Question
This property is compared between first-row transition metals with plus-2 oxidation states in the Irving-Williams series. Diagonal dotted lines draw a “field” where this property is present in water in Pourbaix diagrams. The relative strength of this property is compared for different oxidation states on a Frost diagram. This property is more present in the (*) thermodynamic product than the kinetic product of reactions since they have a higher activation energy. This property occurs when a chemical system is in its lowest energy state. “Magic numbers” of nuclei are thought to correspond to a hypothetical “island of” this property due to their long half-lives. For 10 points, the noble gases are often nicknamed for having what other property, the ability of a chemical system to resist change? ■END■
