What is ionization energy?
Think about how difficult it is to remove something from an atom.
Does ionization energy increase or decrease across a period?
Recall the trend secret of nuclear charge.
What does ionization energy refer to?
Focus on what happens to the electrons in this process.
Ionization energy generally increases as you move from left to right across a period.
Remember how protons are changing as you move through the table.
Calculate and compare the ionization energies of potassium (K) and arsenic (As). Explain your reasoning based on periodic trends.
Refer back to the shielding and distance concepts we've discussed.
Design an experiment to measure the ionization energy of a gas-phase element using a photoelectron spectrometer. Outline the key steps of your methodology.
Focus on the relationship between energy, force applied, and electron movement!
