Here are the answers based on the provided grid and periodic trends:

a) Compare the 1st ionization energies of:

  • i) L and D:

    • L is above D in the same group. Ionization energy decreases down a group.
    • Therefore, the 1st ionization energy of L is higher than D.
  • ii) V and D:

    • V and D are in the same period. V is to the left of D. Ionization energy increases across a period.
    • Therefore, the 1st ionization energy of D is higher than V.

b) Explain your comparisons in (a) above:

  • For L and D: D is below
