Question

How does ionisation energy affect ionic bonding?

Answer 1

Answer:

yes...

Explanation:

Ionisation energy is the amount of energy, which is required to remove the most loosely bound electron(s) from an isolated gaseous atom to form a positive ion.

In forming an ionic bond, one atom must form a cation by losing one or more electrons. In general, elements having low ionisation energies have a more favourable chance to form a cation, thereby having a greater tendency to form ionic bonds.

Thus, lower ionization energy of metallic elements favours the formation of an ionic bond. It is because of low ionization energy that the alkali and alkaline earth metals, form ionic compounds.

Answer 2

The stronger the electron is bound to the atom, the higher the ionization energy.

Ionization energy:

• The ionization energy gauges an element's capacity to engage in chemical reactions requiring the donation of electrons or the production of ions.
• It frequently has to do with the kind of chemical bonds that are formed between the constituents of the compounds that they produce.
• The positive ionization energy of neutral atoms indicates that the action is endothermic.
• The first or initial ionization energy of an atom or molecule is the amount of energy required to separate one mole of isolated gaseous atoms or ions from one mole of electrons.
• Indicating a greater tendency for creating ionic bonds, low ionization energy components are more likely to form a cation.
• The lower ionization energy of metals thereby promotes the formation of an ionic bond.
