The reason the second ionization energy is higher than the first relates to the attraction between the electrons and the nucleus. When one electron is removed from an atom, the neutral atom becomes positive. When one attempts to remove a second electron from a positive ion, there is more attraction between the electrons and the nucleus due to the extra proton. Thus, the second electron is harder to remove and the ionization requires more energy.
Second ionization coefficient is NOT higher than the first ionization coefficient. Matter a fact, when compared to the first it could be neglected, but the number of electrons captured from cathode surface by positive ions can not be neglected, there lays its significance.
2nd ionization energy refers to the energy needed to remove a second electron. By the time an atom has lost its first electron (adding energy enough to equal the first ionization energy), it has become positively charged. This means, it is looking for electrons because it wants to be neutral. Thus, to remove another electron, its gonna fight back with more protons than electrons and pull harder to keep its electron the 2nd time around.
Take Sodium for an example:
The first ionisation energy for sodium is small, while the second is very large. The electron arrangement for Sodium is 2)8)1) so the first ionisation energy removes the first outer electron leaving a stable electron arrangement of 2)8). The electrons are now closer to the nucleus so the attraction is larger, increasing the energy needed to take another electron away. Because there is one less electron, this will mean an increase in nuclear attraction for the remaining electrons.
There is a stronger electric attraction for the second ionization and that requires more energy to overcome.
the energy increases as the charge on the cation increases gradually ie1<ie2<ie3

The ionisation energy depends on the orbital from which the electron is removed and also the distance of the orbital from the nucleus. In the case of Helium, the electron is removed from 1s orbital whereas in the case of argon it is from 3p orbital. As 1s is closer to the nucleus, the force of attraction experience by these electrons is higher and hence helium will have higher 1st ionisation energy.
The usual constraints are the First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics: First: energy is conserved; and second: useful energy gets converted into unusable energy - not the other way round.
The equation for first ionization energy is the equation for the energy required to remove an electron from one mole of gaseous atoms to produce a mole of gaseous ions. It is as follows: X(g) ---> X^+1(g) + e^-1.
The theory of conservatio of energy
By the first law of thermodynamics, energy is conserved - i.e. the sum of the useful work and the energy lost to heat will equal the energy you started with. The second law states that you will never get 100% energy efficiency.
The first ionization energy of an atom or molecule describes the amount of energy required to remove an electron from the atom or molecule in the gaseous state.
the first ionisation energy is the energy required to remove the first most loosely bound elecctron from a neutral gaseous atom in its ground state.
no the same,first ionisation contains a slightly differences in isotopes
Because, as we know that when we go across the period of the periodic table, the number of shells remain the same but the number of electrons and protons increases. So, Rb having its atomic number as 37 and Sr as 38, Strontium has got more nuclear charge as well as more electrons. As a result the first ionisation energy required to remove one electron is more in Strontium than Rubidium.
both are in the same period which accounts for closeness. they are nonetheless different because there are more protons in the nucleus which means electrons are brought closer to it so there is a higher ionisation energy or potential
It is about first ionization energy. It is less than alkaline earth metals.

ionization potential energy. but remember the atom must be neutral .
First ionization energy of sodium is 495,8 kJ/mol.First ionization energy of potassium is 418,8 kJ/mol.
THis is the energy required to remove(ionise) one (the first) outer most electron. For nitrogen this would be quite a large figure, because nitrogen, wants to accept electrons ,rather than remove electrons. As a general rule as you go along any given period, the ionisation energies increase. There are two 'humps', with a slight fall in ionisation energiers in this general increase.
Na(g) --> Na+(g) + e- First ionisation energy is always: X(g) --> X+(g) + e- with X being an element
