Why does the second ionization energy of Group 1 Elements greater than the first ionization energy of Group 1 Elements?
It takes more energy to knock off two electrons
What is the energy needed to remove electrons from an atom called?
ionization potential energy. but remember the atom must be neutral .
What is lowest second ionization energy on argon calcium or potassium?
calcium
What has a second ionization energy level of 1577?
The element that has the highest second ionization energy is Li. When you remove the first electron from Li you are down to the 1s orbital. They are harder to remove because they are closest to the nucleus.
What energy required to remove two valency electrons of a metallic atom?
This is the second ionization energy.
Which is greater the second ionization energy of potassium or that of calcium?
potassium is greater in the second ionization energy.
What do we mean by the first second third ionization energies for a particular atom?
First ionization energy is the energy required to remove the first outermost electron from an atom. The second ionization energy is the energy required to remove the next available electron, and is greater than the first IE. The third IE is that energy needed to remove the third electron, and is greater the the second IE.
What do we mean by the first second and third ionization energies for a particular atom?
First ionization energy is the energy required to remove the first outermost electron from an atom. The second ionization energy is the energy required to remove the next available electron, and is greater than the first IE. The third IE is that energy needed to remove the third electron, and is greater the the second IE.

How would you explain the fact that the first ionization enthalpy of sodium is lower than that of magnesium but its second ionization enthalpy is higher than that of magnesium?
Sodium has only one valence electron, and when that is donated to some other atom, the remaining ion has a noble gas configuration that is highly stable. Disrupting that by another ionization requires much energy. Magnesium has two valence electrons; therefore the second is almost as easy to donate as the first. The third ionization enthalpy of magnesium would be very high.

What is the difference between 1st 2nd 3rd ionization energies?
The second ionization energy is always greater than the first because once you have pulled off the first electron, you are now trying to remove the second electron from a positively charge ion. Because of the electrostatic attraction between + and -, it is more difficult to pull an electron away from a positively charge ion than a neutral atom.
Which element in the second period has the greatest ionization energy?
Neon
Which element's second ionization energy level is large compared to its first ionization energy?
Cl
Does calcium have a lower first ionization energy level than sodium?
No. Calcium has TWO valence electrons, and Sodium has ONE. It is lot easier to take off one, than two you see. However, the second ionization energy of calcium IS however than the second ionization energy of Sodium. ;)
Which has the larger sixth ionization energy Se or Br?
The first ionization energy is the energy that is required in order to remove the first electron from an atom in the GAS phase, the second ionization energy is the energy required to remove the second electron from an atom, etc. Ionization energy generally increases for every electron that is removed, and increases from left to right in the periodic table or if moving up the periods. In this case, from the periodic table (or according to Mastering Chemistry) Bromine (Br) has a larger sixth ionization energy than Selenium (Se).
What is lowest second ionization energy on argon calcium or potassium?
calcium
