The ionization energies for removing successive electrons from sodium are 496 kJ/mol, 4562 kJ/mol, 6912 kJ/mol, and 9544 kJ/mol. The great jump in ionization energy after the first electron is removed
indicates that
Select one:
O a. sodium has four or five electrons.
O b. the atomic radius has increased.
c. a d-electron has been removed.
d. the noble gas configuration has been reached.

D

Explanation:

The high jump of ionization energy indicates that we are trying to remove electron from noble gas configuration state.

The ionization energy data specifies that the Elements are from group 1 at period 3 or greater.

Removing the first electron require 496 kJ and the second ionization energy jump significantly due to the removal of electron from the noble gas configuration which is logical because electron try to maintain the especially stable state.

number of molecules / avogadro's number * molecule molecular = mass

explanation:

we define a gram-molecular weight as the mass of one mole of any element or compound. a mole contains avogadro's number of units (molecules) –  

6.022

x

23

. so, dividing the number of molecules by avogadro's number gives us the number of moles. multiplying that by the molecular weight gives us the mass. from the periodic table we find the gram-molecular weight of u to be238 and of f to be19. so,  

u

f

will have a gram-molecular weight of 352g.
