Question

In general, the ionization potentials of elements decreases
as one proceeds in the periodic table
(a) bottom → top and right → left
(b) top → bottom and right → left
(c) bottom → top and left → right
(d) top → bottom and left → right

Answer 1

Explanation:

In general, the ionization potentials of elements decreases

as one proceeds in the periodic table

(a) bottom → top and right → left

(b) top → bottom and right → left

(c) bottom → top and left → right✔️✔️

(d) top → bottom and left → right

Answer 2

Answer:

(b) top → bottom and right → left

Explanation:

• Ionization potential is the potential difference corresponding to the energy in electron volts that is just sufficient to ionize a gas molecule or to remove a electron completely from the atom.
• The energy equivalent to ionization potential is called ionization energy and measured in electron volt.
• Ionization energies increase moving from left to right across a period due to decreasing atomic radius.
• Ionization energy decreases moving down a group due to increasing atomic radius.
