Below is a list of successive ionization energies (in kJ/mol) for a period 3 element. Identify the element and explain how you came to that conclusion. IE2 = 2250 IE3 = 3360 IE4= 4560 IE5= 7010 IE6= 8500 IE7 = 27,100
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Question 2

Convert 10 cm3 to m3.
 
  A) 1  10-5 m3
  B) 1  10-1 m3
  C) 1  103 m3
  D) 1  107 m3

Answer to Question 1

The large increase in ionization energy between IE6 and IE7 shows that there are 6 valence electrons in this element. The only period 3 element that contains 6 valence electrons is S.

Answer to Question 2

A
