Show hintHide hint
Think about what happens when you pull an electron away from an atom.
Question 2.
Does ionization energy increase or decrease across a period?
Show hintHide hint
Consider the effect of nuclear charge.
3Question 3.
What is ionization energy?
Show hintHide hint
Remember it’s related to the electron’s connection to the nucleus.
4Question 4.
True or False: Ionization energy increases as you move down a group.
Show hintHide hint
Consider how distance affects the nuclear pull.
Question 5.
Explain how ionization energy trends influence the chemical reactivity of metals and nonmetals.
Show hintHide hint
Consider how the placement of metals and nonmetals on the periodic table determines their behavior.
Question 6.
Calculate the maximum ionization energy for an element in the second period and explain its significance.
Show hintHide hint
Relate this concept to the stability offered by full electron shells in noble gases.
