron configuration, place these elements in order of decreasing E11 (ionization energy) .
Level the elements from highest to lowest ionization energy. To rank items as equivalent, overlap them.
K, O, Na, P, Al, S
PART B:
Study the following set of ionization energy values for a certain element. Explain how many valence electrons does an atom of the neutral element possess?
Ionization step- ionization energy (kJ/mol):
E11 1012
E12 1903
E13 2912
E14 4956
E15 6273
E16 22233
E17 25957
