(a) Ion that would be deflected the most: 𝐕15 31 3– Note: 𝐕15 31 3– is the ion with highest | 𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑟𝑔𝑒 𝑚𝑎𝑠𝑠 | ratio (or the lightest ion with the highest charge). (b) Ion that would be deflected the least: 𝐙17 35 – Note: 𝐙17 35 – is the ion with the lowest | 𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑟𝑔𝑒 𝑚𝑎𝑠𝑠 | ratio (or the heaviest ion with the smallest charge). 3. (a) Cl (b) Si (c) Cr 1s22s22p63s23p5 1s22s22p63s23p2 1s22s22p63s23p63d54s1 4. Biggest jump in IE occurs between 3rd and 4th electron => in Group 13 => 1s22s22p1
