It takes more energy to add an electron to nitrogen than to carbon because of the extra repulsions that would occur in the 2p orbitals. IV. Less energy is released in adding an electron to iodine than to chlorine because the radius of iodine is larger and the electron is added at a distance further from the nucleus. a) II, III b) I, II, IV c) III only d) I, II e) All of the above are false statements.

Which of the following concerning second ionization energies is true? a) That of Al is higher than that of Mg because Mg wants to lose the second electron, so it is easier to take the second electron away. b) That of Al is higher than that of Mg because the electrons are taken from the same energy level, but the Al atom has one more proton. c) That of Al is lower than that of Mg because Mg wants to lose the second electron, thus the energy change is greater. d) That of Al is lower than that of Mg because the second electron taken from Al is in a p orbital, thus it is easier to take. e) The second ionization energies are equal for Al and Mg.

The statement that the first ionization energy for an oxygen atom is lower than the first ionization energy for a nitrogen atom is a) consistent with the general trend relating changes in ionization energy across a period from left to right, because it is easier to take an electron from an oxygen atom than from a nitrogen atom b) consistent with the general trend relating changes in ionization energy across a period from left to right, because it is harder to take an electron from an oxygen atom than from a nitrogen atom c) inconsistent with the general trend relating changes in ionization energy across a period from left to right, due to the fact that the oxygen atom has two doubly-occupied 2p orbitals and nitrogen has only one d) inconsistent with the general trend relating changes in ionization energy across a period from left to right, due to the fact that oxygen has one doubly-occupied 2p orbital and nitrogen does not e) incorrect
