2. Plot the ionization energies versus number of electrons. Explain why the slopes of the I 1 <strong>and</strong> I 3 plots are<br />

different, even though the species in each row of the table have the same electron configurations.<br />

3. Would you expect the third ionization energy of iron, corresponding to the removal of an electron from a<br />

gaseous Fe 2+ ion, to be larger or smaller than the fourth ionization energy, corresponding to removal of an<br />

electron from a gaseous Fe 3+ ion? Why? How would these ionization energies compare to the first ionization<br />

energy of Ca?<br />

4. Which would you expect to have the highest first ionization energy: Mg, Al, or Si? Which would you expect to<br />

have the highest third ionization energy. Why?<br />

5. Use the values of the first ionization energies given in Figure 7.11 "First Ionization Energies of the " to<br />

construct plots of first ionization energy versus atomic number for (a) boron through oxygen in the second<br />

period; <strong>and</strong> (b) oxygen through tellurium in group 16. Which plot shows more variation? Explain the reason<br />

for the variation in first ionization energies for this group of elements.<br />

6. Arrange Ga, In, <strong>and</strong> Zn in order of increasing first ionization energies. Would the order be the same for<br />

second <strong>and</strong> third ionization energies? Explain your reasoning.<br />

7. Arrange each set of elements in order of increasing magnitude of electron affinity.<br />

a. Pb, Bi, <strong>and</strong> Te<br />

b. Na, K, <strong>and</strong> Rb<br />

c. P, C, <strong>and</strong> Ge<br />

8. Arrange each set of elements in order of decreasing magnitude of electron affinity.<br />
