For element (M) described as: M (g) = gaseous atom M2 + = ion formed

M + = ion formed e- = electron released

A. Write the equations that represent the ionization processes.

B. What happens to the ionization energy when M2 + is formed?

C. Why do successive ionization energies increase for the same element?

Which of the following statements about hybrid orbitals is or are true? choose all that apply. choose all that apply. under sp2 hybridization, the large lobes point to the vertices of an equilateral triangle. after an atom undergoes sp hybridization there is one unhybridized p orbital on the atom. the angle between the large lobes of sp3 hybrids is 109.5∘
