for this chart, the greatest increase was from E_15 to E_16. therefore 5 electrons are in the valence shell

When you go down the periodic table what happens to the ionization energy and why?

As you go across a period, ionization energy tends to increase. The reason for this is that as you move across a period, the outer shell of the atom becomes more complete. Consequently, there is a larger "Z" effect (attraction between the valence electrons and the nucleus) which leads to an increased difficulty in removing electrons. It is important to note that while this trend is generally valid, there are certain exceptions.


What is the relationship between the nickel ionization energy and its chemical properties?

The nickel ionization energy is the energy required to remove an electron from a nickel atom. A higher ionization energy indicates that it is more difficult to remove an electron, which can affect the chemical properties of nickel. Generally, elements with higher ionization energies tend to form positive ions more readily and exhibit properties such as increased stability and reactivity in certain chemical reactions.


What is Removing an electron from an atom called?

The process of removing an electron from something is called either oxidation or ionization. Ionization is the process of converting an atom or molecule by changing the number of electrons. In certain chemical reactions, the oxidation state of an atom or molecule is changed, and this is known as oxidation. See more details in the Web Links to the left of this answer.

A certain atom has 8 protons and 10 neutrons. How many electrons does it have?

The number of protons in an atom is equal to the number of electrons. Therefore, an atom with 8 protons will have 8 electrons.

Why electrons are lost?

Electrons can be lost when an atom gains enough energy to overcome the attractive forces holding the electrons in place. This can happen through processes such as ionization or chemical reactions. Electrons can also be lost through electrical discharge or in certain types of radioactive decay.


Which one of the following types of electromagnetic radiation causes certain substance to floursce?

Ultraviolet radiation causes certain substances to fluoresce by exciting electrons in the substance to higher energy levels, which are then released as visible light.

How are the topics of ion formation and periodic trends related?

Periodic trends affect how certain elements on the periodic table react with each other. For example, Ionization energy tend : metals want to give off electrons , non metals want to gain electrons. This trend is essentially which elements are likely to react together and how they would react together, which is essentially ion formation (gain or loss of electrons through a reaction).

Why does ionization energy decrease down the family?

You question is not very clearly stated but I think I know what you are asking. As you go down the column of any family of elements in the periodic table, you move to increasingly heavier and larger atoms. Their outer electrons are therefore farther from the nucleus, and even though the nucleus is larger and has a larger positive charge, the increased distance is the predominant influence, making the outermost electrons less tightly bound, and therefore more easily ionized, with a lower ionization energy.


How are electrons in an organized?

Electrons occupied certain discrete energy levels around the nucleus.
