Question

Explain the difference in reactivity of the elements based on their electron configurations. Match the words in the left column to the appropriate blanks in the sentences on the right. loses argon neon low high gains Argon has a completely filled p sublevel, giving it chemical stability. Potassium has one electron in the As sublevel and can easily lose this electron, so it has a first ionization energy. Therefore, it the 4s electron to achieve an electron configuration, giving it the added stability of the filled p sublevel.

Explanation / Answer

answer ===> first blank column ==>[ low ] first ionization energy

second blank column ===>[ loses ]

third blank column ===> [argon }
