U1S1- Ionisation Energy

Question 1

Nuclear charge

Answer 1

The more protons there are in the nucleus, the more positively charged the nucleus is and the stronger the attraction is for the electrons.

Question 2

Atomic radius

Answer 2

The greater the atomic radius, the less attracted the outer shell of electrons is to the nucleus.

Question 3

Sheilding

Answer 3

As the number of shells increase, the less attraction the electrons have to the nucleus.

Question 4

First ionisation energy

Answer 4

The first ionisation energy is the energy needed to remove 1 electron from each atom in 1 mole of gaseous atoms to form 1 mole of 1+ ions.

Question 5

Second ionisation energy

Answer 5

The energy needed to remove 1 mole of 1 electrons from 1 mole of gaseous ions to form 1 mole of 2+ ions.
