Chapter 08 – Periodic Relationships Among the Elements
136. The following successive ionization energies correspond to an element in the third row
of the periodic table: I1 = 786.3 kJ/mol, I2 =1,580 kJ/mol, I3= 3,230 kJ/mol, I4 = 4,360 kJ/mol,
I5 = 16,000, and I6 = 20,000 kJ/mol. Based on this pattern of ionization energies, identify the
element.
137. Select True or False: The group 5A elements have relatively small electron affinities
compared to the neighboring nonmetals in the corresponding rows.
138. Select True or False: The radii of ions are always smaller than the radii of the
corresponding atoms of the same element.
