Chapter 8, Problem 8.50QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: Periodic table has to be sketched and group and period trends in the first ionization energy of the elements has to be shown. Types of elements have the highest ionization energies and what types the lowest ionization energies has to be given

Concept Introduction:

The ionization energy is the minimum energy required to remove the electron from an isolated atom which is in the gaseous state results to give gaseous ion with one positive charge.

Across the period, ionization energy increases from left to right. Down the group, ionization energy increases from bottom to top.
