(a)
Interpretation:
The reason as to why ionization energy should increase as
Concept introduction:
The ionization energy is the measurement of energy, which is required to remove an electron from a neutral atom. An atom acquires a positive charge when it removes an electron from its valence shell. The valence shell electron is loosely bind, which is easily removed.
(b)
Interpretation:
The features of electron configurations with the locations of the breaks in Periods
Concept introduction:
Many of the chemical properties of an atom or ion depend on its electron configuration, the ground state distribution of electrons among the orbitals of the species. In the electron configuration the highest occupied energy level indicates the period and the numbers of valence electrons indicate to the groups.
