Question

b) What is ionisation energy? Explain its trend in the periodic table.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

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:

An element's first ionization energy is the energy required to remove the outermost, or least bound, electron from a neutral atom of the element. On the periodic table, first ionization energy generally increases as you move left to right across a period
