Ionization energy (Ei) is the amount of energy required to remove an electron from a neutral gaseous atom or gaseous ion. Electrons are attracted to the positively charged nucleus; therefore removing an electron requires energy. The process is endothermic, and so ionization energies have a positive value. The first ionization energy (Ei1) is the energy associated with the removal of an electron from the neutral gaseous atom. The reaction is represented for the generalized atom X as: X rightarrow X^+ +e^-
Based on position in the periodic table and electron configuration, arrange these elements in order of decreasing E Rank the elements from highest to lowest ionization energy.
1. Na
2. F
3. Li
4. N
5. B
6. O
a. Highest ionization energy
b. Lowest ionization energy

both adhesion and cohesion are attractions.

they are different in that adhesion is the force of attraction between the molecules of two different substances, whereas cohesion is the force of attraction between molecules of the same substance.

possible examples include capillary action, in which the adhesion between water and glass causes the water to rise in a narrow tube against the force of gravity.

because of hydrogen bonding, water is extremely cohesive.

this causes molecules on the surface of water to be drawn inward, which is why drops of water form beads on smooth surfaces.

hope this .

assuming that your periodic table has eighteen columns, you should highlight   the four elements in the third column from the left of the table.

neutral atoms of elements after calcium contain d electrons. the energy of d orbitals of a particular main shell lies between the energy of the s and p orbitals of the next main shell. for example, electrons in the have energy higher than those in the orbital while lower than those of the orbital.

by the aufbau principle, electrons fill orbitals one at a time, starting from those of the lowest energy. the orbital is therefore filled right after orbitals and before orbitals.  

potassium has electron configuration and calcium . the s orbital of a main shell holds a maximum of two electrons. the next element would thus have the electron configuration and satisfy the requirements.

a neutral atom of the element contains three electrons on top of the most recent noble gas element. it should thus be placed in the third column of the periodic table. both scandium and yttrium would satisfy the conditions. an aufbau diagram indicates that the 4f orbital is filled before the 5d. however, it appears that exceptions exists for both lanthanum and actinium. neutral atoms of the two d-block elements also demonstrate the and should be highlighted as well.
