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.

What is the general trend of ionization energy as you go across the periodic table?

Across a period, first ionization energy increases. However, when going down a group, first ionization energy generally decreases. As you go down a group, atoms hove more total electrons so they don't really care that much about their outermost ones.


What is the energy needed to remove electrons from an atom called?

ionization potential energy. but remember the atom must be neutral .


What are the element within any giving periodic table would always have the lowest first ionization energy?

Francium in group 1 has the lowest first ionization energy.


Which elements on periodic table have the highest ionization energies?

Helium (He) has the highest ionization energy.


What is the correlation of ionization energies to atomic radii for the elements?

In a group the ionization energy decrease when the atomic radius increase; in a period this relation is not generally valid.

Out of sodium potassium rubidium and cesium Which element has the greatest ionization energy?

Sodium has the greatest ionization energy of the four elements listed from column 1 of a wide form periodic table. Among this group of metals that readily form cations, the largest always has the lowest ionization energy and the smallest has the most. This is generally ascribed to the fact that the valence shell electron is further from the nucleus in the largest element and nearest in the smallest element.


Is ionization potential and ionization energy same?

Yes. If the units are eV (electron volts) this is called ionization potential, if the units are kJ/mol then this ionization energy. The conversion between the units is:- 96.485 kJ/mol = 1 eV/particle) Historically it was always called ionization potential as that reflected the method of measurement.


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).


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 are examples of ionization energy?

Tins ionization energy is 118.10
