Boron and Oxygen Family
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.
Helium (He) has the highest first ionization energy. Ionization energy increase as you go across the periodic table from left to right
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.
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.
Ionization energies generally become larger as electrons are removed from an atom since it becomes harder and harder to remove the next electron. Ionization energies increase from left to right across the periodic table and decrease as you go down the periods. Ionization will decrease sharply when an electron is removed from an atom and results in the cation obtaining a full outer shell. For example: In the element calcium the 2nd ionization energy is greater than the second ionization energy. You can think of it this way. When you remove an electron, the nucleus is able to better hold onto the remaining electrons of the positive ion so the removing the second electron is more difficult. In calcium the 3rd ionization energy is much larger than the second. This is because the 3rd electron is being removed from the 2nd energy level instead of the 3rd energy level. The second energy level is closer to the nucleus than the third so the nucleus is even more effective at holding onto the electrons.

Ionisation energies GENERALLY increase across a period. As a result, the noble elements (i.e. Group 0 elements) usually have the highest ionisation energies, as they are highly stable.
Helium (He) has the highest first ionization energy. Ionization energy increase as you go across the periodic table from left to right
The atomic size decreases (with some exceptions) , the ionization energy , electronegativity and electron affinity also increase from left to right.
In the first period, the ionization energy increases from left to right across the period. Therefore, the electrons on the right side of the first period (e.g., helium, neon) have higher ionization energies compared to the electrons on the left side (e.g., hydrogen, lithium).
The noble gases of each period have the highest ionization energies in their periods. Refer to the related link to see a graph showing the ionization energies of the elements across each period.
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.
First ionization energy increase
In a group the first ionization energy decrease going down.In a period the first ionization energy increase from left to right.
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).
(any period) Electrons are added to the same shell, therefore the nuclear charge is greater. Electrons are closer to the nucleus so have a greater attraction to the neucleus as you go across a period. (enough to get you 3 marks, use this always for this type of question).
