elect the best choice, and briefly indicate the reason for your choice: a. Lowest ionization energy: K Rb Cs b. Most favorable electron affinity: Cl Br I c. Most energy required to remove an electron: Cu Cu Cu2

Lowest ionization energy: Cs

Most favorable electron affinity: Cl

Most energy required to remove an electron: Cu2+

Explanation:

Ionization energy decreases down the group. That means that as we move down the group, the ionization energy of elements decreases due to greater distance of the outermost electron from the nucleus and greater screening effect of inner electrons on this outermost electron. Hence Cs has the lowest ionization energy.

Electron affinity of halogens decreases down the group. Hence, Cl possess the most favorable electron affinity.

When an electron has been removed from an atom, the removal of the next electron is usually harder. Thus, the second ionization energy is always greater than the first ionization energy and so on. Thus, it is most difficult to remove an electron from Cu^2+ from which two electrons have already been removed.

the best answer is d because the strong cohesion is caused by the ability of water molecules to undergo hydrogen bonding.

a is incorrect because when water solidifies, it becomes   ice, which expands and occupies a bigger volume for the same mass of water in its liquid state.

b is incorrect because water has high surface tension. besides bonding to itself it hydrogen bonds to other molecules at the top decreasing possibility for breaking of attractive forces.

c is incorrect because the water molecule has oxygen which is highly electronegative and so pulls the electron pair towards itself creating a dipole moment, making the molecule polar.

e is incorrect because water has strong adhesion, ability to stick to other molecules such as glass because of this molecules having stronger hydrogen bonding than water.

they it depends on if one believes about radioactivity, they make a geiger counter beep but maybe it was going to beep anyway electronics do wierd things all the time or it was programmed to beep near certain metals.
