What is the relationship between ionization energy and the alkali metals?

There is no relation ship. They have the lowest ionization energies.


Which element in the fifth period has the highest ionization energy?

xenon increases from left to right across periods (first ionization energy)


What general statement can summarize the trend in the ionization energy when moving across a period of element?

123


How can you tell if an element is more metallic than another?

the more metallic element will be the one below in group # or the one closer to the left in the period( the more metallic will be the one closer to the bottom left corner) since they have the lowest ionization energy and lower electronegativity


Sodium an alkali metal and chlorine a halogen are both in Period 3 of the periodic table Which element has a higher ionization energy?

Chlorine has a higher ionization energy. Chlorine's tendency is to gain electrons, not lose them as metals usually do.


How does ionization energy of elements in the same period change?

Ionization energy increases as you go across a period, but as you go down a group it decreases.


Which elements has the highest ionization energy?

Helium (He) has the highest ionization energy, then Neon (Ne) Ionization energy increases as you go across a period from left to right. Ionization energy decreases as you go down a group. Therefore, elements in the upper right of the periodic table have the highest ionization energy.


To which third period element do these ionization values belong?

Al


What accounts for the general trend in the first ionuization energy of the elements within a period?

As you go from right to left in a period in the periodic table the ionization energy increases. While going from top to bottom in a group in the periodic table the ionization energy decreases .


What happens to the first ionization energy of the elements as a period is crossed?

Moving from left to right across a period, the first ionization energy increases because it becomes increasingly difficult to remove an electron.


Elements belong in upper ionization energy?

All of the elements on the top half of the periodic table belong in upperionizationenergy because the trend is top to bottom. Top being lowest and getting bigger as it goes down.------------------------------------------------------* In a group: the ionization energy decrease from the lighter elements to heavier elements.* In a period: the ionization energy increase from the left elements to the elements of the right.* When the atomic radius decrease the ionization energy increase.
