Why is the ionization energy needed to remove the first two electrons from Magnesium atoms relatively low?
magnesium has a 2 valence electrons. because the third electron is not a valence electron, or in the outer shell, much more energy would be needed to remove it
How is the ionization energy of an element defined?
Ionization energy is the energy needed to remove 1 mole of loosely bonded electrons from one mole of atoms or ions.
When you go down the element generally become more or less metallic?
as you go down a group the elements become more metallic. why? ionization energy decreases. ionization energy is the amount of energy needed to remove the most loosely held electrons. when electrons are lost, a metal is formed. so as you go down a group, the electrons are futher away from the nuclear pull (because the period increases). therefore, not much energy is needed to remove the electrons making it easier to loose them
What is ionization energy?
Briefly, it is the energy required to completely remove a valence (outer shell) electron from its atom when forming an ionic bond.See related links below for more info
What energy is needed to remove an electron from its outer most shell?
This is called the ionization energy and an is different for each electron in the atom. Electrons in the outer shell (furthest from the nucleus) have the lowest ionization energy, electrons in the innermost shell (closest to the nucleus) have the highest ionization energy.
Where on the most reactive metals on the periodic table?
the bottom of the Periodic Table. why? a metal looses electrons and at the bottom of the periodic table is the lowest amount of ionization energy (the energy needed to remove electrons) with low ionization energy, not much energy is needed to remove those electrons making it faster and easier to do so.
What is ionization energy needed for?
There is an attraction of the nucleus for electrons. This attractive force must be overcome to remove an electron. The energy to overcome this attraction and remove an electron from the atom is 'ionization energy'.
The energy required to remove electrons from an atom is called?
Ionization energy

What energy is required to remove an electron from an atom?
The energy needed to remove an electron from an atom (in the gaseous state) is called the IONIZATION ENERGY.

Ionization energy is the energy needed to remove 1 mole of loosely bonded electrons from one mole of atoms or ions.
The energy needed to completely remove a hydrogen atom from an oxygen atom is called?
bond energy

Why does it take more energy to remove electrons closer to the nucleus?
the nucleous is positively charged , the electron is negatively charged..the closer to the nucleous an electron is the strongest is the force that attracts it (the force of the nucleous) so more energy is needed to remove it

What energy required to remove two valency electrons of a metallic atom?
This is the second ionization energy.
What energy is needed to remove an electron from its outer most shell?
This is called the ionization energy and an is different for each electron in the atom. Electrons in the outer shell (furthest from the nucleus) have the lowest ionization energy, electrons in the innermost shell (closest to the nucleus) have the highest ionization energy.
