What is the relationship between ionization energy and the alkali metals?
There is no relation ship. They have the lowest ionization energies.
Elements with the highest ionization energy and thus the lowest reactivity are non-metals?
Noble gases
How does ionization energy affect the reactivity of metal?
Ionisation energy determines the ability to loose electron. It tells the amount of energy changes in the process.
What is the relationship between the ionization energy of a mono anion such as Cl and the electron affinity of the neutral atom?
This quantities have the same magnitude but opposite sign.
Define nonmetal in terms of chemical reactivity?
It tends to become negative ions, it has a high electronegativity and ionization energy. Also, it gains electrons.
How is the reactivity of metals related to the periodic table?
In the alkali metals column (Group 1), atomic radius increases down the group and reactivity increases. There are more shells preventing the attraction between the positive nucleus and negatively charged outer electron. (All Group 1 elements have 1 electron in their outer shell). Also, because they contain more shells down the group, the distance between the nucleus and electrons is increased. Therefore the electrostatic force is lessened between them. Both of these allow the outer electron to be lost easier to other elements, thus increasing reactivity.
Between beryllium and barium which element will have the lower ionization energy?
Barium has more energy levels. So it has lesser ionization energy.
What is the relationship between elements and the periodic table and ionisation energy?
The relationship between atomic numbers and first ionization energies is that within the same period, as atomic number increases so does first ionization because as nuclear charge increases and atomic radius decreases, electrons become harder to remove. However, within the same group, the first ionization energy decreases as atomic number increases because of the added energy level, the electrons are farther from the nucleus and easier to remove.
What is the energy needed to remove electrons from an atom called?
ionization potential energy. but remember the atom must be neutral .
Which elements on periodic table have the highest ionization energies?
Helium (He) has the highest ionization energy.
Is fire an ionization energy?
No fire is not an ionization energy
What is the energy needed for ionization called?
ionization energy
