if there are the same amount of protons and electrons in an atom then it is neutral, but if it has more of one or the other then it has a positive or negative ion!!!! trust me
Because when many elements become ions, by losing or gaining electrons, they are left with 8 electrons, like the noble gases, so this makes them much more stable. This is true for many elements, but not all.
In short, yes.
In full, it has to do with their orbitals. Take oxygen for example. It has 8 electrons when not an ion, but this leaves its orbitals imbalanced. Oxygen, in terms of electron configurations has 2 electrons in the 1s energy level, which is balanced. It then has 2 more in the 2s energy level, also balanced. when it reaches the 2p energy level, it becomes imbalanced. A p energy level contains three orbitals. Oxygen has 1 electron in the first two orbitals and 2 in the last orbital. Orbitals are imbalanced when they don't contain their full 2 electrons, therefore making the parent oxygen less stable than an oxygen ion.
the number protons and neutrons in its nucleus and the number of electrons in its valence shell.
Yes, Ions are more stable than atoms due to the gain of electrons which gives them a full shell.
low ionisation energy implies lower stability of the isolated neutral gaseous atom and higher stabilty of its corresponding oxidation state.
To become stable, an ion must have 8 valence electrons in its outer shell.
because they are negative
Helium (He) has the highest ionization energy.
ionization energy
they are essentially different quantities NOT just opposite signs so....(your answer is D)
Oxygen's ionization energy is 15.9994
Helium has the highest first ionization energy and francium has the lowest first ionization energy.
There is no relation ship. They have the lowest ionization energies.
half filled P orbitals increase the stability resulting in higher ionization energy
This quantities have the same magnitude but opposite sign.
Barium has more energy levels. So it has lesser ionization 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.
ionization potential energy. but remember the atom must be neutral .
Helium (He) has the highest ionization energy.
No fire is not an ionization energy

Sulfer's ionization energy is 32.066
Argon's ionization energy is 39.948
