1. (15 pts) The values of the first ionization energies of some elements are given on the Figure to the right. There is a general trend toward an increase of the first ionization energies as we go from left to right across a row of the periodic table. (a) Explain (very briefly) inversion of the trend for Be and B as well as for N and O. (b) write an equations for the processes which corresponds to the first and the second ionization energies (IE₁ and IE₂) of B (boron) (c) write an equations for the processes which corresponds to the second electron affinity (EA2) of B (boron) First ionization energy, IE,/kJmol 2500 He 2000 1500 1000 500 0 L Na 10 Al
