2 ASRJC JC2 PRELIMS 2023 9729/01/H2 1 In which species are the number of protons, neutrons and electrons all different? A 27 13 Al B 35 17 Cl – C 32 16 S2– D 39 19 K+ 2 The ionisation energies, IE, of five elements are given in the table. second IE /kJ mol-1 third IE /kJ mol-1 fourth IE /kJ mol-1 B F Na Mg Al 2420 3370 4560 1450 1820 3660 6040 6940 7740 2740 25000 8410 9540 10500 11600 Which statement is correct? A The 2nd IE of F is higher than the 3 rd IE of Al because Al2+ has a higher nuclear charge than F+. B The 2nd IE of Mg is lower than 2nd IE of Na because there is inter -electronic repulsion between the paired electrons in Mg+. C The 4th IE of B is higher than the 4 th IE of Al because the electron to be removed from Al3+ is further away from the nucleus. D The successive IE of these elements increase because the shielding effect increases. 3 Which statement about the electrons in a ground state germanium atom is correct? A Electrons are present in four different energy levels. B There are more electrons in d orbitals than there are in p orbitals. C The occupied orbital of highest energy is spherical. D The occupied orbital of lowest energy is spherical.
