Elemental cesium reacts more violently with water than does elemental sodium. Which of the following best explains this difference in reactivity? (i) Sodium has greater metallic character than does cesium. (ii) The first ionization energy of cesium is less than that of sodium. (iii) The electron affinity of sodium is smaller than that of cesium. (iv) The effective nuclear charge for cesium is less than that of sodium. (v) The atomic radius of cesium is smaller than that of sodium.
In April 2010, a research team reported that it had made Element 117. This discovery was confirmed in 2012 by additional experiments. Write the ground- state electron configuration for Element 117 and estimate values for its first ionization energy, electron afnity, atomic size, and common oxidation state based on its position in the periodic table.
Write balanced equations for the following reactions: (a) potassium oxide with water, (b) diphosphorus trioxide with water, (c) chromium(III) oxide with dilute hydrochloric acid, (d) selenium dioxide with aqueous potassium hydroxide.
Write a balanced equation for the reaction that occurs in each of the following cases: (a) Potassium metal is exposed to an atmosphere of chlorine gas. (b) Strontium oxide is added to water. (c) A fresh surface of lithium metal is exposed to oxygen gas. (d) Sodium metal reacts with molten sulfur.
Among elements 1-18, which element or elements have the smallest effective nuclear charge if we use Equation 7.1 to calculate \(Z_{\text { eff}}\)? Which element or elements have the largest effective nuclear charge?
