The first level ionization energy oif aluminium is 577,5 kJ/mol.
All alkali metals have lower values for the ionization energy.
As an example potassium has a lower first ionization energy than aluminum (Al).
Lower ionization energy would be associated with the larger atom, as the outer most electrons would be further from the nucleus, and not held as tightly.
The ionization energy is the energy needed to extract an electron from an atom; first ionization energy, second, third etc. can be measured. Reactive chemical elements have lower ionization energy.The first ionization energy for silicon is 786,5 kJ/mol.The first ionization energy for carbon is 1 086,5 kJ/mol.
It has something to do with the effective nuclear charge experienced by the valence electrons in Al and Ga. While aluminum's valence electrons are in the 3p shell, and there are 13 protons in the nucleus. Gallium's valence electrons are in the 4p shell, and there are 31 protons in the nucleus. Additionally, the atomic radius of gallium is not too much larger than that of aluminum. Thus, the electrons in gallium are pulled more strongly to the nucleus and they are more difficult to remove. A similar but lesser effect can also be seen in group IV/14, where Germanium has an almost identical first ionization energy to Silicon, and after the F shell is filled--thallium has a higher first ionization energy than Indium, and Lead has a higher first ionization energy than tin.
No. Calcium has TWO valence electrons, and Sodium has ONE. It is lot easier to take off one, than two you see. However, the second ionization energy of calcium IS however than the second ionization energy of Sodium. ;)

Na, sodium
Barium has more energy levels. So it has lesser ionization energy.

The energy required to remove electron from atom are called ionization energy. Larger atom or molecule have lower ionization energy and molecule have higher ionization energy.

The relationship between atomic numbers and first ionization energies is that within the same period, as atomic number increases so does first ionization because as nuclear charge increases and atomic radius decreases, electrons become harder to remove. However, within the same group, the first ionization energy decreases as atomic number increases because of the added energy level, the electrons are farther from the nucleus and easier to remove.
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).
Lower ionization energy would be associated with the larger atom, as the outer most electrons would be further from the nucleus, and not held as tightly.
