Question

6. What happens to the ionization potential-? [2]
a. Moving from left to right in a period

Answer 1

$\huge{\mathcal{\pink{Answer}}}$

Ionization energy exhibits periodicity on the periodic table. The general trend is for ionization energy to increase moving from left to right across an element period. Moving left to right across a period, atomic radius decreases, so electrons are more attracted to the (closer) nucleus.

Answer 2

Answer:

from left to right ionization potential increases

Explanation: because from left to right size of the atom decreasing thus nuclear charge increases there by the electrons are attracted to the nucleus very well...thus it is very hard to remove an electron from its outer most shell....

across period from left to right it increases

across a group from top to bottom it decreases
