Question

Ionization energy of alkali metals and alkaline earth metals

Answer 1

Answer:

Alkali metal atoms have a higher tendency to lose electrons than Alkaline Earth Metal atoms. In other words, Alkali metals have lower Ionization Energy than Alkaline Earth Metals. So, Alkaline Earth Metals have higher Ionization Energy.

Answer 2

Answer:

In terms of ionization energy, alkali metals have lower ionization energy than alkaline earth metals. Ionization energy is the amount of energy required to remove the valence or most loosely bound electron. ... In terms of atomic radius, alkali metals have a higher atomic radius than alkaline earth metals.
