Why does it take more energy to remove the second electron from a lithium atom than it does to remove the fourth electron from a carbon atom?

Because Lithium's second electron is an inner core electron and not a valence electron while carbon's fourth electron is still a valence electron.

Identify the following elements and write the electron configuration: the group 2 element in the fourth period

Largest: Lithium Smallest: Argon

Between magnesium (Mg), silicone (Si), sulfur (S), and sodium (Na) which has the largest and which the smallest atomic radii

Sulfur is the smallest because it has the most inner valence shell and the greatest amount of protons for the innermost energy level, electron shell.

Identify the following elements and write the electron configuration: the noble gas in the fifth period

Xenon (Xe) 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 4s^2 3d^10 4p^6 5s^2 4d^10 or [Kr] 5s^2 4d^10 5p^6 or 5p^6

Indicate whether fluorine or bromine has the largest value for each of the following properties: atomic radius

bromine- fluorine is n=2 and bromine is n=4, the electrons are much further away from the nucleus

Indicate whether fluorine or bromine has the largest value for each of the following properties: ionic radius

bromine- the valence shell is in the fourth energy level, much further from the nucleus so any electron attracted into the empty orbital would extend that orbital even more

list two other elements with similar chemical properties: Iron (Fe)

calcium and magnesium

In which block of the periodic table are the elements having the following valence electron configuration: s^2 d^1

d-block; transition metals

list two other elements with similar chemical properties: Iodine (I)

fluorine and chlorine

Indicate whether fluorine or bromine has the largest value for each of the following properties: ionization energy

fluorine- has the greatest electronegativity, electron affinity, and because it has the greatest number of protons in the second period which is closer to the nucleus, or concentrated center of positivity, which means the attraction between protons and electrons is the greatest.

Indicate whether fluorine or bromine has the largest value for each of the following properties: electronegativity

fluorine- n=2 and bromine n=4, the electrons are much closer to the nucleus and there is a greater attraction even for the electrons to fill the vacant orbital
