General Chemistry Fall 2018 Valeria ) 9of16 For the series of elements X, Y, and Z all in the same period (row, arrange the elements in order of decreasing first ionization envergy Element Radius move an energy refers to m an electrically nization successive d ion (pm) 122 179 250 Rank from highest to lowest first ionization energy. To rank items as equivalent, overlap them. View Available Hint(s) Reset Help element X element Y element Z Highest first ionization energy Lowest first ionization energy 8:14.. Guest

Explanation / Answer

The element X exhibit highest ionization energy and element Z exhibits lowest ionization energy. The reason behind is the element having more atomic radius as outer most electron of element are far away from nucleus and as result less amount energy required to ionize the element ( remove electron) where as the element having less atomic radius will hold electrons tightly from neuclus as a result high amount energy required to ionize the element (to remove electron). Hence below is order of ionization energy.

X> Y> Z.
