Best Answer

Beryllium has greater ionization energy, with 899 kJ/mol versus Germanium's 762 kJ/mol.

The general trend (most prominently displayed in the representative elements) in the Periodic Table is increasing ionization energy across a period, and decreasing ionization energy down a group.

What is the energy level for germanium?

The energy level for germanium is 4. You know its 4 because of the period its in for example: beryllium is in row 2 period 2 so the energy level is 2.

Why boron has a lower first-ionization energy than beryllium?

Because in Boron there is a complete 2s orbital and the increased shielding of the 2s orbital reduces the ionisation energy compared to that seen in Beryllium.


Is it ionization energy is a periodic property?

Ionization energy generally increases across a period as a result of a higher nuclear charge, however there are some exceptions such as Boron which has a lower ionization energy than Beryllium (because it is in a P orbital), and Oxygen which has a lower ionization energy than nitrogen (Because ionization decreases the electron electron repulsion in its orbitals).


Why does the second ionization energy of Group 1 Elements greater than the first ionization energy of Group 1 Elements?
