Explanations

36 As the first five elements in Group 15 are considered in order of increasing atomic number, first ionization energy

(1) decreases

(2) increases

(3) decreases, then increases

(4) increases, then decreases

1linkUse Table S
1linkhydrogen bonding look for H with F, O or N
38 Which ion in the ground state has the same electron configuration as an atom of argon in the ground state?

(1) A13+    (3) K+

(2) O2-        (4) F-

3linkargon has 18 electrons

K+ has 18 electrons

19 lose 1=18

 

39 What is the number of pairs of electrons shared in a molecule of N2? (1) 1      (3) 3

(2) 2     (4) 6

3linktriple bond has 6 electrons or 3 pairs of electrons
40 Which statement explains why a C–O bond is more polar than a F–O bond?

(1) At STP, carbon has a greater density than fluorine.

(2) A carbon atom has more valence electrons than a fluorine atom.

(3) The difference in electronegativity between carbon and oxygen is greater than that between fluorine and oxygen.

(4) The difference in first ionization energy between carbon and oxygen is greater than that between fluorine and oxygen.

3linkBEND- Bonding electronegativity difference

Large difference is more polar
