Q

Detection

A

positively charged ions are attracted to a negatively charged plate generating a current, which a computer analyses. The more ions of a particular size, the larger the current produced

49
Q

First Ionisation Energy

A

Energy required to remove one mole of electrons from one mole of gaseous atoms to form one mole of gaseous 1+ ions

50
Q

Equation for first ionisation energy

A

X(g) –> X+(g) + e

51
Q

Second Ionisation Energy

A

Energy required to remove one mole of electrons from one mole of gaseous 1+ ions to form one mole of gaseous 2+ ions

52
Q

Second ionisation energy equation

A

X+(g) –> X2+(g) + e

53
Q

Factors that affect ionisation energy

A

Amount of protons, distance of electrons from nucleus and amount of shielding

54
Q

Why are successive ionisation energies always larger?

A

2nd IE is larger than 1st IE because the electron is being removed from a 1+ ion with greater attraction to the outgoing electron.

55
Q

What does a big jump in successive ionisation energy show?

A

A change of shell that the electron is being removed from. E.g. a big jump from electron 4 to 5 indicated the element is in group 4 with 4 electrons on the outer shell

56
Q
What group is this element in?
1st IE = 590
2nd IE = 1150
3rd IE = 4940
4th IE = 6480
5th IE = 8120
A

Group 2

57
Q

How does IE change down a group?

A

Decreases - despite having more protons, the elements have a greater distance from the nucleus to the outgoing electron with more shielding

58
Q

What is the general trend in IE across a period

A

Increases - successive element have more protons but the electrons are added to the same shell with the same amount of shielding and slightly less distance between the outer shell and the nucleus

59
Q

Why is there a drop in IE from Mg to Al?

A

The outermost electron in Al is in a 3p orbital compared to 3s in Mg so is slightly further away from the nucleus with more shielding so easier to remove.

60
Q

Why is there a drop in IE from P to S?

A

The outermost electron in S is in a paired 3p orbital compared to singly filled 3p in P. This means there is some repulsion from the other electron making it easier to remove.
