Explanation:
The electron configuration for S is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p4, whereas for $\mathrm{P}$, it is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p3.
Due to the increased stability of P’s half-filled p-shell, more energy is required to remove an electron from a $\mathrm{P}$ atom than an $\mathrm{S}$ atom. The electron-electron repulsion in Sulfur makes it easier to remove the first electron.
First ionization energy increases across a period (due to a decrease in atomic radii and an increase in nuclear charge). In period 3, Na is the first element, and Ar is the last to the right.

Explanation:
The lines converge as energy levels increase (increased distance from the nucleus).
Higher energies result in higher frequencies.

Explanation:
Based on the balanced chemical equation, the number of moles of NO2 is twice that of N2O4. Avogadro's law states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to the number of moles of the gas present (25/2= 12.5).

Explanation:
There is an inverse relationship between frequency and wavelength. If the wavelength is doubled, the frequency will decrease by half. Therefore, Choices A, C, and D are all incorrect.

Explanation:
Statement I is true because emission spectra are produced when photons are released from excited electrons returning to lower energy levels.
Statement II is true because this is Pauli’s Exclusion principle.
Statement III is also true because it is included in Pauli’s Exclusion principle.

Explanation:
An insoluble solid can be separated from a liquid by means of filtration. Distillation is used to separate homogeneous liquid mixtures (solid soluble in a liquid or two miscible liquids) with different boiling points. Sublimation is a technique for separating mixtures with volatile components that can undergo sublimation. Crystallisation is a separation technique that uses solubility properties to separate a solid from a solution.

Explanation:
The shortest wavelength corresponds to a higher frequency and therefore a higher energy transition. The 5p to $1s$ represents the largest energy drop and therefore would produce the shortest wavelength.

Explanation:
There is a large increase between the 3rd and 4th ionization energies which shows that the element is in group 13.
Large increases in ionization energy indicate electrons being removed from a shell closer to the nucleus.

Explanation:
The graph of P vs T shows a linear graph (straight line passing through the origin) that rises upward. This graph shows that P is directly proportional to the absolute temperature. As the absolute temperature increases, the pressure of the gas also increases.

Explanation:
Isotopes have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons.
Species A and B have the same number of protons but also the same number of neutrons so cannot be isotopes.
Species C is the only species in the table with 9 protons so cannot have an isotope with another species in the table.
This leaves species D and E which both have the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons. Therefore, the correct answer is D.

Explanation:
Second ionization energies are higher than the first as the electrons are being removed from a positive ion resulting in a stronger electrostatic attraction.
First ionization energies do increase across a period due to increasing nuclear charge.
First ionization energies also decrease down a group due to increased shielding (number of shells).

The mass number is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons. For a neutral atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons

Explanation:
Seawater is a mixture of water and salts. Sucrose, distilled water, and sodium chloride are all examples of compounds.

Explanation:
Second ionization energy is the energy required to remove one mole of electrons from one mole of singly positive gaseous ions.

Explanation:
For p, $l$ is equal to 1. The number of electrons in a given subshell can be calculated using the formula: $6$ electrons.

The p subshell holds 3 orbitals. Each orbital can fit 2 electrons. Therefore, p subshell holds 6 electrons.

Explanation:
One of the laws of gases states that, for a fixed amount of gas held at a constant temperature, the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure.

Explanation:
The atomic number of sodium is 11. The atom loses one electron to become a stable ion with a charge of 1+ (10 electrons).
Choice A is incorrect because it shows the electron configuration of a sodium atom, not sodium ion. Choice B is incorrect because it shows an increase instead of a decrease by 1 electron.
Choice D is incorrect because of 2s^1.
Choice C is the correct answer. Ne has an atomic number 10. In a neutral atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons. Therefore, Ne has 10 electrons in its atom. Sodium ion has 10 electrons too.

Explanation:
Condensation (gas to liquid) requires making bonds and therefore, releases energy. Sublimation (solid to gas) requires breaking bonds and therefore absorbs energy.

Explanation:
Ions do not have the same numbers of protons and electrons. Only species B and C do not have the same number of protons and electrons, so the correct answer is B.

Explanation:
Successive ionization energies are larger, as electrons are removed, there is less electron-electron repulsion, so the remaining electrons are pulled closer to the nucleus, and more energy is required to remove them.

Explanation:

Electrons have negligible mass.
