first ionisation energy Flashcards
1
Q
what is first ionisation energy
A
the enemy requires to remove an electron for each atom in 1 mole of gaseous atoms
2
Q
equation
A
O(g) - 0(g)+ + e-
3
Q
trends down with group
A
ie decreases down the group
because electron being removed is further away from the nucleus,
more inner shells to shield the outer electron
electrostatic attraction is lower
4
Q
trends across periods
A
ie increases across periods
nuclear charge increases, but shielding due to inner shells says the same
electrostatic force nucleus + outer electrons increases
5
Q
amaomiles across the period
A
group 3 - remove electron from higher energy subshell
group 6 - electron pair up and repel in an orbital
