Why is the first ionization of aluminum less than the first ionization of magnesium? Select all that apply. O The 3s electrons shield the 3p electrons from the nuclear charge. O The last valence electron of magnesium ends the occupation of the 3s subshell.

Knowing that atomic radius and ionization energy are two important properties of an atom that are periodic in nature. First, (i) define the term ionization energy. Then, (ii) state the directions along the periodic table (up, down, left, right) that a) atomic radius and b) ionization energy increase and (iii) explain the factors that lead to each of these trends.
Using the concept of effective nuclear charge, explain how the ionization energy varies on the 3rd line of the periodic table (from Na to Cl).
