The elements of the first period are hydrogen and helium. The trend for ionization energy is to increase left to right across the same period, so helium's ionization energy is higher. Which makes sense, because helium has a full 1s-level, meaning it doesn't need to react. Hydrogen, on the other hand, is very reactive, which is why we stick it in group 1.
In the first period, the ionization energy increases from left to right across the period. Therefore, the electrons on the right side of the first period (e.g., helium, neon) have higher ionization energies compared to the electrons on the left side (e.g., hydrogen, lithium).
The noble gases of each period have the highest ionization energies in their periods. Refer to the related link to see a graph showing the ionization energies of the elements across each period.
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.
increase from left to right across a period.
With each additional period, there is an additional energy level, which means that the outermost electrons are farther away from the nucleus of the atom. This means that the attractive force of the positively charged nucleus is less, so it takes less energy to remove an electron from an atom in the third energy level than it does from an atom in the second energy level. Therefore, the elements in the third period have lower ionization energies than elements in the second period.
Chlorine has a higher ionization energy. Chlorine's tendency is to gain electrons, not lose them as metals usually do.
Non-metals have higher ionization energies within the same period. This is because non-metals want to gain electrons to be able to be like the nearest noble gas.

In a group the ionization energy decrease when the atomic radius increase; in a period this relation is not generally valid.
Ionisation energies GENERALLY increase across a period. As a result, the noble elements (i.e. Group 0 elements) usually have the highest ionisation energies, as they are highly stable.
There is no relation ship. They have the lowest ionization energies.
(any period) Electrons are added to the same shell, therefore the nuclear charge is greater. Electrons are closer to the nucleus so have a greater attraction to the neucleus as you go across a period. (enough to get you 3 marks, use this always for this type of question).
there is always a decrease in ionization energies down a group, and there is always a general increase across each period. this is always true.
