Why is the first ionization energy of aluminium is less than the first ionisation energy of silicon?

Al has atomic number 13, and silicon has atomic number 14. The extra electron that silicon has is in a 3p orbital. In simple terms the extra charge on the silicon nucleus contracts the electron shell, this increases the energy to remove an electron and also decreases the atomic radius.
Al, first ionization energy 577.5 kJ/mol, atomic radius 125pm
Si, first ionization energy 786.3 kJ/mol, atomic radius 110pm

What are the ionisation enthalpies of potassium and sodium?
First ionization energy of sodium is 495,8 kJ/mol.First ionization energy of potassium is 418,8 kJ/mol.
How does ionization energy affect the reactivity of metal?
Ionisation energy determines the ability to loose electron. It tells the amount of energy changes in the process.
Which element has a lower 1st ionization energy than aluminum?
The first level ionization energy oif aluminium is 577,5 kJ/mol.All alkali metals have lower values for the ionization energy.
Which of these elements has the highest first ionization energy Si or C?
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.
What is the first ionization energy for sodium?
Na(g) --> Na+(g) + e- First ionisation energy is always: X(g) --> X+(g) + e- with X being an element
Is Aluminum low ionization energy?
The ionization energy of aluminium is 5,985 77 eV. It is a medium energy.
What is ionisation energy What is first ionisation energy?
The first ionization energy of an atom or molecule describes the amount of energy required to remove an electron from the atom or molecule in the gaseous state.
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 ionisation enthalpies of potassium and sodium?
First ionization energy of sodium is 495,8 kJ/mol.First ionization energy of potassium is 418,8 kJ/mol.
What is the relationship between ionization energy and the alkali metals?
There is no relation ship. They have the lowest ionization energies.
What has a second ionization energy level of 1577?
The element that has the highest second ionization energy is Li. When you remove the first electron from Li you are down to the 1s orbital. They are harder to remove because they are closest to the nucleus.
How does ionization energy affect the reactivity of metal?
Ionisation energy determines the ability to loose electron. It tells the amount of energy changes in the process.
Has the highest ionization energy in the group element?
ionisation energy order for gr 14 is c>si>ge>sn<pb
Which element has a lower 1st ionization energy than aluminum?
The first level ionization energy oif aluminium is 577,5 kJ/mol.All alkali metals have lower values for the ionization energy.
What element has the Highest ionization energy in Group 14?
ionisation energy order for gr 14 is c>si>ge>sn<pb
Is the ionization energy of alkali metals larger or smaller than the alkaline earth metals in the same period?
It is about first ionization energy. It is less than alkaline earth metals.
Has largerst ionization energy in its period?
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.
